Why it is hidden that deep i dont know. but from there you can send commands
you type or commands from a text file etc.

Subject: [bc2000] Re: How to make BC buttons send 14bit NRPN values?

 

  

So how did you get on here?

 

The hint in these posts appears to be it is possible to send a 14 bit NPRN
with a button.

 

I have downloaded the BC Manager, and if I click on the  b33, I can indeed
setup normal NPRN (7bit) as one can from manually programming the BCR.

 

But no idea how / where to enter these .easypar or .tx command.

 

I took a quick look on this forum but couldnt find a "start here" tutorial.

 

 

Anyhow, in terms of the Miniak, I am now all too aware of the non-standard
things it does.

I have written my own editor for it, but want to use a BCR since I prefer
tactile controls.

 

The only "CC" buttons on the synth appear to be latch on/off. Most of the
other buttons do not send their midi, so no easy way to automate those.

 

So what I did instead was to map button b33 to the NRPN for F1 (43, 0 0 inc
1 so it just sends the 99/98 and a 0 06).

Map button b34 to F2 type (49 again with this 0 06).

Then I mapped b41 to CC 38, with a 20 -> 0 decr (I am still a noob at this,
but the incr/decr always seems to be wrong way around to me :-)).

And similarly b42 to CC38, with a 0 -> 20 inc.

 

So that one can press one of two buttons to choose between F1 type/F2 type.

And then one button to incr/one to decr.

This is non-ideal, but at least I can use some buttons to sort of control
some NPRNs with small ranges.

 

If you could point me to a noob doc on which software is easier to enter
these easypar/tx command I would be eternally grateful.

 

Since the synth ignores "out of range" values, I guess I could extend this
technique to the wave forms, unison voices etc leaving knobs available for
the 0 - 100 type ranges.

 

Bummer about the lack of -ve support.

or "continous" but only have 3 or 4 possible values, and step through them
with repeated button presses. I'm so stoked.
