Hi,

I bought "Arturia BeatStep Controller/Sequencer"

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I88HPUO/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_1

I have a simple C++ program running on a PC that writes to command line received MIDI messages when rotating a knob/endless encoder(EE).
https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtmidi/index.html#input

Values from EE are in 1 step increment from 0 to 127 (If I rotate the EE after it reached 127 or 0 it never get above 127 or below 0)

Is it possible to control/set the value of the EE from PC ? I mean, when I spin the EE to e.g. value 127 on the MIDI controller can I set its value to e.g. 0 with a MIDI message sent prom the PC ?
What would the MIDI message look like ?

Thank you !
Frank

There is software that allows to configure the controls, but there does not appear to be any official documentation about what messages it uses.

But there is Taming Arturia’s Beatstep: Sysex codes for programming. In the comments, somebody mentioned a SysEx that works on the BeatStep Pro.
