Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

1. I want to send midi from pc to BCR, and the BCR button lights
respond by lighting up or turning off. I refer to buttons 33-48, set
to midi ch.15, cc's 56-71. All are 127(on), 0 (off), ~toggleoff
... so e.g.:
  .easypar CC 15 56 127 0 toggleoff
  .showvalue on
  .default 0

I thought I could just send cc15, val 127 on midi ch.15 to light up
the button. Am I wrong, confused, or likely to be missing some mistake
in my midi signal chain?

2. Is there any way to control the LCD - can I send midi (or ascii
style sysex) to the BCR and print to the 4 char. LCD?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

The toggleoff is your problem
Toggle off makes the button a momentary switch. When you release it it
turns 'off' so it doesn't have an 'on' state without you
pressing/holding down the button.

toggleon - 1st press is 'on' 2nd press is 'off'
This will light when you send $BE 56 127 and turn off with  $BE 56 0

No - sorry about the short answer

All the best

Thought you might have an answer. Thanks.

Should have guessed. Not a problem I can't circumvent for my needs though.

Ah, shame. I've been building a kind of automap for my BCR, and it
would have been nice to use that to display plugin name and controlled
parameter. Nevermind. I'll post it here once I've tested it properly
if anyone's interested (as opposed to releasing it into the wild
totally shoddy, as is my way).

Thanks again,
Matthew
