I am using Ableton Live 8, a BCR2000 and my Virus TI POlar (first version). I use the BCR to control multiple sounds in the Virus at the same time. With the BCR front end it makes manipulating multiple cutoffs, amplifier section, FX and such a real dream on the stage. I can tweak multiple parameters on multiple Virus channels simultaneously. Its pretty epic and I highly sugest getting one of these controllers if you are a live performance tweaker.
So here is my issue...
I want to be able to map the first 6 Virus parts across the first top 6 buttons on the BCR2000. With other parameters I can map no problem on the Virus. With this "Arp ON" button on the face of the virus no good. When I go into virus control there really is not a button for this either... just a pull down menu in the arp section to choose the type of arp mode (up, down, as played... off and so on). So it looks like the only real place is the virus front end panel for this operation.
My question is does this parameter on the TI Polar put out any MIDI control data? If so what is its CC number and I am guessing on and off is 0 / 127 respectively? I am thinking there must be a work around here some place... It would be really dumb to not be able to turn this on or off... I even notice that the "hold" button in the Virus Control also says "this parameter cannot be automated." Really?! There must be a ay around this.
Work arounds, settings or tweaks to get this to work with the BCR2000 on multiple Virus parts?!?
