Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

FWIW  I get the same thing happening with my BCR2000.
That's why I'm thinking of taking it out of the loop. I've already incorporated a CME Bitstream 3X as a replacement.
I am using the BCR as a MIDI device into a M-Audio 8x8 MIDI patch bay (the ugly green and blue one); not using the BCR as a USB device at all.
I'm certain the BCR has a minor grounding issue. I hear a high pitch over my reference monitors when the BCR was turned on, but it disappears when it's off.

Hi Bruno

Does you mod wheel do this regardless of BCR in the loop?
See for me the BCR has to be in the loop (he induces the noise) and interestingly it is only certain instruments that propagate it.

I wish I could work out the mechanism so as to design a cure :-).

But at least I am not alone in hitting this issue ... would be bad news if one wanted to move a param whilst playing / recording ...
