Sensible way to handle "patch chars" to sysex

[shooking]

Hi all

I hope we can open up the wiki? In the meantime I have a Zoom pedal.
It has a range of chars that can be set.
What's the best way to create a map so that the char can appear in a combo box say, and when you choose the index this is used to generate the value Zoom wants .. ie A = 65 is standard. But the order of the Zoom display is some circular buffer like:

A ==65
B == 66 etc etc

Looks like ASCII to me.

Super cool spot :-). I am so old I would have hoped I would have seen this -). So I start ar space and add offset to the combo index. Thanks. Would be cool to open up a wiki for sure.

initializePanel = function()

symbols = {	[0]="","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|","|",
