Does anybody know if I can send data to the Behringer BCR2000 (in order to have a pleasing display of LEDs) without having that data come back to PD?

I have made a patch where the BCR2000's knobs simply send increment/decrement info, in powers of 10 (as set by some switches on the Behringer)... so the same knob can add .01, .1, 1, 10, 100, depending on a switch.

This works just fine, but, of course, the Behring thinks it's at, say, "3," when PD is dealing with "2571.42".

This isn't a problem, but it WOULD be nice to have an indication of where PD's data was, by looking at the BCR2000. Is there a way to send [ctlout] (or via another object) info without that number coming back into PD? Obviously, I'd scale the #s to make sense; that's not the problem.

What a small box I'm in... and what is this cat doing here?

ps I've looked at this, and it doesn't seem to relate exactly:

I, too, am interested in finding out how I could output data into a BCR 2000 from Pure Data. Such as volume data. For instance, I have sliders controlling a "channel strip" volume. Would be good to see what is incoming (between 0.0 and 1.0) and map that out into the little LEDs set to BAR-mode.

Anyone have any ideas how?

@esaruoho I recall complaints years ago that it was not possible to separate the display from the controls..... not available in the firmware....... but the talk was of the alpha-numeric display at top right.
I have this editor that might be usefull........ bc_edit.zip
It is the only one that I found that gave total access to the BC series parameters, but it is for windows only.
It lets you change anything..... make sure you read and save your current setup before playing around with the settings. It allows you to set the led control display for every knob.

If you send data from Pd to the BC it should show in the bar...... but of course you need to scale your volume (0.00 > 1.0) to 1 > 127 (at least 127..... you can set a finer resolution on the BC) as the BC is a midi controller and works only with integers.

If you are talking about a bargraph display of Audio level (rather than the volume control).... there is no reason that you could not map that to unused knobs on the BC.

@esaruoho
The above link to pd-list with [set $1( messages should work!?
If the BCR is always forwarding the incoming data (there should be a mode that doesn't), you could easily hold back that incoming data with [t f f] [change] [spigot] ect.
Even subtracting the output from the incoming data, - for not muting the knob while data is being spit out, could be a work around.
