This is again something I think you can't do within the BCR itself; so you would have to loop the BCL statements back to the BCR (either directly or via some piece of software).

Note that to switch OFF the encoder, you only need to include the $encoder section: you don't need to re-send the $preset and $button sections (since these are the same).

However, ".easypar off" isn't valid BCL. You'd just have to send "$encoder 1" WITHOUT a .easypar statement.

In fact, you can leave out the other statements under $encoder too, so just:

$rev R1
$encoder 1
$end

You can even leave out the "1" after "R" and the "$end" statement:

$rev R
$encoder 1

But of course switching the encoder back on would have to include the whole original $encoder section.

Hope this helps a bit,
Mark.
