Changing the preset on a BCR2000 from Max via sysex
the topic pretty much tells what I am trying to achieve. Since I stayed away from sysex so far I have still hard times to get my head around it, instead I was poking in the internet to see if I find some solution. I found one in the ableton forum that supposedly works and tried to put it into a max patch without understanding each single element of the sysex strings. However, it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know what's wrong?
no one any hint?
No BCR here to test with, but you have to convert the hex list to decimal first. Then I'd use [sxformat] to send the sysex messages.
thanks. i figured the hex-decimal mistake already after i posted here. I built my own converter since i couldn't find any object but I still didn't get it to work. when sent to the BCR you version produces the "Er22" error in the BCR display like many of my tries. I compared the lengths of your decimal string (85) with my hex (71) - why does your version have 14 more values?
" why does your version have 14 more values? "
Copy and paste error on my part
hm, this version gives at least an error message I haven't got so far - according to a pdf I downloaded it means:
Error 14
BC-EDIT identifier: wrongnumberofargs BC-EDIT message: wrong number of arguments
Meaning: Invalid number of arguments (too few or too many).
so it seems that the string length is a problem now but wasn't before?
the meaning of Err22 is:
Error 22
BC-EDIT identifier: sequence BC-EDIT message: sequence error
Meaning: Invalid message index.
Compare error 6.
Error 6
BC-EDIT identifier: missingrevision BC-EDIT message: missing revision
Meaning: No block defined.
This error occurs for a section selector, command or dot statement outside a block (i.e. when no $rev has been sent in the same message chain, or when $end has been sent after the last $rev in the same chain).
This error has precedence over error 13.
This error also occurs if you send $rev R1 with a correct BCL message index of 0, followed by
$preset with an incorrect BCL message index of 0 (should be 1).
I am still lost...
Hello,
I'm giving an input here...
I remember trying to use behringer beta software under OSX to import and export presets from the computer to the BCF2K and there was a kind of bug in the midi language.
I remember we had to download a midi file converter to clear this language interpretation error
If you are able to read french there are more infos on

thanks for the input, Hubert. i downloaded debehringer and will have to see if it is of use to me. however i am not trying to upload presets via sysex - I am looking for a way to change the presets on a BCR via sysex message - but maybe debehringer is still necessary for this...
I based my patch on infos from this thread in the ableton live forum: https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?t=46302 where someone seems to have figured it out. unfortunately the sysex files mentioned in the thread aren't online anymore. I could probably ask around there - just didn't expect this to become so complicated.
In case someone still wants to make it happen ...
Here it is.
thanks. looks great but doesn't work here (bcr with firmware 1.10). i tried all 4 USB and standalone modes on the bcr through usb and midi in. the red midi in leds light up when i send the sysex string but nothing happens afai can tell. but i also dont get any error message. i cant find anything in the manual about specifically opening the bcr for sysex or so. it should just work. still a mystery. hmm...
I've just found the solution for Pure Data: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&;t=143226&p=8201377#p8201377
so this select the first preset
[240 0 32 50 0 21 34 0 247( <-message
|
[midiout]
this the second... and so on...
240 0 32 50 0 21 34 1 247
