Re: BCR2000 with TR-626 as step sequencer

2010-12-03 by Alan

Hi Royce,

I didn't want to ask you directly as I realise I've already had a lot of help from you, but thanks for chipping in here.

I'll have a go at retrieving sysex messages from the buttons. I'm slightly stumped by the same old problem of being a Mac user and not being able to run MidiOx. I can't remember if I sent you sysex info previously. If so, I must have managed with other software. I'll see what I can come up with.

I hope there are a few other members interested in this thread, as it really does sound like a valuable extension of the BCR's utilities.

Cheers for now,
Alan

It sends out a separate midi note number for each drum sound and it's patterns can be tweaked, on the fly, in a live context. The only trouble is that the assignment of midi note numbers to drum sounds is a mind-numbingly tedious programming task that cannot be performed live.
