BCR 2000 and Oberheim Matrix6 : are there working presets?

BCR 2000 and Oberheim Matrix6 : are there working presets?

2014-06-24 by marcoemilio.lepido@...

Hi,


I bought a BCR2000 and I'm trying to use it in order to edit params on my Matrix6R; putting BCR2000 in Learn mode, in order to read MIDI messages from M1000X (Matrix editor OSX), does not work (BCR displays "bad" in response to any attempt to assign a parameter to its knobs...); I also tried to import a preset file in sysex format which I found uploaded to the files directory of this group (file name is "Matrix1000.syx"): again, it does't work (the preset is actually installed but my synth ignores all messages from BCR, except Midi NoteOn/Off coming from an external keyboard thru BCR itself).

Question is: is anybody out there who could help me with a working preset or any other solution?


Thank you!

Maybe the matrix1000 sysex file is only valid for the matrix1000 synth? Anyway I got a matrix1000 and I'm interested on this subject

SYX on M6 (and 6R) is slightly different from M1000. On M6 (and 6R), pressing panel buttons in PATCH EDIT mode and processing Remote Parameter Edit SYX commands share the same code base in firmware. Parameter editing only works in PATCH EDIT mode, so for remote editing, you have to mimic switching to PATCH EDIT mode. This is what the SYX command opcode = 5 (Select Quick Patch Edit) is for. So you simply send

$F0 $10 $06 $05 $F7

and then you can start sending parameter change commands. I think just one Select Quick Patch Edit is enough, but I don't have hardware to test this.

Margus

I was asked to convert a Matrix 1000 BC2k text file to a sysex file for an Apple user.
I'm not sure of the source. It could be Peter's.
Let me know and I'll add the credit to the files I put in the files section.

I changed it by adding default values to each of the controls as well as full initialising the preset.

All the best
