Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


I hope I'm wrong but I believe that REW isn't compatible with the DEQ 2496

You have to choose the FBQ2496 from REW's equalizer menu to be able to transpose the decimal values to fractional values. The filter values must be entered manually

Maybe there is an easier way, that I'm not aware of!!

The Midi protocols differ on the various Behringer units, I'm trying to get hold of a DEQ2496 to add support for it.

How long would you need to hang on to the DEQ?

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


About a week, provided its arrival coincided with my having some spare time to work on it Spare time is in rather short supply at the moment though, as preparations for my wedding (just over 2 weeks away ) are taking up most of it.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Congratulations John!!! I didn't know. I'm very happy for you!

Obviously, the DEQ thing is way down the priority list

Just shoot me an E-mail when ever you find time and I'll send mine to you

Again, Congratulations to You and your future Wife

Sincerely,
Julien

Wow... this is news! Good news! Congrats! We may have to make an official announcement. You kinda slipped this on in there on us, huh?



Btw Julien... shipping from NC to the UK might be more than you want to pay.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


it doesn't take long to manually load filters though, the current craze in society of doing everything by remote control from the couch is getting OUT OF HAND!!!!

And as you usually only do it once ( tweak and eq the system) is it really worth the bother??

Congratulations John, feels like this is in the wrong place tho!!

Thanks for the Heads Up Sonnie
I didn't know that John is located in the UK!

I don't want to gush about John, REW, and the great resource these forums are to music/movie lovers

Let me say that I would be honored to be able to contribute, in some tiny way, to the continued development of REW

I've heard from Berhinger that they are arranging a unit, so that should solve the problem.

You do know that the connection from REW to the DEQ is only a convenience that can be manually carried out?

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Sorry, no progress on that. The unit from Behringer never materialised and I've not found the time to buy a unit and add support for it, but I will get to it.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


John, can we help in any way ? I do have a DEQ2496 and I am willing to help if you give the right instructions on what to do.

And I am pretty sure that the other members are also willing to help.

And congratulations for your marriage.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Thanks for the offer, but it would not be practical to test the comms implementation via a third party. I'll buy a unit to implement and check the protocol.

Of course you can!! Simply enter the requirements manually.

What's the big deal with a midi connection?? I don't understand the fuss.

the unit itself is perfectly workable, responds perfectly to the suggestions/settings of REW. It is actually a very good unit.

Why is everyone SOOOO lazy that they can't do it by hand?? Trust me, it will take you longer to work out how to use the unit than any amount of manual input required.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


That's easy. The fuss is I don't know what I am doing so anything to automate such a process is important for me when I'm making these sorts of decisions! I've found the DEQ2496 online now. I actually quite like the idea of the MIDI stuff, it interests me, more so than manually transposing into a unit.

Fair enough, I can understand that. However, if all you are going to use the deq for is what you can download into the unit from REW then it's way overkill, save your money and go for a 'lesser' unit.

The deq is capable of WAY more than what limited use REW will give.

On the other hand, if you learn to use the full potential of the deq then it's a doddle to load REW results manually, if you follow my meaning.
