Confused

Confused

2013-02-28 by David

Hello,
I have downloaded and tried to use "BC Manager" and came away more confused than when I started. I am, and let me make this clear, A TOTAL IDIOT when it comes to midi! I do not need another manual, I need some simple assitance. I am trying to map my first encoder (still) with the filter cutoff for my Korg Prophecy. The Korg Prophecy has two filters and i just need to map the first one for now, however, I do not know the parameter number for the cutoff which i believe is a nrpn (i don't even know what that means. I think if I have that parameter number i will be able to adjust the cutoff to my hearts desire. Can anyone give me assistance other than reading another manual?
When I have this figured out I will upload my templates fro the Prophecy and contribute to the software developers...
In short, I will be content.
Thanks in advance,
David

OK
The sysex message you need for the Cutoff frequency

Parameter 271, value range 0 to 99

Sysex $F0 $42 $3g $41 $41 $01 $15 $02 val0.6 val7.13 $F7
$ means hex number
g = Global ID
val0.6 is the LSB (Least Significant 7 bit Byte)
val7.13 is the MSB (Most Significant Byte)


The BC code

$encoder 1
  .showvalue on
  .mode 1dot
  .default 0
  .minmax 0 99
  .resolution 96 96 96 96
  .tx $F0 $42 $3g $41 $41 $01 $15 $02 val0.6 val7.13 $F7

You need to be able to get around this editor to do what you want to do with sysex. I think my editor (in the files section) would be much harder.

To do simple things is simple, what you are trying to doing is somewhat advanced.
It is rewarding to build these BC presets for hardware synths, but you will need to put the time in learning what you need to know to do it.

I grabbed the user manual from Korg US (I don't have a Prophecy) and the sysex  messages are in the back of the Parameter Guide.

If you want to use NRPN (non-registered parameter numbers) , and this might be a better way, then you search for it and let me know what page this is on in the manual and I'll try to help.


All the best

Royce,
You were right in saying "simple things are simple"...I have no clue what to do with that information...lol,
I think i should learn MIDI perhaps? Or is there a way to have the BC manager learn what i want it to do?
I have my BCR2000 set up with the Korg and on the page where the filter cutoff is located and I press learn while turning the first encoder, then i adjust the filter cutoff on the Korg and it says "Good" on the BCR2000, and it does change the cutoff on the Korg...But the values are 0 to 127 when they are supposed to be 0 to 99...I try to adjust the values but the BCR does not show them unless I select CC. I select CC and then I can adjust the minimum value and the maximum value and then the encoder works...until i try to program the encoder next to it...same procedure except when you turn one encoder they both turn...so I try too enter the parameter 271 in the par encoder (3rd encoder) but the values only go up to 127...am I at least headed in the right direction (for someone who does not know midi) to go, or do I really NEED a program like the BCmanager?
Maybe its just wishful thinking.
Let me know if you have any advice and tips to learn what i need to learn, I am going to use the BCR2000 just for synths like the Korg Prophecy.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
and if its time to learn midi, well...I hope I am up to the challenge.
David
