The Covert Operators

Earlier this year, a generous man by the name of Mark Barrot paid us to make a Clip Launcher for the Lemur that is stable and works to his specifications.

The application is now available for free and it is open source.

The Clip Grid is limited to 60 Tracks by 40 Scenes. Clip names, Clip colors, Track names and Scene names are displayed. Clips that are playing are turned White. It doesn't do the flashing when triggered because the API doesn't do the flashing when triggered.

This application is a tool for Live Performers that want a quicker way to reset any parameter changes in their set.

When you're working on a big set that has a lot of parameters "MIDI Learned", its quite a considerable task to get all these values back to a preprogrammed state in one go. You could load the set again, but what about the changes you made and the clips you added? You just want to press a button to set the parameters to where they should be and save your set.

The BCR Performer application is something I wrote because the BCR2000 doesn't work like I want it to work.

Why?

Say you're using 2 BCR presets. One preset has its messages sending out on MIDI channel 1 and the second preset is sending out messages on MIDI Channel 2. You currently have preset 1 selected, this means that anything assigned to preset 2 won't receive any updates from Live.

So when you load a set, the BCR is only updated on 1 preset. And if you change MIDI Learned parameters that aren't currently displayed on the BCR, they won't be updated.
