Yes, this is simply how the BCR works: the display innocently shows
"P-..", but in fact the "temporary preset" is the only preset that you
can edit on the BCR itself and the only one that sends controller
data. The memory presets can only be accessed if you copy them to the
temporary preset.

The distinction between temporary and memory presets is a common one
on synths etc., but always liable to give rise to confusion of the
"did I save my changes?" type.

I think that the fact that BC Manager allows you to (seemingly) bypass
the temporary preset by saving a memory preset directly is a good
thing, but I admit that it can be confusing.

However, the BCR of course DOES respond automatically when you send it
the temporary patch ("patch 0") from BC Manager (you can even send
individual buttons/encoders of the temporary preset, which is great
while you're building up your presets). But then of course if you like
these temporary settings, you ultimately have to copy them to a memory
preset (either via the STORE button on the BCR itself or by means of
BC Manager).

I'll see what I can do...! (Actually, I sometimes feel that there are
so many crucial points that we might end up with half the manual in
bold...)

Mark.
