MIDI Designer Pro layout functionality is improved when controls can be preset to match the hardware settings. For hardware using SysEx control, you can build a SysEx scanner that queries individual parameter values or request a bulk dump. In either case, there is detailed work to code either the scanner values or the individual StreamByter decode messages.
midiDr.com/qa/6964 discusses how to build a scanner to query the individual parameters.
This spreadsheet auto-builds the necessary StreamByter code to decode a bulk message, hopefully simplifying use of the bulk dump approach.

Instructions are in the spreadsheet, including sample wrapper StreamByter code necessary to implement.
This is in Numbers format, as I develop on a Mac. I have no way to ensure that converting to Excel produces the same results.
