Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

All that sounds a bit full on TBH, I'd rather not have to install any other types of OS on my system if I can help it.

I've pretty much nailed what I wanted to do by using the SysEx Librarian, I've got the BCR controlling a virtual PG300 I've created in the Logic environment which in turn is connected to my Juno, the leds are matching the positions of any sliders which have a value range of 0-127 it's all looking quite slick. The virtual PG300 is unnecessary, I'm only hooked up to it so I can dbl check I'm setting up the BCR correctly.

I've figured out why the chorus on/off switch won't work - it only responds to value 0 or 1. There's also a few other controls which only use short value ranges (0-3 & 0-5)

Have you guys got any idea how to limit the ranges of SysEx controls within the BCR?

I've tried to go in using the "Edit" button when I turn the encoders for val 1 & val 2 I get a blank screen - encoder 1 shows "SPC" for the data type but apart from the led options none of the other encoders are offering any editing.

I've had quite a learning curve with this particular bit of kit over the past couple of days but I feel like I'm almost there with it.

Many thanks for all your help so far
