Re: BCF2000 midi & usb died

2011-08-16 by zeitgeber24

Heh, thanks for the quick replies yes. I fixed it up and it's working fine now. I actually didn't have much hope for this, because of the USB not working, so I gave up quickly.. But these things are built like a tank.

But I was mucking about with BC Manager and tried to come up with a sysex setup that works with my samplers knobs, I had a whole bunch of presets and was getting the hang of how the program worked, so I did a save of the preset I wanted to use and then a 'restart with default setup', so to thoroughly start a new. I probably did a send of the empty setups then?

Anyway all good now :)
