Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Yes. :) I've used the Polaris with numerous MIDI controllers, and it will transmit & receive all of it's MIDI parameters. There's a MIDI Implementation Manual you can download, and it likely identifies the MIDI control numbers for the parameters you'll want to assign. Here it is... ;)  http://www.rhodeschroma.com/content/polaris/midimanual.pdf

Lando,

They should. I've never used a BCR2000 specifically, but like most other MIDI controllers it should transmit & receive the correct data once its knobs have been assigned. There are standards in MIDI, and all parameters usually have no more than 128 values max (0 through 127, or 1 trough 128). For instance...pull the Filter frequency cutoff slider all the way down...the current value is at 0. Pull it all the way up, and your value is now at 127. Parameters can have as few as 2 values if what you're controlling is a simple on/off switch, and others may have more, but not more than 128. Some controls, like bipolar faders, have values set between -64 to +63. But again, that's 128 steps to sweep through. The Polaris can send this data to a computer sequencer to record it, or to another Polaris to control its faders, etc. MIDI controllers receive this data too, so wherever a current value is, the LEDs should show it on the BCR2000.

Lando,

I'll revise...sorry the long explanation. lol. In short, I'm pretty sure you'll get parameter feedback from the Polaris though I'm not 100% certain.
