Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I'm trying to figure out a couple things in renoise.

1. Parameter feedback. Anyone get this to work?

2. I have a vst where one parameter is controlled logarithmically. The bcr outputs a 1 and the dial on the screen shifts to about a third of the way up. Is there any way to change the bcr's resolution so the encoder acts on a non-linear scale?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I should specify I'm on a Mac. I know there are a couple of solutions for PC.

If you know some JavaScript, you could use my midivent library to
write you an intermediate between the MIDI controller and your
Synth/VST.  I'm working on something similar for my DSI Tetra, but
that thing has grown rather big and is not (yet) open source.
midivent is available on github,
http://github.com/hanshuebner/midivent - Documentation is available at
http://vaxbusters.org/midivent/all.html -  The build process is a bit
involved, but I can make a MacOS binary available if there is any
interest.

From the manual, this is how MIDI ports are opened and messages are sent

var MIDI = require('MIDI');

var midiOutput = new MIDI.MIDIOutput();
console.log("opened MIDI output port", midiOutput.portName);

midiOutput.channel(3);              // Set output channel 3
midiOutput.controlChange(0, 10);    // Select bank 10 (CC0)
midiOutput.channel(4);              // Set output channel 4
midiOutput.controlChange(7, 80);    // Set volume to 80 (CC7)

and received:

var MIDI = require('MIDI');

var midiInput = new MIDI.MIDIInput();
console.log("opened MIDI input port", midiOutput.portName);

midiInput.on('noteOn',
             function (pitch, velocity, channel) {
                 console.log('note', MIDI.pitchToNote(pitch),
                             'velocity', velocity,
                             'channel', channel);
             });

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Cheers,
Hans
