How to make BC buttons send 14bit NRPN values?

2009-12-19 by psionic11

Hi, I've successfully gotten my BCF to send NRPN parameter value changes to my Micron using the knobs and faders, but I can't get the buttons to work...

I'd like to be able to use the BC buttons as incremental switches for Micron parameters that are "switch-type" rather than "continuous"... For example, the wavetype parameter has 0,1,2 for sine/saw/pulse.  I can easily set the knobs/faders using 14bit to increment these values, but when I choose a button that increments these values, nothing happens on the Micron.

I suspect that the Micron needs to hear NRPN 14bit resolution command changes to respond.  The buttons appear to only send up to 127, which is 7bit commands, correct?

I hit upon an idea to somehow use MIDI CC's 98 and 99, the NRPN LSB/MSB parameters, to somehow send the needed commands using several button presses.  Ideally, I'd like to set one button up to call up the parameter change (OSC1 wavetype), and then a second button above it to increment that value one at a time (cycling thru sin/saw/pulse/sin/saw...)

Is this possible?  Is there another workaround to get the buttons to transmit NRPNs?
