Control Edit

Clicking edit.png on any of the BCM Modules brings up a Control Edit window, allowing deep configuration of the handling of each available Control. The Control Edit panel displays settings for the control selected by clicking on its number, e.g:
Control-Edit-Choose.png
Two sets of parameters can be updated in the Control Edit panel, with different sets for Encoders vs. Buttons:
Control Settings
 Control-Edit-E.png and Control-Edit-B.png
 These settings determine the behaviour of the controls themselves, i.e. what MIDI messages are sent
Parameter Readout
 Control-Edit-D.png
 These settings determine what is displayed in the text box for each control
Controls have access to dedicated Preset Lists, over and above the Module Presets. The standard set are documented on the BCM Presets Page. These allow quick access to standard control configurations, e.g. Freq (Hz) or MIDI CC.

Encoder Control Settings

Setting
 Values
 Description
Val
 Min: See Min below
Max: See Max below
 Shows the current value within the specified control range that will be output from the associated control pad on the BCM module.
Can be adjusted manually or will update automatically when you move the selected encoder.
Curve
 0: Linear
1: Exp
2: Log
3: Exp Bi-Polar
4: Log Bi-Polar
 A curve can be assigned to the encoder. Values from 0-4 determine the shape of the curve.
Intensity
 Min: 2.000000
Max: 2147483647.000000
 Numerical value to 6dp, adjusting the intensity of the chosen curve.
Min
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the minimum value of the Encoder. Must be lower than the maximum value.
Max
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the maximum value of the Encoder. Must be higher than the minimum value.
Invert
 0: Normal
1: Inverted
 When set to 1 this inverts the control. A value of 0 gives normal operation.
Step
 Min: 1
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting step size for mouse control
MIDI Ctrl
 Min: 0
Max: 127

Encoder Parameter Readout

 Values
 Description
Val
 Min: See Min below
Max: See Max below
 Shows the current value within the specified control range that will be output from the associated control pad on the BCM module.
Curve
 0: Linear
1: Exp
2: Log
3: Exp Bi-Polar
4: Log Bi-Polar
 A curve can be assigned to the Readout. Values from 0-4 determine the shape of the curve.
Intensity
 Min: 2.000000
Max: 2147483647.000000
 Numerical value to 6dp, adjusting the intensity of the chosen curve.
Min
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the minimum value of the Readout. Must be lower than the maximum value.
Max
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the maximum value of the Readout. Must be higher than the minimum value.
Invert
 0: Normal
1: Inverted
 When set to 1 this inverts the Readout. A value of 0 gives normal operation.
Step
 Min: 1
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting step size for mouse control
Format
 printf Format String
 Sets the format of the Readout, e.g. '%1.2f Hz' can give a readout of '10.56 Hz'
MinControl
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the minimum Control Val to which the readout will respond. Below this point, the readout will invert.
MaxControl
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting the maximum Control Val to which the readout will respond.
strMin
 String (c. 8 chars visible)
 Assigns a Text String to be displayed at minimum value. (e.g. 'Left')
strMax
 String (c. 8 chars visible)
 Assigns a Text String to be displayed at maximum value. (e.g. 'Left')
strMid
 String (c. 8 chars visible)
 Assigns a Text String to be displayed at Control Midpoint. (e.g. 'Centre')
Offset
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Integer value, setting an Offset amount in relation to the Control Val to be calculated for the Readout.
Divisor
 Min: 1.000000
Max: 2147483647.000000
 Numerical value to 6dp, setting an amount by which the Control Val should be divided for the Readout.

Button Control Settings

N.B. Unlike Encoders, Buttons will only respond to and send out values between a Control range defined by Val1 & Val2. In other words, the CC ranges on your MIDI controller and settings for Val1 & Val2 need to match.

Setting
 Values
 Description
Selected
 Min: Val2
Max: Val1
 Shows the current value within the specified control range. Can be adjusted manually or will update automatically when you press the selected button.
Output Val
 Min: -2147483647
Max: 2147483647
 Shows the value for the selected point in the control range, which will be output from the associated control pad on the BCM module
Val1
 Min: 0
Max: 127
 Sets the maximum value of the control range
Val2
 Min: 0
Max: 127
 Sets the minimum value of the control range
Mode
 0: toFF (toggle off)
1: t on (toggle on)
2: InC (Increment)
 Sets the type of button to be used.
  • Mode 0 toggles, so holding the button down will send Val1 and releasing the button will send Val2.
  • Mode 1 latches the button, i.e. pushing and letting go of the button will change it between Val1 and Val2.
  • Mode 2 will send an incrementing value for each push of the button increasing by 1 starting at Val2 and ending at Val1 before looping back around to Val2.
