Re: [bc2000] Re: Can Bcf2000 control Roland Mks-80 and a Waldorf Microwave I ?

2009-06-25 by Tony Cappellini

I think the problem is that the MKS80 uses sysex to edit its paramerters.
The Sysex spec for the MKS80 is a monster, even if you're lucky enough to find one that's easy to read.
The BCR is extremely limited with sending sysex strings. I think each controller on the BCR is limited to 6 bytes, according th the BCR docs.

Hi,
is there anybody out there who is successfully editing the
Microwave I with the BCR2000?

I have started mith a MKS80. No prob at all. The MKS sends
out Data if u change the parameter on the Front Panel.
Just go in Learn Mode at the BCR2000 an record it.
But the Microwave doesn't send Data if u change parameter
at the front panel. U can see it at the LED of the BCR2000.
No signal.
If u program one encoder manual with CC Data and send it to
the Microwave... nothing happend.
Midi Chanel an Connections are OK, I am no newbie in connecting.
But if u change from CC Data to Pitch bend or Program Change the
Microwave Midi LED lits and it will be done. Only CC Data is
being ignored.Can someone help me?

I can't imagine that there no way it will work.
