Re: can push of push encoder send val of encoder portion via tx?

2009-02-11 by especht590

Thank you for the quick reply, Royce.  However the link to Mark's 
document doesn't work - and it looks like the file isn't available in 
the Documentation section or on his web site.  If you know where I 
can find that, I'd appreciate it.  (I searched and couldn't find it.)

Also, I was thinking that maybe what I'm trying to do can be 
accomplished by having a piece of software in beween my BCR2000 and 
Nuendo.  I know there are lots of apps that will receive one MIDI 
message and in turn transmit something different.  Do you know if any 
(perhaps MidiOX?) allow you to store a value transmitted to it into a 
variable and then when another message is received (from a different 
button) it could send the value of the variable?

Thanks again,

Erich
