Hi,
we are using Zyn with the old interface (version 2.xx) and would like to know:
- why are only 16 slots available for the midi learn script?
- can we just enhance the number of slots by changing the line:
<mgr-info nslots="16" nautomations="4" ncontrol="8" />
to
<mgr-info nslots="32" nautomations="4" ncontrol="8" />
or
<mgr-info nslots="256" nautomations="4" ncontrol="8" />
to get a lot more slots?

Right now that value is hard coded in:

I acknowledge that the old MIDI-learn subsystem had the ability to learn basically every possible MIDI CC and that's a current deficiency in the new subsystem. The restriction was mostly made to make it simpler to display the information to users in the new interface and to favor the system being approachable for DAW/host automations more-so than MIDI learn (based upon a pretty large amount of feedback).

I'm interested in revisiting the MIDI-learn limitations in the future, but at the moment I don't know the best way of relaxing that limit without complicating user interactions elsewhere.
