Re: Switch Encoder Off with Button

2010-03-08 by dna_soundsystems

Thanks Mark, especally youre comments helped a lot. I didn´t see at first Err14 message which wrong ".easypar off" message produces in my example.

I´ve read "Behringer´s Secret" pdf.
After that i think it should be possible to use a Button to control the value of a Encoder.

So if i Push a Button (example from ON to OFF) the chosen Encoder should also be OFF or produce a Zero output (like the Button)  on .easypar & .showvalue or something like that.

This should be possible with the .tx statements. I´am rigth???
If it´s possible can i route this Button to 4 Encoders at same time with .tx statements???


I know life could be easyer with BC Manager, but synce i have no win emu sofware my tools on Mac ATM are:
BC-Converter  -  convert text to sysex
Sysex Librarian  - Recieve and send Sysex Dumps to and from BCR
HEX Editor  -   to edit and inspect sysex files in Hexadecimal code
Should be enough to achieve .tx statements ???


Thanks so much... 
Cheers´Phil
