Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

It's just about speed and simplicity.  In fact, I do use banks with my BCR, but having a shift button (two in fact) makes the buttons on the BCR much more intuitive and useful.  Take my top row of push encoders.  They correspond to 8 send effect on/off switches for the selected track.  Using shift with the push encoder opens the respective send's GUI and selects its GR bank).

Anyways....it works fabulously, but is confined to Cubase and involves looping the BCR's data through its MIDI IN and OUT.  I'd rather just have a solution right inside the BCR.

Anyways, I thought it might be possible to configure the encoder group buttons to automatically return back to particular encoder group when released.

I don't understand well the midi channel concept , I see that the midi channel is fixed on GR definitions ( on the top , as well as wich cc is assigned to wich buttim , etc ) . I never cared about it because I never needed to use even a different midi channel on any knob anytime , its always on the channel 01 . In which situation you will use it ?

So if I have one button that transmits on Chan 16 CC 1, when I hold down my shift button (which activates the transformer plugin) the data is changed to Chan 15 CC 1. I was hoping there was a way to do this entirely in the BCR. I have a BCF2000 running in Mackie Mode (which has shift buttons) so I suspect this is possible.
