I haven't ever run into an issue with the functions themselves, only the feedback/light of the button state. And yes it also flashes sorta erratically.....but it all works.

Sane exact thing happens here . I guess its a 2 function 1 button enter at your own risk kind of thing ?

Any ideas what to do with that class of (UI) faders?

When its a tick on and off i map it to rotary push

Have to apologize for causing confusion since I made this a "ghost post".
The minute after I had sent the inital post, I found that if you give the rotaryknob a short twist , the fader jumps from 0 to 1 and back again.
Thought my issue was resoved and withdrew my post.
Your answers were too quick for me
anyway, the issue remains since the rotary control I use does not work reliably; and it changes the value in the UI only, parameters in the GUI appear unaffected.
And thanks, I tried rotarypush, but couldnīt get it to work in this case.

Did you try Toggle+RotaryPush?
Do you have another button on the surface that makes sense to assign and you can remember? You could always play around with Toggle+ButtonName.

that is in the home BCR2000.zon.
here's my files. The fab-q was working before, the sends, I saw them only once and now not anymore. I just don't get it.

SebyMusic, your BCR2000.zon looks very incomplete. The Home zone declares included zones for 'Channels' and 'Buttons' and a 'Master Channel' but those zones don't actually exist in the .zon file. You can't just say these zones exist, you have to map them out and what they do. Also it declares a zone for "Sends" (plural) but you have a zone named "Send" (singular). Make the names match.
You also don't seem to declare a way for the FX.zon to become active. You have to tell CSI how it should activate the Pro-Q FX.zon but there's no instruction on how to do that. How do you want it to work? Do you want the Pro-Q mapping to automatically activate once the FX plugin window is open and focused? Or do you want it work via one of the other methods?
If you can provide a little more info about how you want to use the BCR2000 and how you'd like it to work as a Control Surface for Reaper and how you expect it to work for FX. Like which widgets do you want to act as TrackVolume and which as Pans or solo/mute. How do you want your FX.zon to activate. If you can provide that type of info, I'm sure we can help.

I see, I'm starting to understand more how it works all this CSI project.
Ok what I was trying to do...
When a track is selected, if the FX eq is on there, then activate.
About the sends, I want them to be alway active if a track is selected and if there's Sends associated to that selected track of course.
So the top row knobs are for the send 1 through 8 of the selected track
And the rest is for the EQ fx if on track.
Can you guide me on that please?
tks
Seby

Ok, so I'm hearing you want to use the Top row for Sends 1-8 on the selected track, and the remaining 3 rows of knobs for Pro-Q and nothing else. I'm guessing you have another surface handling track volume/pan type responsibilities already?
Follow up questions: which widgets are which? Your naming convention makes it difficult for me to figure out which are the top row. Is that widgets A1-A8? Or D1-D8? So which widgets are the top row?
Remember: when you get a working setup, we'd encourage you to share, and you want other users to be able to pick up on which widget is which, so names like A, B, C, D may not be obvious to someone else who owns the device, unless that's how those parameters are actually named on the device.
I'd also enocurage you to map out the entire device in the .mst if you haven't already. Looking at photos, it looks like it has a ton of buttons in addition to all those rotaries. Have you mapped those?

Try this out for bcr2000.zon. Here I've moved "Button1" into a zone called Buttons. I've also added "On Track Selection, Map Selected Track FX To Widgets." I believe this is what you'll need to tell Reaper "hey, if there's a Pro-Q with a corresponding mapping on the selected track, map it to widgets." I kept D as the sends assuming you want D1-D8 to map to Track Send Volume. I also cleaned up the syntax a bit. Send is now Send, I also eliminated the extra "1-8" in the Send zone that wasn't needed.
Code:
Zone "Home"
OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackFXToWidgets
IncludedZones
"Buttons|"
"Send|1-8"
IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd
Zone "Buttons|"
Button1 Reaper _RS9b44c05d0259a71665cf74f20645e7373ce218e1
ZoneEnd
Zone "Send|1-8"
SelectedTrackNavigator
D| TrackSendVolume
ZoneEnd

Hi FunkyBot, you are right, I did not gave enough details.
So bottom row is A
Last on Top is D
What you sent me seems to work, but now, every sends if there's 3 sends on track 1 for instance and that I move the first send, seems to move all light on every 8 knobs on D row.
is it because auto sends is checked?
Should I check something else?

We actually use the opposite convention -- I think
A is top row
D is bottom row
for the C4, right C4 folks out there ?
Are there letters on your surface A, B, C, D?
If not, might be good to use the same convention for all surfaces where possible.

You could always save it as a .txt file and change the file extension to .zon manually after the fact.

Toggle+RotaryPush works
Thanks very much!
Cheers Funkybot
Edit: Cheers to cragster too, somehow overlooked the toggle+ in your post.
To be honest, when I first read about it I thought "Toggle" is a special button on one of the fancier controllers
But since i couldnīt find it in any .mst file I tried it in my .zon file.
By the way, does "Toggle" accept a parameter, like a value, for instance,
somtehing like Toggle+RotaryPush1 FXParam "0" "Wet" 10 -> sets a fader to 10dB?

Yep, us C4 guys have A as the top row and D as the bottom row.
There's no markings for rows on either unit.
The BCR2000 is a little more complicated in that the top row of encoders have 4 independant groups- effectively 32 rotaries and 32 pushes.
I have a BCR2000.mst with sysex setup file ready to go if anyone's interested (I don't know how far down the road you are with your own) It has it's own naming convention and so may just confuse things

Hi again FunkyBot, Wow, you're the man, it seems to work.
tks.
Hi have another question for you...
Still with my BCR2000, I have a PAGE button on it witch is called preset and return
not midi data, it just change the page inside the unit itself.
If I want to control another plugin, what would be the best way to proceed?
With those pages or still on page 1 with have already the Fab EQ on it.
Lets say I don't want to necessaraly open the plugin itselt, but just select the track and turn the knobs on the unit.
But If I have 2 plugins on the track lets say Fabfilter EQ and puigtec EQ.
What would be your recommendation about it
tks
Seby

No, but you'll be able to achieve the same thing when Geoff releases the stepped FX parameter model

The BCR2000 is a little more complicated in that the top row of encoders have 4 independant groups- effectively 32 rotaries and 32 pushes.
I have a BCR2000.mst with sysex setup file ready to go if anyone's interested (I don't know how far down the road you are with your own) It has it's own naming convention and so may just confuse things

Hi, yest I'm interested MixMonkey
Really interested.
I just setup one plugin with it and sends at the top row.

I'm happy to post it, but you realise you'll have to abandon the naming convention you're using and adopt the one in my .mst?

Yes, I'll try it. at least, if you help me in future, you and I will talk the same language lol. So I guess it's a sysex that I have to load in the machine with BC Manager?

Here you go. I've included both a .bcr file and a sysex file, so you've got a choice of how to load it. It will overwrite the current patch (so pick an unused one) The .bcr file has it as patch 1.
The naming convention is as follows:
Top row of Rotaries are RotaryG1-1 to RotaryG1-8, RotaryG2-1 to RotaryG2-8, RotaryG3-1 to RotaryG3-8 and RotaryG4-1 to RotaryG4-8 (the 4 groups) Their pushes are RotaryPushG1-1 etc.
The 16 buttons are UpperButton1 to UpperButton8 and LowerButton1 to LowerButton8.
The top row of plain rotaries are RotaryA1 to RotaryA8, the middle row is RotaryB1 to RotaryB8 and the lower row is RotaryC1 to RotaryC8.
The four buttons at the bottom on the LHS are UserButton1 to UserButton4. Phew
It's late here so I'm going to bed now but see if you can get the BCR2000 loaded ok and check that the messages being sent are correct. I'll be back tomorrow

To be honest, when I first read about it I thought "Toggle" is a special button on one of the fancier controllers
But since i couldnīt find it in any .mst file I tried it in my .zon file.
By the way, does "Toggle" accept a parameter, like a value, for instance,
somtehing like Toggle+RotaryPush1 FXParam "0" "Wet" 10 -> sets a fader to 10dB?

No worries. Just glad you got it working !!!

Nice to see folks making progress with their CSI setups!
Here's my updated MIDI Fighter Twister setup. The syntax is updated for the latest version, with sends fixed. There's also 61 FocusedFX Zones covering a lot of different plugins, which I put into a sub-folder. It's so great to have an FX load up, automatically get mapped, and be able to use my ears and get the immediate feedback that a control surface affords with some visual feedback, and without any crazy parameter jumping thanks to the endless rotaries with LED's. Thanks Geoff for enabling this!
If you have an MFTwister and have any feedback, please share!

Hi MixMonkey, thank you very much for all this.
I have 2 questions for you...
First Question:
Do you think you could provide the zon file also so I could study it a little and try to understand it better the way you use it?
Second Question:
Before, on the bcf2000. when no parameter was assign or not written at all in zon file, the lights on knobs were OFF.
Now, they are always on on first led.
Is there a way to show light on only assigned parameters?
tks
Seby

Focus FX Help please
Hi, I have a BCR2000 and almost everything is working as expected lol.
About plugins mapping / Focus.
I have the 2 zon plugins insert on one track (see them down there).
When i'm on home, I see on my controller that the last effect is available, cause I see the ring led and if I move it, it does move the plugin parameters.
Now, if I open the inserts fx window and select the first plugin in the chain, it does not get focused.
So I'm pretty sure it's a focus thing
Also, in the ini of the BCR, what should be checked?
here's my 3 zon files.

At the moment I'm developing a u-he DIVA synth control .zon. I don't use the BCR2000 for regular mixer functions, but I can probably knock together something for you to look at.
Regarding the LEDs, I've modified the .bcr patch so that they are normally off. Just load this into the BCR2000. Incidentally, you can do this using the BC Manager software

Ok, firstly the action:
Code:
OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackFXToWidgets
is going to map ALL the FX on a track to the widgets. So in your two FX .zon files there will be collisions as A1-3 are used in both .zon.
Also in the .zon files you should have EITHER:
OR
Code:
SelectedTrackNavigator
but not both. They represent two different methods of mapping FX parameters to widgets.
shouldn't be in there either.
Let me see if I can cook up an FX menu solution on the BCR2000 (slightly tricky with no displays) as this would let you select which FX slot gets mapped to the widgets.

Actually, what I was trying to do and this is why there's a collison, is that when an effect is selected or open, then the BCR become THAT selected effect.
tks again for your help

You're trying to setup a SelectedTrackNavigator then if a conflict prioritize the FocusedFX? I'm pretty sure CSI doesn't do that.
My suggestion is use FocussedFXNavigator. This way you can make a million .zon mappings for all your plugins, and use the BCR2000 to control the one that's in focus without having to worry about conflicts.
This is exactly what I'm doing in my MIDI FIghter Twister setup. Whenever I have a FocusedFX, the first 16 knobs/shiftknobs/buttons become mapped to that effect. Then when no effect is focused, the controls go back to their original functions. It's a highly flexible, simple approach. It requires some mouse movement to open the plugin, but that's it.

Yeas, I saw that in your zon files, but I don't know what I did wrong, but I tried to copy your zon file, well the top of it, and it did not work also.
mmmm
Maybe I changed it wrong
What it should looks like in each of the 3 zones?
tks

In that case use FocusedFXNavigator in the FX.zon files and put:
Code:
MapFocusedFXToWidgets
in the BCR.zon
Also, tick 'Auto Map Focused FX' in the prefs.
Here's a new .bcr (I think I turned off all the LEDs in the last one )

If you want the FocusedFX to get mapped, you'd want this...
Code:
Zone "Home"
OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
OnFXFocus MapFocusedFXToWidgets
IncludedZones
"Buttons|"
IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd
Zone "Buttons|"
RotaryPushG1-1 Reaper _RSb088b4119653e226ec4b0106bd11dea845fed57c
Button19 Reaper _RS9b44c05d0259a71665cf74f20645e7373ce218e1
ZoneEnd
Zone "Send|1-8"
SelectedTrackNavigator
RotaryG1-| TrackSendVolume
ZoneEnd
And this...
Code:
Zone "VST3: FabFilter Pro-C 2 (FabFilter)" "FabfilterC2"
FocusedFXNavigator
RotaryA1 FXParam "1" "Threshold"
RotaryA2 FXParam "2" "Ratio"
RotaryA3 FXParam "5" "Attack"
RotaryA4 FXParam "6" "Release"
RotaryA5 FXParam "3" "Knee"
RotaryA6 FXParam "4" "Range"
RotaryA7 FXParam "8" "Lookahead"
RotaryA8 FXParam "0" "Style"
Toggle+UserButton4 FXParam "39" "Bypass"
ZoneEnd
Any unmapped widgets in an FX.zon would still pass back to the primary .zon file. So for example, if your FocusedFX includes RotaryG1, that will take priority when the FX are focused, but if not, that will still work to control sends.
MixMonkey or Geoff or anyone, please correct me if anything I'm saying is wrong.

Hi, I think this is what I tried.
See my example in this little video. Probably you'll spot something i'm doing wrong
