Re: MIDI setup for MKS-50 and BCR-2000

2009-01-29 by bryantabuteau

Well, I've already gone through in the BC Manager and added comments
to each line when I was working it out for myself.  Is there a way of
me exporting that so you can save some time?

The layout that the MKS-50 .bc2 file has is okay, but I'd move the
portamento time so it was immediately available without having to
switch the top encoders.
