Yes, it isn't the best solution (well it is, I guess, but not what you
want)

Yes, but it will skip values if you turn it quickly .

In one fast turn you will end up with StartValue + 192
In one slow turn you will end up with StartValue + 24
As the midi data is put out at fixed intervals there will be big gaps
in values with the fast turn.
This is great to find a value if the range is great. I have my FantomX
Bank and patch set to an encoder and a quick twist will jump banks and
slow turn to select the patch.

You can change the 'feel' of the BCR quite markedly with this thing.

.showvalue on - can be for all control elements, all buttons, all
encoders and all faders
Don't get it confused with .mode 1dot - this is for the LED ring
around the encoder.  showvalue is for the number display top right.
.mode does vary for the top row and the bottom 3 rows.

Excellent work!

I an wondering about the limitations of the BCR for what I am doing. I
would love a program that takes over the BCR with CC messages like
Reason and lets me output what ever I want.
It would allow for feedback. I would love to change a patch on the
synth and have the sysex reset all the controls on the BCR. 
Then again PCs are great for in the studio, but just an extra thing to
lug to a live gig.

The BCR's good but not perfect, but very cheap.
