New here - props and a question

2008-04-04 by toorglick

Greetings all! 

I'd like to that the forum creator, the members here and especially 
the folks who put together the BC script guides and the fellow who 
wrote BC Manager - the latter being incredibly useful and, I may say, 
generous!

Reason?  I love the BCR.  I've had mind for a week and I think 
without all of you I'd be banging my head against the wall.  Instead, 
I have those giggly "AHA!" moments that are what we all dream to have 
when we buy a new piece of gear (as opposed to the aforementioned 
head-banged-against-wall moments).

Anyway, the situation is thus:  I'm nearly finished with my preset 
for a Roland MKS-50.  In fact the preset is fundamentally finished 
and soon I will make an overlay (all of which I will zip up and 
upload to the file section when completed).  However, I'm trying to 
refine it so all but patch-level parameters are in the same group. 

In other words, I want to have all tone-level programming parameters 
available with group one, and then have group two contain the 
extras.  There are only THREE (3) parameters from the tone-level that 
I have to put in group 3 and if I could figure out how to make 
buttons increment I could move those out of group 3 and into group 1.

The only way to do this is via EASYPAR.  However, I haven't yet found 
a breakdown of EASYPAR that at least makes sense - the syntax, 
variables, etc.

I believe the syntax is EASYPAR {mode} {MIDI ch} {para #} {range low} 
{range high} {variable} - yes?

I can't get this to work as outlined in the Secrets PDF when using it 
on the MKS.  There are no MIDI-relative parameter numbers for tone-
editing.  Like, for example, to cycle through the wave shapes.

Did I miss a memo on EASYPAR, or am I pushing the BCR a little to far 
trying to make buttons increment in a sysex-only device?

Thanks!
Rich
