BCR with jx8p (or other synth)- extracting "pot positions" from patch?

2016-03-27 by thunberg.jonas@...

Found an old thread here regarding how to get the BCR's lights to indicate the values of their controlled parameters as a new patch is loaded. As I understood it, the synth would communicate this information in sysex, but the BCR would need to get it in CC, so you would need to a have a computer as an interface in between, with some kind of software running that would "translate" the message.

Anyone tried this? I don't know anything of how this would actually be done, however considering it is only about 40 parameters, it does not seem like it would be very difficult, if you knew the formatting of the synths sysex and the formatting of CC messages?

And it seems really inconvenient to have a laptop just for "translation", perhaps it would be possible to program an arduino or other microprocessor, if it's possible to solder midi ins and outs on one?
