BCR: Any way to get pitch bends from 0-127 instead of 1-127 on the encoder pots?

2007-05-04 by muffmck

Hi all--

I'm using a BCR to control RME's totalmix software on an RME fireface
800.  This responds to Mackie Control, so I'm using a slightly
modified version of the mackie emulation (for logic, from Japan) 

It uses pitch bends to control the volume sliders in the RME applet,
but the range only goes from 1-127. This leaves the sliders at -56dB
instead of all the way off when bringing down a channel fader.  I
suspect if I could set the min value to zero, this would solve the
issue, but:

1) I can't manually program the BCR to do this (min val =1)

2) I can't use the BCedit to do this (also only goes to 1)

3) I can't get the birdie editor to work

4) I can't get the other editor to work either.  Sorry, name escapes me.

Does anybody know if there's a trick to doing this, or if pitch bends
are just limited to 1-127 and I didn't know it?  (this is possible, I
am pretty ignorant of these things).

BTW, BCF units in mackie emulation mode work perfectly with Totalmix,
so it doesn't appear to be a limitation of the RME software.  Also,
trying to use the 'learn' command on the BCR going from the BCF in
Mackie Mode to the BCR throws a 'bAd' error on the BCR.

Thanks!
