Default Getting Started

Hi,

I'm currently struggling with getting started and wonder if anyone can give me a nudge.

I have a BCR2000 and a BCF2000. I thought I would start with a very simple example and try to get the BCR2000 to control ReaEQ. I've read the wiki over and over and no doubt I'm missing something or just dense.

I have created a BCR2000.mst file and I can see inside REAPER that I am reading values when I twist knobs and the names correspond to the names in my BCR2000.mst file. So I think I have that part done, if not correctly then at least mostly correct. I can post it if it would help.

Example: Twisting some knobs in the CSI Edit window with Show Input from Surfaces -

IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT2 -0.125000
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT2 -0.625000
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT2 -0.625000
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT2 -0.312500
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT3 -0.125000
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT4 -0.125000
IN <- BCR2000 RotaryT4 -0.312500


Next I created a very simple zon file; BCR2000.zon that has only the following in it.

Zone "Home"
OnFXFocus MapFocusedFXToWidgets
ZoneEnd

the I have a ReaEQ.zon file that looks like this:

Zone "VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)" ReaEQ
FocusedFXNavigator
RotaryM2 FXParam 0 "Freq-Band 1"
RotaryT2 FXParam 1 "Gain-Band 1"
RotaryB2 FXParam 2 "Q-Band 1"
RotaryM3 FXParam 3 "Freq-Band 2"
RotaryT3 FXParam 4 "Gain-Band 2"
RotaryB3 FXParam 5 "Q-Band 2"
RotaryM3 FXParam 6 "Freq-Band 3"
RotaryT4 FXParam 7 "Gain-Band 3"
RotaryB4 FXParam 8 "Q-Band 3"
RotaryM5 FXParam 9 "Freq-Band 4"
RotaryT5 FXParam 10 "Gain-Band 4"
RotaryB5 FXParam 11 "Q-Band 4"
RotaryM6 FXParam 12 "Freq-Band 5"
RotaryT6 FXParam 13 "Gain-Band 5"
RotaryB6 FXParam 14 "Q-Band 5"
RotaryM7 FXParam 15 "Freq-Band 6"
RotaryT7 FXParam 16 "Gain-Band 6"
RotaryB7 FXParam 17 "Q-Band 6"
RotaryM8 FXParam 18 "Freq-Band 7"
RotaryT8 FXParam 19 "Gain-Band 7"
RotaryB8 FXParam 20 "Q-Band 7"
RotaryM9 FXParam 21 "Freq-Band 8"
RotaryT9 FXParam 22 "Gain-Band 8"
RotaryB9 FXParam 23 "Q-Band 8"
ZoneEnd


Both my zon files are inside a folder named BCR2000. When I add an instance of ReaEQ to a track and open it up I am not able to get the BCR2000 to control anything. I feel that if I could get this simple example working I would be able to start making some progress. Any guidance is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Jones

I may have just spotted my problem. The names in my ReaEQ.zon file don't match. Off to edit that and try again. Nope still nothing.
