New Noob...questions re setup and using with MKS-50 etch

New Noob...questions re setup and using with MKS-50 etch

2016-10-11 by caverhill2004@...

Hello.


I have just gotten the BCR2000 to hopefully use with my MKS-50 as well as my soft synths, DAW, etc.


I am not sure, looking at the manual, how to incorporate it in my system.


I have a MIDI patchbay and was hoping to add the BCR there via MIDI in and Out (A?). What mode should I put the BCR in that would enable me to use it with all my gear, depending on (non USB) patchbay configurartion. I would also like to not use the USB on the BCR if I don't need to.


FYI I have my computer and main controller synth keyboard hooked up via ins & outs to the MIDI patchbay. Ultimately I will hope to play the MKS from directly from the Keyboard and also via the computer/DAW and Keyboard. I assume for the direct keyboard route I would have to have the Keyboard and BCR Merged in the Patchbay?


Thanks!

I found S2 mode gets a connecton between keyboard, BCR, and MKS via patchbay. I even got a knob to learn something (I believe it was the function in MKS that aftertouch was controlling.

The way it is hooked up/patched now moving knobs on BCR, and playing key on keyboard are both being recieved by MKS but seems BCR isn't getting anything back from MKS via front panel editing in learn mode on BCR.

Is it possible for the BCR to 'learn' changes that are made from the MKS front panel? If it is then perhaps I have change way MIDI ins/outs are ordered in patch bay?

The way MIDI patch is currently assigned is Control Keyboard Out is going to BCR In and BCR Out 1 is going to MKS in.

Hi Stephen,

I did try S3 but it seems to have less results than S2. I can give it a shot again though.

Do you know if i should be able to get BCR to "learn" as I make changes from front panel of the MKS?

I didn't realize I have to turn on 'Transmit' within the MKS50 tones but even after doing that nothing registered on the BCR.
