So are you sorted now?
Were you able to get the BC & synth to work as you wanted them too?

It is likely that there is a system exclusive message that will also change the PB range. Depends on the synth.

The BC can't modify Midi data in a useful sense (you can use PC messages to output a different Midi but it is pretty limited)
You would usually use a PC and a program like MidiOx

Hi Royce, and thank you for answering.

I want to do that without using any software, just the Keyboard, the BCR2000 and the Synth (DSI Mopho).

The problem is that I don't know how to send a NRPN value with Pitch Wheel up and a different value with the Pitch Wheel down with BC Manager. Furthermore, the two message (PW & NRPN) have to be send at once.

Cheers,

Alex

So you want to bend up a tone, but bend down an octave.

On some synth there is a PB setting for pitch up and another for Pitch down but not on the Morpho.
To get a split control you need to set the bend range on the Mopho before you bend.

There is no way you can trigger an extra Midi event with the PB message using the BC.

You can get the BC to output the NRPN values 
eg using a BC button - + 12 range leaving the light on,
Press it again and it is +2 semitones and the LED on teh BC is off.

You can have the switch as a momentary button ie 12 when down 2 when up, but you need one hand on the BC, one on the keyboard and the third on the PB wheel.

You can use the pedal socket instead to plug in a foot switch. Like a sustain pedal but swapping between 12 ans 2 ,

Or you can have 2 buttons +12 and 2

Hope this helps
