Unless your Shruthi is on the other side of your studio from your sequencer. When I am using an external editor with my Shruthi, I do reach out and press the button to put it on the proper page. That last method is used by Arturia on the Brute series.
If you wanted to remember your patch parameters on any vintage synthesizer, you either remember it, took a picture, or wrote it on an included patch card. Both of these are very recent implementations.
Great for when I want to tweak a few important parameters. I also like the BSII way of having two LEDs that indicate if the new value is above, below, or at the saved value.
That is only one hardware synth out of thousands. Moog is perhaps the closest with their external computer editor and knob tracking for live playing so no parameter suddenly “jumps” on the Sub 37. >in my short experience… the UX and interface is really substandardĭo you mean all hardware synthesizers or just the Shruthi? If you are comparing it to other hardware synthesizers, which ones?įor the most part, even a knob-laden synthesizer will not be able to send all the proper data to an external source. Not to mention it works perfectly with a BCR2000. Or get really glitchy if you send a ton of sequencing data all at once. It will gladly display the edited and sequenced parameters when you play back a sequence with it in “program” mode. but i also included a template version for standard shruthis without a highpass filter.Īnyway, i thought there might some bcr2000 owners among you who might find this useful to give you even better control over your You want a JX-8P. since the bcr has only 32 encoders (8 of which can be mapped with 4 different parameters in 4 “encoder groups”) one of the shruthi’s standard 32 cc parameters had to move to the second “encoder group”. i wanted my bcr to give me access also to the highpass filter cutoff frequency of my ssm2044 shruthi, so i decided to always use midi cc #16 (“cc A” in the modulation matrix) for cv1 (hp filter cutoff frequency) and have that cc parameter controlled by a knob right next to the one for the lp cutoff frequency. The way i mapped them may not be the most obvious one, at least in the mixer section. i also included a readme file which describes how the shruthi’s 32 cc parameters are mapped onto the bcr’s 32 knobs. syx files which you can play to your bcr. and store this on the BCR.Ok, here is the link to the bcr templates: Transmit this file to the BCR2000 using Midi Ox etc. (Note: Apparently combinations using 15 can be used too but that's probably only useful with 14 bit controllers) Modify this to read 96 192 384 768 (you'll have to insert characters in order for this to fit) instead of 96 96 96 96 Now do this for the other encoders you want to accelerate. towards the end of the other details relating to that encoder.
There is a 'find' tool within XVI32 thankfully!įind 'resolution 96 96 96 96' within the parameters relating to your encoder number - i.e. if you want to do this to encoder 35, then hunt for 'encoder 35' within the text. Look down the ASCII text side of the screen within the sysex data for the encoder name you want to modify. Open it up with a Hexidecimal editor like XVI32 (which is freeware). Save this sysex bulk dump (probably in the region of 15000 bytes). (To send it, hold down edit and press preset -> on the BCR) Use Midi-Ox or equivalent to capture a sysex bulk dump of the preset on your BCR2000 you want to modify. Hope this helps whoever needs it and thanks again to the original poster, amazing nugget of info. It is a bit tech but not really too involved and well worth the effort for the response you get from the encoders once you make those adjustments,
I give full credit to whoever originally posted this on the forum, I just figured I should re-post as I had to go through pages and pages of the forum to finally find it. I found them a little slow on the pick up so have resolved the issue. This is info for all that are looking for snappier response from thier BCR 2000 rotary pots for those quick automation moments.
