Re: Beginners question: automate BCR control of (old) external sound modules

2012-12-10 by Royce

Hey Sjoerd

You can send a rebuild of the patch like
$rev R1
$encoder 33
.mode 1dot
.resolution 96 96 96 96
.minmax 0 127
.default $40
.tx $F0 $43 val $F7
$end

The .default will set the new value
But it won't be quick
The only other way is to have something to decode the sysex into CC, encode the CC to sysex and program the BC with CC messages using .easypar

Check out a vid I made showing how I connected a DW6000 to feed back patch data to the BCR

All the best

I'm having several legacy modules like the Proteus-1 (with orchestral expansion), a MKS-20, a DM5 drum module and a General Music RealExpander. All these modules have tiny vague LCD-screens and are hard to control manually especially when I'm working on my "music"desk, because they are a kind of tuck away in my setup to preserve working space. Thanks for any suggestion, help or pointing to previous discussions about this subject!
