How to setup a Behringer BCR2000 to control the MicroKorg parameters (Part 2 of 2)

I set up a BCR2000 to control most of the parameters of a MicroKorg.

I spent quite a while considering how to lay it out best, and tried to explain it all clearly! Hope it makes sense!

I'd love to find a way to send all the MIDI CC values from the MicroKorg to the BCR2000 each time you change the preset on the MicroKorg. Let me know if you find a way to do this (via a Data Dump or something)! Post me a comment here or on my blog at www.punknewwave.com if you know how to do it. That'd be magic!

@abstractbrainscans Haha. Easy tiger!

Do you mean it just doesn't recognise that it's plugged in at all?

Or that you can't assign knobs to things in Fruity Loops?

Or you can assign knobs, but they don't behave as expected?

Have you used other controllers successfully with Fruity Loops, or is this the first one you've tried?

I wonder if you might be best off trying to use it as a pure MIDI controller (using the MIDI OUT port), rather than the USB connection. Could be worth a try.

This is in my old kitchen. This video gets more nostalgic each time I return here.  Which is a good thing. Because other than nostalgia, I swear I'm just blathering random numbers, and squelching out random noises. :>

I am trying to use the bcr2000 with resolume and modul8 but when I try to midi map it none of the buttons and knobs work I use a MacBook do you know how I can get it working my other midi controller works with the software just not the bcr

Cheers

@1shop

Make sure you have it set to the appropriate Operating Mode. You can set them to Stand Alone or USB, etc. Each different mode changes how the MIDI and USB ports work. So make sure you have it set on the right one for what you're trying to do.

nice work, i have a idea how to program my jd990 now thanks.

@atommachine No worries man. You can download BCFREdit (a free editor for editing settings for the BCR2000), which is great if you want to make quite a few changes at once. There's a link to it, and more info all at the link that's included in my video description. Rock.

@nnniiiccckkkooo You'll need to look in the MicroKorg XL manual to see the page for MIDI Implementation. I did look it up once, out of curiosity, and the CC numbers are different from the original MicroKorg. You you'd need to assign the correct numbers for each parameter, but the rest of the settings should be the same, I'd imagine.
