panning with a button?

panning with a button?

2015-01-04 by nick@1957.me.uk

I'm guessing several of you will be using the BCR2000 with ableton 
live, maybe you could help. 

I want to control the pan of a channel with as few buttons as 
possible. I prefer not to use a rotary, since I want quick access to
specific settings, left/centre/right 

I've assigned one button and this goes from hard left to hard right &
back. I've used another to centre it. Could I use a single button to 
go left, centre, right and back again? I realise this might be an 
ableton issue rather  than the BCR, let me know if this is totally 
off- topic!

If anyone is willing to swap ableton ideas on a one to one basis, 
that would be good.

You use the increment mode to go Left Center Right Left Center Right .....

If you have a range of 0 = left, 64 = center and 127 = right you can nearly do it.

If you set the range 127 to 0 (note the order is a bit strange, but increment doesn't work the other way around) you would think that you just need to increment by 64, but then you get 0, 64, 0 , 64 etc. because 128 = 0

You can either increment by 63 and get 0, 63, 126, 0, 63, 126 (left, nearly center and nearly right) or have a range of 127 to 1 and increment by 63. This gives you 1 , 64, 127, 1, 64,127 etc. (nearly left , center and right)

.easypar CC 1 10 127 1 increment 63

All the best

If you have max for live you can make a midi note cycle between 3 values mid right left., using a counter that counts to 3 and sends out midi messages each time it is triggered, I find that Max can solve many midi issues with bcr,
