Play with controllers

Almost everything in 2020 has an address, and anything with an address can be driven from a MIDI controller or over OSC. The table at the bottom of this page lists every one of them: its category, its OSC address, the range it accepts, and the value it starts at. Each module page carries the same table for its own parameters.

Assigning a MIDI controller

Learn mode is the quickest way, and it needs no configuration file:

1. Turn learn mode on with FN2 + L.
2. Select the parameter you want to control.
3. Move the knob, or press the key, that should control it.

See also Learn Mode.

Assigning by hand

Parameters that learn mode cannot reach are assigned in mappings.config.

1. Quit 2020.

2. Open ~/Library/Containers/com.dubrussell.2020beatmachine/Data/Library/Application Support/com.dubrussell.2020beatmachine/mappings.config in a text editor.

3. Add a line in this form, taking the address from the table below:

   <midi type="cc" channel="2" number="15" parameter="/master/1/fx/granular1/enable"/>

4. Open 2020 again.

Sending and receiving OSC

Incoming OSC needs a receive port, and outgoing OSC needs a destination; both are set up in Preferences. A send port can also be limited to the categories you care about, so one machine can take everything while another takes only the clock.
