14-bit CC definitions on the BCF/BCR2000 only work for a limited range of controller numbers: the Controller number you DEFINE (e.g. in BC Manager on the "Standard output" tab) has to be in the range 0..31.

The BCF/R then outputs two CC messages whenever you turn the encoder: the first message has the controller number that you've defined (n=0..31), the second message has controller number n+32.
The first message's data value is the MSB (most significant 7 bits) of the 14-bit encoder value, the second message's data value is the LSB (least significant 7 bits) of the 14-bit encoder value.

Of course the receiving device must interpret this pair of messages correctly.
You say that the BCR's display goes beyond 127, but that the softsynth rolls over - I think this means that the softsynth only interprets the LSB message.

Hope this helps,
Mark.
