bcf2000 configuration

Post by luca telleschi »

I'm trying using bcf2000 to control single channels and submasters,
in midi windows i can see detected midi value, but as i set the command as 1@%v it doesn't work. this is only for encoders and faders, for buttons it works (i've set one button for record and one for go)...
i've also tried to configure a nanokontrol, it works but only for the first channel of the controller, for other channel lx console doesn't detect any value..

For the BCF2000, you can configure the encoders and faders. If they appear using the Setup window's detect function, then they are set to control change. (The number shown will be 127 + CC)

But, the BCF2000 has some other parameters for the encoders and faders. You'll want to set these so that the minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 127 (Or, the other way around if the fader is to have a reversed effect)

You also want to make sure that the controller mode is set to Absolute. Any of the 14 bit modes probably will not work with LXConsole

I'm not sure what you are describing about the nanokontrol, LXConsole. Are you saying that if you set the MIDI channel for the nanokontrol to a new value, LXConsole no longer pays attention to messages? That would make sense because the MIDI channel of the controller must match the MIDI channel set in LXConsole's preferences. Are you changing the nanokontrol's MIDI channel using the Korg Kontrol Editor?

nanokontrol doesn't work becaus each fader has a different midi channel.. so only the first with address 1 works...
same problem with bcf.. somebody changes channel of each fader so first bank was on channel 1 but second bank as random channel.... i'm not so confident with midi.. it take a lot of time to understand which was the problem.. thank you for you reply.. great job with your software..

Korg Nanoctrl works allright.

If its set to its default values here's a working patch for 4x9 channels controlled by faders and 4x9 submasters controlled with knobs. Plus go stop, pause functions.

Rightclick and choose to download this link: http://www.distingo.nu/bilder/LXForum/B ... trl.lxmidi

In LxConsole you can then choose to import the Midisetting.

Under the menu called view youll find "setup" on top.
Click Midi in the setup options
And in the bottom of the Midisettings window you can choose to import the file youve downloaded.
That should work for a nanocontrol.
-
Then if you want to save it to its proper place I suggest you also choose to export the Midisetting. I think LXConsole will automatically suggest the correct folder for you.
-
After import your midisetting should look like in the picture below.

The nanokontrol has 4 scenes. Scene 4 seems to have the faders and encoders programmed into control change 8 and 11 respectively with each being on a separate MIDI channel. So fader 1 is CC8 on channel 1, fader 2 is CC8 on channel 2, etc.

LXConsole supports a single MIDI channel. So the nanokontrol's scene 4 is not too useful for controlling it. Only one of the fader/encoders will work, depending on the MIDI channel assigned in LXConsole's MIDI preferences.
