Yeah I had seen the flash videos. I had already found the editor (and gui editor).
I am a "sql" optimizer man, so scripts are cool. GUIs are nice too :-).
Anyhow, I couldnt work out the information Royce had given Psionic in the above post.
But thanks to you, and specifically your manual, it slowly begins to make sense.
Most awesome, in your software tools, is the BCManager -> View -> MIDI -> Input Messages (general), that also has a kinky shortcut.
With that, and realization that the green triangle (on BCL editor) is a "set noexec on" type command, means that when I pressed the green left hand midi symbol, and then pressed the appropriate button on BCR (having first selected Record from your MIDI input) meant I could see why I had written a buggy scripts.
But, a few short clicks later, and tho -- it was good.
And a USB-3 => S-3 later, my Miniak was indeed properly processing NRPN address 43 (F1), values range 0-20 NRPNs from a button.
One goes up, one goes down :-).
For fellow Miniak/Micron/Ion users who didnt get the earlier post, you can do the following from the BCL Editor. NOTE I dont doubt there are more optimal ways to achieve this, but I am still reading the manual.
$rev R1 ; Firmware 1.10; BC Manager 2.3.1$button 39.easypar NRPN 1 43 20 1 increment 1.mode incval 1.minmax 0 20.showvalue on.tx $B0 99 0.tx $B0 98 43.tx $B0 6 0.tx $B0 38 val$end$rev R1 ; Firmware 1.10; BC Manager 2.3.1$button 47.easypar NRPN 1 43 1 20 increment 1.mode incval -1.minmax 0 20.showvalue on.tx $B0 99 0.tx $B0 98 43.tx $B0 6 0.tx $B0 38 val$end
I suspect I probably should have done an easypar of 20 1 increment -1 and then I can ignore the .incval
Or even 20 0 increment -1. Lots of playing for me here :-).
NOTE: the essence of this button mapping it to associate the 7 bit MSB NPRN value, with the 7bit LSB NRPN value.
I thnk Royce, Mark and a host of Germans (who wrote the original site) from the bottom of my heart.
And I wonder why, given this is so flexible, Behringer didnt say "you can send either the MSB or LSB of the NRPN!", cos you can.
Now to try to get more creative with this toolset. Sorry for the noob questions; I guess we all gotta start somewhere :-).
This "offset" mode for the relative NRPNs intrigues me ...
Dank u wel!!
Tot ziens

PS liked your PhD thesis. Now that I will have to re-read a few times because you put the math and music together and I get excited :-)
