Using buttons on the BCR to change BCR Presets

Using buttons on the BCR to change BCR Presets

2010-11-20 by poser_p

Is it possible to assign buttons on the BCR to switch between random BCR presets? For instance, I press button A and I go to preset 27 on the BCR. Then when I press button B on preset 27 I go to preset 15, and so on. I presume I could do this if I could loop back the midi output of the BCR to the midi input, but it'd be nice if there was a way to do it without having to use a midi loop. Thanks!

Not as far as I know.
If you set up 2 encoders with the PC on the same channel then their values keep in step, but the BC won't change presets unless it receives an external PC message.
So you need to loop it back.

You could run a loop in MidiOx and put a filter in the link so only PC messages with the correct BC channel are passed back.

Thanks -- I kind of thought that might be the case. I wonder what the < and > buttons do internally.
