Re: How to make BC buttons send 14bit NRPN values?

2009-12-19 by psionic11

The Micron has tons of parameters, and I've already used up all my
faders and all 4 encoder groups on my BCF:

faders 1-8 ==> (filt1) freq, res, env amt, type, (filt2) ditto

encoder 1-8, grp1 ==> Env1 parameters (amp ADSR and slopes)

... grp2 ==> Env2 parameters (filt env ADSR and slopes)

... grp3 ==> (Osc1-3) waveform, waveshape, FM amt and type

... grp4 ==> (Osc1-3) level, balance, filter series (f1==>f2), filt2
offset



And still I yearn for more -- individual OSC detune, LFO knobs, OSC
sync, noise, FX parameters...  I did look over rpcfender's BCsecrets
pdf, and it looks like I *could* somehow use custom .tx commands to make
a button send 14 bit NRPNs, so I could have access to one-button
goodness like drive type, ENV loop, waveform and env slope selects...

I'm going to just splurge and buy a BCR to use with my BCF.  If anyone
still has hints on how to use BC buttons to send 14bit NRPN, or else why
the Micron only listens to the BC's continuous controls but ignores the
button 'switches', I'm still all ears.  Thanks.

Oh, btw, in case anyone else is trying this to control their Micron as
well, make sure you have the BC unit in standalone modes one or three
(S-1 or S-3), accessed by EDIT + STORE  + Encoder1...  I haven't gotten
any other modes to work, although I suspect a couple USB modes would
also work if you were to go THRU the computer back out to the BC and
continuing to the Micron.
