Re: BCReditor help...storing patches

Hi psionic11

> I'm not quite getting the results I expect when changing a script and then attempting to upload it to my BCF.  I'm using Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

Can't say as I am only an XP user on Windows, but I doubt it.

>The issue is with how to store that script as a patch, then upload that patch onto the BCF (BC with faders, if that makes any difference).

Not really

So your Midi connections are OK? The display whizzes around as you send the data?

yep

).  But it doesn't load the script into the BCF...?

The BC has an edit buffer. When a preset is selected with the <> keys or by Midi it is loaded into this edit buffer. 

This is now the current preset. 

If you load something from the PC editor into the BC it overwrites this buffer and so will function straight away, but if you select a different preset with the <> keys you will overwrite the edit buffer with this preset from memory and the script preset will be lost. 

If the script is not correctly downloading try....
On the Script page there is a sub-page "Save & Get"
On the right make sure the "Sysex Header Bytes" is either BCF or Universal
Under that there is a button called "Device ID" is that isn't "All" press the button and select "All"

In the script the first line for a BCF is "$rev F1" without the ""
and should finish with "$end"

When you press the send button (top right) the program should format the script and send it to the BCF. The BCF display should whizz around as the Midi is transmitted.

To save the preset in to a slot in the BCF ...
Once the script is in the BC edit buffer press STORE.
Use the <> keys to select what preset you will overwrite.
Press STORE again and it will be saved to the flash memory in the BC

If you are still having problems take a preset file from the groups file and try that.

Let me know if there are still problems.
