Re: Can BCR2000 send NRPN values 16284-100 (via 0) rather than 100-16284?

I tried to make a trick the past few months while i was trying to find
a way to control the alesis micron...I found out that it respondes to
a standar CC command but you have to push a button first containing the
nprn you yant to change...so with one encoder you can change the
parameter assigned to the latest pressed button...
...so i was looking for something easier,but thank you for your
reply...sorry for my bad English,
Sakis
