B-Control

Hello!

Im trying to learn BCR from Roland MC-09 but BCR just learn 7 parameters:

General Purpose Controller 1
General Purpose Controller 2
General Purpose Controller 3
Cutoff
Reso
Decay
And Volume

Remaining 4 parameters I programmed manually by studying the BCR architecture and MIDI implementation chart:

Modulation (which is also OSC vibrato depth which is in the menu I'm interested in)
Balance
Portamento
Pitch bend

I set the global setting so that I can use Edit/Store/Learn/Exit as programmable buttons instead of leaving them for manual programming usage.

Then... USB died.

Hi,

If I change the mode of an encoder to 14 bit absolute mode (push or non-push encoder), and then I upload the preset, it doesn't update the parameter to 14 bit.. As soon as I download the preset again from the bcr, the encoder will show up as in Absolute (= 7 bit) mode again. Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Every other change in the parameters uploads correctly..

It would be a really nice feature to have to be able to send more define values for certain applications.

Many thanks,

Misha

Dear Mark,

after having completed a first BCR2000 preset that I hope to post in the near future on your website (for the micro chiptune synth "YM2149") after some necessary tweaking, I designed a preset for the Akai AX73 synth (with Tauntek mod, which allows to pilot the synth with CC messages) which I now want to program with BC Manager. Of course when ready I'll post it here.

Hi,

Hi!.

On BCR2000 1.10 it is allowed to add .mode incval and .minmax after .easypar PC on buttons

[Might be a glitch because the firmware maybe doesn't return the setting]

so that plus/minus Program Changes can be done with the BCR ( cycle presets)



This allows for example Program Change Up/Down and Fixed Programs and showing the Nr in LCD (instead of off/on),

To act as Group [Active Program Number remains] always the same .easypar message must be used.

Hi!

I have a question regarding negative values in custom outputs.

I am sending sysex to a Roland S760.

To control TVF Freq:

$F0 $41 $00 $34 $12 $00 $08 $01 $18 val4.7 val0.3 cks-1 6 $F7

Works fine, with Value 1 set to 0 and Value 2 set to 127, as the S760 expects to see values from 0-127.

However for selecting the TVF type (01 16), the S760 needs to see values:

-1 Off

0 LPF

1 BPF

2 HPF

What are some methods users are applying to send these values?

Hi, I can´t make work my BCR with my DW6000, I have it fine with DW8000, but the template from here https://www.bwalk.com.au/DW6K/DW6k.html it doesn´t work. Any help? thanks in advance

Hello Mark,

Hope you are doing well!

I did not use my BCR for a long time.

Programming a VST again to the parameters.

I forgot 2 simple things...

1.when I make a preset in BCR manager how do I export that to BCR and save it? I ask because I select the preset midi row and use the midi send to send it, but it doenst work...will it always be sent to the corresponding preset on the BCR?

As a workaround I send the 32 presets with the send all data and that works great, but one day I will make a mistake, that is why I want to do it correctly.

Hi Mark,

It been a while! ;)

..But i have a new MIDI equipment: an Digital Music Corp MX-8 MIDI Patchbay. I want to control some of ìts internal parameters live with the BCR .

Looking at the Sysex appendix (the last 4 pages) of the MX-8 manual - do you think its possible to configure the BCR to control the Transpose parameter or any of these internal parameters? Or does this only work via sysex dump?

Thank you,
