Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi,

I need a control surface that can send parameter adjustments via Sys Ex. I have a new Sequential Pro One MIDI mod I'm working on and using MIDIOX is getting old. Rumour has it that the BCx2000 can do it. I don't mind getting my hands dirty with hex codes and a soldering iron if I have to. ;-)

Please someone point me in the direction of how to accomplish this (I have Windows XP based PC's only). What tools do I need? Here is a sample packet that works for the midified Pro One:

F0 7D 23 22 06 00 var F7 

Where var would come from a rotary or fader value. Is it possible??

Also I need RPN 0,0 for setting the Pitch Bend Sensitivity (range).

Thanks!
GB

As Barack Obama would say: Yes they can!

To upload SysEx definitions to the BCF/R, you have to send certain text strings (embedded in SysEx messages) to the BCF/R. These text strings should be written in the BCF/R's language, called BCL.

The example you gave above would have to be sent as:
.tx $F0 $7D $23 $22 $06 $00 val $F7
So you were very close!
However, you need to send other text lines as well. It's quite complicated, actually.

For info on BCL, you may wish to consult Royce's SecretBC.pdf (under Files -> Documentation) and "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf" (available from my Mountain Utilities website at http://home.kpn.nl/~f2hmjvandenberg281/ ).

Depending on your taste, you can either use Royce's BCn2000 Script Editor (under Files -> Applications) to write the BCL text strings yourself, or you can use BC Manager (available from the Mountain Utilities website), which employs dialog boxes and hides most of the complicated underlying BCL from the user.

Hope this helps,
Mark.

Thanks! I guess there's HOPE for me.
