Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

It has just occurred to me that I have a TG33 tucked away in a cupboard.
The TG33 is a desktop version of the SY22.
So who knows, perhaps this is the next unit for treatment.

  Hey Royce do you think the TQ5 would have similar SYs Exs to the SY22? I have one and if you could do the same as the DW6000 that would be BRILLIANT.

   It is, but I don't have one to test it on.
   
   I have just taken out a Yamaha TQ5 from the cupboard and thought O might try that.
   This should work for most of the 4 op FM synths.
   
   All the best

    Is it possible to tweak this for the DW-8000?

    Thanks for a great program. Tried it today after watching the video and it worked within 1 minute of turning on the BCR and me not knowing what I was doing. 
    This has taken the synth to a new level. I now have immediate control like my other knobby synths. I don't have to think what I am doing now. Just turn any knob for a random unknown effect. 
    Thanks heaps Royce.

     After previous discussion about the BCR controlling a Crumar Bit01 synth 
     I decided that I would write a program that I have been thinking about 
     for a while. 
     
     The BC2k gear can do most things, but there are three areas that it 
     misses out on. 
     
     1) You can't use negative numbers. 
     Well this is partially solved for smaller ranges (eg -7 to 7 is OK), 
     but it is complicated and using 14 bit or greater is not possible (a lot 
     of Emu stuff uses these large ranges). 
     
     2) You can't access other control values. 
     Some older synths have packed data. For instance the oscillator might 
     have the waveform selection in the lower 4 bits (val03) and the octave 
     only needs 2 bits. 
     So roll the 2 bits 4 places to the left and add the waveform value to 
     make up the single byte to save memory. 
     The Korg Dw6000 does this. 
     
     3) You can't use a sysex value to set the value of a control. 
     So the BC can't be synced to the synth. 
     So if you change a patch on the synth, one, you can't see the new value 
     in the LED rings and two, moving a control usually makes the value jump. 
     Not too good for live filter sweeps. 
     
     With the Korg negative numbers are not a problem but byte packing and 
     BCR syncing are. 
     So the PC program is a bridge between the BCR and the DW6k. 
     It converts CC messages from the BCR and outputs sysex parameters to the 
     Korg. 
     It requests patch data and sends a full set of CC messages to the BCR to 
     keep it in sync. 
     It all worked so well that it has given the old Korg a new lease of 
     life. I even added a random patch generator.

     Let me know what you think.
