Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi all,

I've been trying to get my bcr to talk to my GR-20 guitar synth.... unsuccessfully.

 

I have a roland GT-8 fx pedal that can 'patch link' with the gr-20 by midi. It works fine. (The bcr is also functioning OK with my DAW.) I'm trying to create a preset on the bcr to control the GR-20 patch switching 

 

If I put the bcr into learn mode and send a patch change message from the GT8, it seems to capture it ok but doesnt seem to be able to send it from the bcr to the GR-20.

 

I'm trying to use the bcr to effectively send a bank change message because you can only increment patches on the guitar. To shift banks you have to bend down and turn the knob on the gr-20 which is a royal pain. 

 

My idea was to use the bcr to set the gr-20 to the first patch of each bank using buttons and then I can increment patches within the bank from the guitar.

 

Has anyone ever done this? Or could anyone give me some idea? (I've googled it and not come up with any solutions and theres nothing I could find on Rolands support forums)

TIA

Dave
