Re: new BCR Mackie Emu with 16 vPots uploaded!

2008-09-14 by stefan_soundstudies

hi kip,

thanks for your words, i'm happy that you like it.
It was not that much work, because you & mago and the other guys here
allready made the most of it!
and thanks to your sharing, i really had a very fast'kickstart' with
my bcr  ;)

of course you can upload the files and any of your modifications to 
your site, np  
(i'm not sure if i've allready been to your site, so please let me
know the link) 

i just have sighted another little mistake in my '2nd' version,
i'll correct that issue and the overlay and upload an updated version
these days.

if mago agrees, i'll include the overlay as illustrator file also, so
everybody may have easy 'finetuning' & personalisation of it.


currently i'm trying to push things up another level:
i try to program a 2nd display for the 2nd row of vpots...

i'm not sure if i'll be successful, but here is the idea:
in ableton we can have two remotes that have a display, one is the
mackie, the other is the novation remote sl.

if we tell ableton that we use both of them, then ableton sends
display infos for both.

since both of these remotes use the same controllers for some
different functions, there has to be some kind of 'midi
router'/splitter between bcr and live.

so all sent MIDI goes to the mackie, except the dPots CC and their
page select CC, that should go to the novation.

since both devices are more ore less 'hardcoded' in ableton to
transmit on ch 1, the router has to adress different MIDI ports to
make this work

i'll keep you updated, as soon a there is more progress.

cheers & have a nice sunday,
stefan
