Re: Can't access Global Menu or any Presets

2013-07-24 by c.jones1078

Mark, that worked! 

I was able to access the Global Setup mode. I'm now attempting to restore the factory presets. I don't even want them to be honest, I only plan on using the BCR to control my hardware synths. Is there a better way to reset the machine?

Also, with the exception of the push encoder group buttons, all of the buttons don't do anything but say 'on' when I press them and then say 'off' when I let go. The unit is on Preset 1 with no way of changing it.
