Hi do you have a script/window for the BCR 2000 (rotary controls only)?
Also when adjusting for example x or y is there a fine/slow mode to make the adjustment more accurate?
Thanks,

Ian

@ redrhino:

there is no slow/fast or anything similar for the controls. Sorry.

@ AHlimon:

What do you want to learn? Do have a Midi Fadercontroller?

After programming the various faders on the BCF WD can store the association after switching off the BCF ?
Is there a way to move the faders on BCF moving a software fader of WD?

Many thanks, Alberto

Not sure what you mean by association.
You have to store the Midi Notes that every fader senden inside the BCF 2000.
Page 1-8 are preprogrammed so start on Page 9 that is where you can store your own stuff.

There is no easy way to do it (if at all), you will have to look at the midi protocol of the BCF2000 board and integrate that with nodes.

Hi Alberto,

the Fader in the BCF2000 window are just representing the state of the hardware fader. As this tool window is not a control, you can't move a hardware fader or generate values by moving the software faders...

Hi!

Providing MIDI data to the BCF and having it configured as receiver you can do whatever the BCF can do.

Only our tools window (or let's say "patch window") is only meant as a configuration panel and not for controlling the hardware.

Hi,

I'm having some problems with configuring communication with BCF 2000. Running WD on win 7.
I'm not fully clear about the step: "Program Fadepage 1" Is this referring to the 4 numbers with selection circles underneeth the Preset dropdown box?

When I try to follow all steps above, I end up in having 'some' communication with the BCF 2000, that is, after programming and learning, if I move fader 1 in the BCF 2000 editor, the fader on the BCF 2000 starts making noise and makes small up/down movements. It is as if the powered fader tries to move according to the slider on the BCF 2000 editor.
If I move the fader on the BCF 2000, say to 60%, then when I only touch the slider on the BCF 2000 editor, the BCF 2000's fader immediately is pulled to 0% position.

The other way round, there is no communication as it seems.

Yesterday, before finding this post, I had 2 sliders working but could not get it back to work after reopening PB and WD.
I also noticed that Msg. Status showed some numbers which is not the case anymore.

Thanks for helping out!

To the above I can add that testing with MIDI-OX shows midi activity in the Monitor - Output when I move the 2 faders I have programmed.
So my conclusion is that MIDI communication with the PC is functional.
