Re: [bc2000] Re: MIDI setup for MKS-50 and BCR-2000

Unfortunately, that setup is not documented. The .bc2 file has no comments so I have no idea what is programmed to what w/o having to go lookup in the sysex table for the MKS-50 and match it to the entry in the .BC2.

I plan to tackle this myself as a learning project either way. If you have an idea of a good layout for which parameters to which knobs, I'm open to your suggestions. I'm trying to see what's the best logical layout right now on a paper template.

Well, the sysex and .bc2 preset file for the MKS-50 already exist, so
I don't think I can really contribute anything here. I was looking
for a way of remapping controls and changing the layout easily, and as
far as I'm aware, the ini file was the only easy way to do that?

For the moment, unless I see another way of doing it, i'll just use
the .bc2 preset as it stands.
