[Rwp] Last touched FX parameter unavailable. Why oh why?

[Chris Smart]

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you, 
but I do have a question. Which control surface are you using?

I'm waiting to see what people think of the 
Behringer X-Touch units, as I really do want to 
replace this BCF2000 with something more robust. 
If I could afford a real Mackie Control, I would 
just get one of those, but the budget doesn't stretch that far.
