Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Mark

If 'BC2000' was a country, you'd be a national treasure :-)

It's not really my place as I'm only a BCR2000 newby, but on behalf of myself - if not the community - I'd just like to say thank you.  Always helpful, courteous and patient, and above all, very knowledgeable.

I'm still wiring up my studio, but really looking forward to setting up a BCR2000 patch for my AN1X.  With folks like yourself and others on this forum, it feels like anything is possible.

Many thanks

Bill

The message specifies which patch on the gt8 has called it (rather than the patch to change to)and you need to use the patch link function on the gr-20 to select the synth patch required. The BCR needs to be in stand-alone mode once the buttons are programmed. So, it now works. The next step is to program the rest of the buttons.
