Hi all,
I would like to configure the Slim Phatty Arpeggiator Clock Rate to one of my BCR2000 encoders but I get a strange behavior and I need your help again. Thanks in advance.
First of all this is what manual says:
"The Arpeggiator Clock Rate is set by two MIDI CC messages that correspond to coarse and fine clock rates. The coarse rate is set by CC#04 in increments of 3 BPM over a range of 21-320 BPM, and the fine rate is set by CC#36 in increments of 0.1 BPM. To set the clock rate, first set the coarse rate by dividing the target BPM by three; the integer result (the whole number) will be the CC#04 value. Then set the fine clock rate by subtracting the coarse BPM value from the target value and multiplying the result by 10. This will be the CC#36 value.
For example, to set the Arpeggiator Clock Rate to 121.7 BPM:
Determine the MIDI CC coarse value by dividing the target BPM by 3:
121.7/3 = 40.566
The CC#04 value is ‘40’ (=120 BPM)
Determine the MIDI CC fine value by subtracting the coarse BPM value from the target value:
121.7 - 120 = 1.7
Then multiply the result by 10:
1.7 * 10 = 17
The CC#36 value is ‘17’
For CC#04 = 40 and CC#36 = 17, the Slim Phatty’s display will show ‘121.7 BPM’."
After assigning the CC#04 in absolute (14-bits) mode and with a resolution of 96 for testing every value, this is what I get: (I only tested the first 640 values)
Values BPM
0-494 ---> 20.0
495 ---> 20.1
.
.
511 ---> 21.7
512-592 ---> 20.0
593 ---> 20.1
.
.
639 ---> 24.7
640 ---> 20.0
Could somebody tell me how should I set this encoder in BC Manager to get the full range, from 20.0 to 320.0 BPM, without these jumps and gaps?
Thank you so much in advance.
