Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Royce,

I finally got around to testing for fader resolution on the BCF.

I'm not quite sure how to answer, but - using your script - the 
output does cover the complete pitch bend range, 0 0 to 127 127 (all 
dec here).

Every point on the fader registers an identical value, whether you go 
fast to get there or not. Of course, if you go slower, more 
intermediate values are registered (as seen in MIDIOx). Going as 
slowly as possible, there is a low byte change of about 40-50 (dec); 
so certainly far more than simple high-byte values (128 of them) can 
be used, if desired.

Incidentally, I was frustrated at first - only to recall finally that 
I was using an old version (BCR only) of your editor. Of course, it 
wouldn't save a BCF script as text (or perhaps it was only failing to 
reload it - though the script couldn't be found I think), nor save 
sysex, nor transmit to my BCF. Thank goodness your more recent 
version does all these things.

Take care -
