BCR2000 and V Amp Pro

BCR2000 and V Amp Pro

2007-05-01 by John

Hello all,

I need some help programming my BCR2000 to control a V Amp Pro.   What
I'm looking for is the MIDI messages that control the Amp bypass, the
Cabinet bypass, the Modulation FX bypass and the Delay FX bypass.  I
know you can use the CC numbers that Behringer provides, but with this
method you have to set a minimum and maximum value, so when you turn
off the bypass, the control changes to the maximum value, not your
previous value.  I would like to program behavior similar to the
Behringer's V Amp Software Editor which allows for a true A/B comparison.

I suspect that the V Amp is using NRPN's for these controls, but they
are not listed in the Manual.  Can anyone help?

Also, I'm new to this level of MIDI editing, so if you can keep it
simple, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

P.S.  Has anyone else had difficulty getting the V Amp Software Editor
to recognize a V Amp when it's connected through a BCR2000?  I
couldn't get it to work so I hooked my V Amp through another MIDI port
I have.  Maybe I was foolish to believe that two devices manufactured
by the same company would be compatible.  Any insights?

I couldn't get it to recognize the v-amp either through a BCR2000.  I
think it's an issue with the 1.1.1.1 driver for the bc series.  When I
have the BC's (1 bcr and 2 bcf's) running under the Behri driver, I
can't get them to play nicely with the BCedit software either.  With
XP's generic 'usb audio' drivers, they're better.  

I ended up having to put the V-amp (2 not pro) on a different MIDI
port as well (an maudio keyboard in my case) to get the editor
software to work, but it works like a charm this way.

I'm communicating with Behringer currently about this issue and some other V-Amp related stuff. First they told me to make sure the V-Amp's MIDI Thru was turned off. It was. I've written back and pressed the issue. I hooked an Alesis Midiverb 4 up through the BCR2000 and using a third party editing software (Powermidiverb4) was able to get the software to recognize the Midiverb. It may be a bug with the V-Amp Software Editor. I'll let you know what Behringer says when they contact me.
