Hi Rob,
Recently I have been making some Studioware panels for some of my old hardware units. I use my old Sonar 2.2 install, which I think was the last version to have the editor.
Studioware panels when combined with a touch screen work quite well for what you are describing.
If you want to list out the CCs you are after, and the labels, I could knock one up for you.
Studioware is surprisingly deep.
It may have been abandoned last century, but much of it still seems functional.
Its the only way I have found to quickly make touch panels for hardware that uses some of the more obscure midi commands.
For instance my Plugiator uses Midi Poly Aftertouch commands to control a lot of deeper parameters. These are a nightmare to enter in just about every software I have looked at. Quite straight forward in studioware.
 
Cheers

Thanks for the offer, but unless I could extend/fix/manipulate myself it would end up being a dead end street. I would start simple and then add features as needed, so I'd be bugging you too often ...
 
Cakewalk could make that old piece of software downloadable at our own risk.
 
However, the stuff found at http://ctrlr.org/ probably outperforms it. I found it quite intuitive to understand and build a simple custom GUI for an external MIDI controllable FX, but have not had the time / sufficient need to max that out.
