Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Typically I do this with buttons.

There are 4 convenient buttons at bottom right of BCR.

And if you "pair" them, one incr, one decr, (x 2)

You can have 

Bank +  Bank -
Pgm  +  Pgm  -

Of course this will be on one channel.
For me this is all I need.
Works on all the synths I add in.

Also, in terms of zoning the keyboard I am currently doing this with hardware.
I build an arduino circuit to sit in between my keyboard controller and the BCR.

But you can do this with midiox mappings.

Set ch1 for note on/off in a certain range
ch2 for note on/off in another range
etc etc

I would experiment with that first, then you can work out if you want/need to achieve this real time without a PC.

Finally, if you use a DAW, you can just record parts at a time and change the output channels for the final mix.

What I want to do is control it with an external keyboard on another channel, but the other keyboard I have can't send Bank changes, so I'm hoping I can use the BCR2000 to make the program changes.

Is this something I can do with the BCR2000?  I was thinking I'd assign 16 rotary controllers for banks, one for each channel, and 16 rotary controllers for programs, also one for each channel.  Does this make sense?  Does anyone have a different suggestion?  I'm not sure if this will even work.
