Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Group!

I'm an advanced amateur ... and usually can work through the BFMs and
figure things out, but I'm stuck.

I did search the archives ... and found a few posts regarding
increment functions on the BCR2000. However, it looks like a lot of
this groups interest - programming sysex - is way over my head!

Using the 0.2beta3 editor I have tried various ways of programming the
buttons to function incrementally.

On another controller I have if I want to step through 5 things I set
the Max to 4 and the Min to 0 and the Step to 1. Presto!

On the BCR2000 one thing I don't understand is the 'Controller Option'
that shows up when you use the editor. I sort of figured that this was
like 'Step' in my other controller ... since I don't see something
similar. But if I set it up as Max 4/ Min 0 and Controller Option '1'
... nothing happens.

I've tried different combinations. Max 127/ Min 0 and Controller
Option '4' almost works ... but not quite.

Could anyone instruct me how to properly do this either on the editor
or manually (I do know how to use the edit button and contollers for
programming).

Thank you.

Bien

This is your problem. 
The Java editor just doesn't cover all the things the BCs can do. You
also can't program all the things that the BC's can do from the unit
itself.
Grab Mark's editor from the files section. 
It is for the Windows PC, but you should be able to get it going under
the Mac OS with a Windows emulator.

For you above example....
Follow Mark's instructions to set it up and it should detect the Units
connected.

Highlight the BC unit you want to program (you may only have one) and
press the 'P' (Preset) toolbar button.
On the next dialog that pops up press the <-> black and red dash
button to bring up the Buttons page
Highlight the button you are interested in and click the 'E' (edit) on
the toolbar of the button dialog that has just popped up.

Set 'Type' to the Midi message you want either using the 'Standard
output' or if you need sysex or multiple messages select 'Custom output'
Fill in the values that will appear, depending what 'Type' you select.
Lets say you select "Control Change'
Set the Channel and Controller number
Set 'value 1' to 0 (Min) and 'Value 2' to 4 (max) and  'Mode' to
"Increment" and 'Increment knob' to 1
Press OK and you are done for that button.
Send it to the BC

Hope this helps

Royce,

Thanks for your prompt reply ... will grab the editor and see if I can
work it out.
