The only defined controls I see for reverb and chorus are for Reverb send and Chorus send (CC 91 and 93). That could be used sensibly for reverb and chorus send levels. That still leaves Reverb room size, damping, and width. With chorus it leaves the number of voices, speed, depth and type. Othe

Hi Element - I'm surprised to hear there isn't support for reverb/chorus settings. Does that mean e.g. reverb settings api call doesn't do anything by design at the moment? If so, is there any way (other than
