Tweaking Yamaha FB-01 with BCR2000

2010-07-07 by virteo

Hello everybody


I’m trying to program my BCR2000 to tweak Yamaha FB-01 sound generator.
FB-01 recognizes a sysex messages only.
To do my job I found a PC patch editor for FB-01 – I plugged FB-01 to my computer: it works well, no problem here.


To find what kind of sysex messages a PC patch editor sends to Yamaha, I observed a sent data of PC patch editor with the SysEx window of BC Editor.
I noticed that most of the time, the same Parameter N° is shared by two, three, or four orders: in my example, the parameter #57 is shared by “Sustain level” and “Release rate” orders.


The sent data looks like that:


In PC patch editor, I turn the “Sustain level” knob:

$F0 $43 $75 $0A $57(parameter #) $00 $00 $F7
--- --- --- --- $57 $00 $01 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $00 $02 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $00 $03 ---
I stop and I turn “Release rate” knob now:
--- --- --- --- $57 $01 $03 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $02 $03 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $03 $03 ---
I stop and I turn “Sustain level” knob again:
--- --- --- --- $57 $03 $04 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $03 $05 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $03 $06 ---
I stop and I turn “Release rate” knob again:
--- --- --- --- $57 $04 $06 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $05 $06 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $06 $06 ---
--- --- --- --- $57 $07 $06 ---
and so on…

Do you think that it is possible to reproduce the same orders with BCR2000?
Thank you for your help
