pads sensitivity can be set in the menu by editing the event.

I've read all the posts and this is some interesting (as well as encouraging) news for BPM users! As a user of BPM also, I like many wondered what the software would be like mapped to hardware (the current electronic utopia - the perfect marriage of software to an intelligent, user friendly hardware controller). SSP, you're definetly to be commended for your efforts on this project (personal or business)!ssp wrote:its already done
menu, load group/bank presets
each bank/group has saved edited settings for other features.
so you tab to group 2 from the main group one and on say group 2 you set certain buttons up for edit, cut, paste etc. then for the main bpm features you just tab back to them main preset group.
the whole system can have multiple and i mean as many as you like edited control settings for anything, hell you can even use the controller for any other softsynth, drum synth etc. its not just bpm related. its a totally user programmable generic controller surface that has onboard MIDI learn function, full cc#, note, meta event, sysex and command assignability to anything on the controller, be it a button , pad, encoder, anything can be assigned to anything.
the only thing that cant be done to it is.. well.. nothing.
it can also transmit full mmc (MIDI machine control) commands, i can also in a future case add a full mtc clock display an 8 digit display. so you can see the current time code display.

I do have one question though and it was asked in an earlier post and even here and that is: 'since BPM (the software) can be used in 'stand alone' mode, (which includes full GRAPHIC EDITING of samples and loops) how would your hardware in its current rev (with what looks like a lcd window for text and numerical data only) address this if one wanted to use BPM hardware/software also as a STAND ALONE unit (like an MPC 5000 or MV8800?) Or is it just being designed as a hardware MIDI controller with the user doing ALL graphic editing ONLY from the software being run on a computer? You state in a future case, you could add a full mtc clock display and an 8 digit display so you can see the current time code but are you considering FULL ON GRAPHIC EDITING from the hardware as well? From what I gather so far, it seems its going to be a great MIDI controller for BPM and other software/hardware MIDI devices, just NO onboard GRAPHIC editing. Yes, No? I'm also running BPM inside of my OpenLabs Gen5 Miko mapped nicely to BPM. So the potential of what your doing would be great for current BPM users (if this goes to market that is) looking to take full advantage of all that the software has to offer.

Tell me more about the MIDI out please. My guess is that it is NOT MIDI transmission from BPM but just from the controller itself. I would LUV to be wrong about that BTW.ssp wrote:the current rear ports of the bpm harware v1 are as follows.
9vdc in, usb b port, MIDI in and out. MIDI learn over usb or standard MIDI ports, MIDI transmit over standard MIDI ports or usb.
one thing you need to understand, im not under a deadline, im not obliged to rush and i certainly do not want to make mistakes.luneytunes wrote:Man, when is the end of January? THIS week!

Stop playing around with those other silly projects and get back to work on our BPM controller.

gotcha!ssp wrote:look bpm isnt an akai unit, it cant even attempt to copy the workings of an akai unit hardware or software wise simply because of copyright and patent on the akai system.
this is why its called bpm not virtual akai mpc.
the bpm has its own unique feature set and as it is still under development is still prone to upgrades. as to the release date of the update, i cannot say im afraid, not because i dont know, but simply because i have been asked not to discuss it.
as for my "inventions" not working with it, i can catagorically tell you it is 100% compatible with all of bpm's feature set.
if as you say your going to get rid of bpm and just use logic and maschine so be it, in the mean time im going to carry on working on this and enjoy the fruits of my labours.
