Just fired up the P2500 and tested the CCs (MidiM and MidiN) on a bts preset. Wish I had asked aaron for the btsvari formula.

It looks like BtsBusy determines which the number of triggers on, triggers being added or subtracted based on the formula aaron gave. The one I looked at had MidiM -> BtsBusy +100, with a DC BtsBusy offset of -60 [preset patchcords].

It looks like the BtsVari takes the number of triggers on and varies them based on the unknown formula. I seem to remember trying to make a table of which CC value would turn which triggers on based on a standardized set of preset patchcord destination values.

I seem to recall that with CCs (and a baseline patchcord configuration) you can determine which set of beats trigers will be on. I am guessing that the more sources routed to these features, the less control you will have when you send CCs to get the triggers you want.
