BCR2000 and Evolver

I asked the same question at DSI section in this forum. So, Is it possible to use the BCR 2000 buttons to send program changes to a Mono Evolver Synth?
For example can I set a button at BCR2000 to play bank B, program 12 at the Evolver?

If so, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Sorry for double post. I did that because i know is not everybody that reads all the sections of the forum and because is related with 2 different devices (BCR2000 and Evolver). Anyway I will not do it again. I understood the message.

I did read the manual of both units and unfortunately i could not figure out how to do it (probably because I am dumb), that is why i asked here.

Is too bad i don't have enough technical knowledge about MIDI like the most of people have here in this forum. Once again, sorry.

All the best.

The BCR2000 manual describes fairly well how to send program change messages (type = PC). Just try it out. Smile

Thanks a lot Stefan

I will carefully read one more time the BCR 2000 manual. If I figure out I will let you guys now.

Hmm, maybe it isn't that clear. Anyway, here's what you do:

Hold down edit and push a button.
Turn the Type knob until "PC" shows on the display
select the bank for this button on val1
select the program number on val2

If you want to put it on a knob, select a bank and the knob will select the program as you turn it.

In my manual there is a big table on page 14 that describes the different settings for the knobs and buttons.

The good thing about simple questions like these is that guys like me can jump in and feel clever. Wink

One more time, thanks a lot Stefan

I will try to make the set tonight. So according to your explanation, if I understood well, I don't need to make any settings at Evolver? (beside the basic ones like same choose the midi channel as the BCR2000, midi receive enabled, etc.)

Maybe it will be easier than I expect, the problem is, somehow I put in my mind that what I wanted need more skills and a good knowledge about MIDI messages (something I definitely not have). I hope I was wrong.

On time, I will let you know if it works or not.

Best regards
