A handy feature could be that we could set parameters of a certain type all at once to their default state followed by a global parameter send. This would give us the opportunity to create a **patch initialisation**.

For this to work it would need a function  
**parameterMap.resetAll (default,PT\_SYSEX)** that would then reset all sysex parameters to its default value.  
Then we should be able to use  
**parameterMap.send (deviceId, parameterType, all)** to send them all.
