(For instance, an encoder with Value 1 = 51 and Value 2 = 52 works correctly with Remove Chromatic Aberration.) So your BCR button or encoder definition must comply with this. Develop -> Lens Corrections -> Remove Chromatic Aberration), MIDI values 0-50 cause the switch to go ON, and above that (51-127) the odd values lead to OFF and the even values to ON.
However, I've noticed that for at least one particular parameter this doesn't quite work: Develop -> Basic -> Temp parameter has a wider range (2000-50000) than what is covered by 0-127 (3000-9000).įor the on-off Lr parameters (switches) that I've tried (e.g. Usually 0 then corresponds with the Lr parameter's minimum and 127 with the maximum. In general, the BCR's buttons and encoders overlap in functionality only partially.īut in the context of MIDI2LR the answer is basically yes.įor use with MIDI2LR, the encoder's Mode parameter should always be set to Absolute.įor Lightroom parameters having a multi-value range (like Develop -> Basic -> Contrast), an encoder's Value 1 and Value 2 should normally be set to 0 and 127 respectively. "Can a encoder be programmed to work like a button?" In particular, it is important to realize that after uploading a memory preset to the BCR, BC Manager restores the temporary preset to its original state, as discussed in question 42 in section 33. See the BC Manager manual: section 7 (Tutorials), and questions 8, 40, 41 and 42 in section 33 (FAQ). You should be aware of several differences between the behavior of the temporary preset ("preset 0") and the memory presets (1-32). What's wrong?Īre you sending your encoder definitions to the BCR correctly? The still astonishing fact was that my encoders still did run from Value 0 up to 127, no matter what I defined for Value 2. What's wrong?Īnd the more general question "Can a encoder be programmed to work like a button?" To get a button, I tried different things and set an encoder to CC # Value 1 = 127 Value 2 = 0, then Value 1 = 0 Value 2 =1, then Value 1 = 0 and Value 2 = 0 and changed the Mode with all options: Absolute - Relative. So the encoder has 127 steps to go. Buttons are defined as 1 CC Nr Value 1 = 127 Value 2 = 0 Mode = Toggle Off and so working toggle on/off.
Encoders are defined as Channel # (preset #) Controller # Value 1 = 0 Value 2 = 127 Mode = Absolute.

In combination with the Midi2LR software I only can use CC options. Nearly endless possibilities and it all works really greatīut nevertheless on some presets I need more buttons than encoders and would like to define some of the single-use encoders to work as a button (toggle on / toggle off) for the reason, that I don't have to change presets. That's quite something and of course I always can define a new preset. The BCR2000 has 32 possible presets, on each preset you can define 4x8 (four buttons to choose the layout for 8 Encoders)+3x8 (three rows of 8 encoders)= 56 Encoders and 4x8 (multi use)+2x8 (single use)+8 (single use)= 56 Buttons. Hi, I'm using a BCR2000, the Mountain Utilities for the commands and Midi2LR to transform those into Lightroom commands.
