It's meant to be completely edited by hand, simply. There are a number of MIDI devices which do offer computer based configuration, if that is something you're interested in, the MioXL is one that comes to mind.
However, if anyone else want's to make an editor for presets, feel free to reach out to me and I can probably provide some file specifications.
Let's acknowledge that the current implementation of this philosophy reducess accessibility for people with visual impairments, like those with color blindness, and those with poor eyesight. Since the latter comes with age, Steve will come round eventually
The one thing that really stands in the way of editing presets via Computer is that you have to open the sides of the MRCC to access those files. As long as we can't solve that, using an editor would be inconvenient for desktop users, and impossible for rack users.
I found something called a Micro SD-Card Extender cable, there are various types. The flat cable might just fit in a gap between side and the case, maybe you need a washer so that everything is still tight. We'd also need to find a cable where the plug is short enough, and be careful to install it so that there is no force on the card slot itself.

One of them was that they had no screen, which would have made it much, much easier to use. But it conflicted with their notion of it being an 'instrument', and the screen conflicted with that ideal.
I have the smaller version (Nemo), and I agree 100%. One of the consequences of the missing display was the longest, and the worst user manual for a sequencer ever. No wonder Genoqs went out of business pretty fast.
Having a philosophy in the first place, and then sticking to it is great, updating your philosophy when feedback from the real world indicates your philosophy gets in your own way is also great.
