Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Mark, thanks for getting back to me.  It's just the top 8 push encoders that this happens on.  I am using a mac so BC Manager is not an option but I have Parallels' installed so I might try it that way.  It happens on default presets and also ones where I have modified the acceleration settings.

When I say "spin" I mean that as the push encoders have freer movement than the regular encoders you can spin them rather than manual moving them from min to max.  I have used this method on other controllers.

I only became aware of this issue as I have started Djing and want to do fast filter sweeps and rapid control of other parameters.  I know I can use the bottom controls but just wanted to sort this issue out.

I will try what you suggest and experiment some more.

Thanks.
