BCR2000 Volume Meter (Beta 2 for OSX)

hoffman2k · Post by **hoffman2k** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 12:00 pm

We have created a plugin that allows you to use the LED's on the BCR as a volume meter. The plugin communicates with an application that connects to your BCR or BCF. You can have up to 16 of these plugins in a Live Set.

This is the first version of the plugin and currently only works for OSX. A windows version will come later. It is designed to work with the 15 LED's on an encoder ring of a BCR knob. At this point there are no sysex files, so it requires you to be able to program the BCR.

A template may come later, but it seems silly to share one since everyboy has his own preferred template. This plugin works best with the top 8 encoders because they have different display modes. So using this plugin only requires a small modification to your exisiting BCR template.

Consult the manual for the install instructions.

I can't seem to get it to work. The part I don't get is what's the server application? something I should install?

I forgot to add that you need pluggo runtime to the manual.
The application is the file that isn't a vst.

I'll redo the documentation today.

I updated the documentation and released a new beta (2). This version allows up to 16 channels being used.

Just to be clear--does this also work with the bcf-2000?

Yes, the instructions are exactly the same. Just substitute BCR for BCF. This needs to be done with the top encoder for best effect.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is it the server or Live that crashes?
Which version of Live on what system?

I wish for a windows version

Good work though, I can only imagine the greatness of this.

Sorry for the delay on the windows version. Due to the release of Max 5, I've been unable to find somebody with Max 4.6 installed on a pc. Which is what I require to provide a pc version.
I don't own a pc and I've asked pretty much all the Max users I know. So if you're a max user and have Max 4.6 installed on your pc, send me a message.
If I don't find anybody then the pc version will arrive when pluggo 4 is released.
My apologies for getting people's hopes up.
