Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Joey
I'm afraid that I mainly use my editor which is a bit tech and Mark's is much better for most people, but here goes

Start BC Manager
Click the left button "Show List of B-controls"
If your control isn't there then Menu "B-Control/New BCF2000"
This row should be highlighted so click menu 'Midi options" and select the Midi In and Out for your BCF and the program should find it.

Click the P button and the preset list comes up
On this new window press Menu "Midi / Receive" to download the preset list.
Select a preset 0 and press the circle within a circle button "Encoders'.
This will show you the details of the encoders

The encoders have a physical resolution of 96.
This means that there are 96 different spots when you turn the 
encoder 360 degrees.

The software parameter 'Resolutions' has a default 96 which means that each spot puts out a the next incremented value 1,2,3...

So if you had a range of 0 to 127 you would have to turn the encoder more than one whole turn to get to 127.

If you made the resolution  96 x 2 =192 then at each spot you would put out the old value + 2 eg ... 10,12,14...

If you made the resolution  96 / 2 =48 then at each spot you would put out the value twice before incrementing eg ... 10,10,11,11,12,12,...

Hope this helps
Royce
