Some BCR funtion questions

2013-08-22 by brian_chinetti

Hi all,

I just was given a BCR to hook up edit some of my hardware synths and apparently I'm a complete noob when it comes to midi and sysex. So I have some questions I just can't get sorted out by myself... 

I'm on OSX 10.8 but I have BC manager installed with Bootcamp running Windows 7. I downloaded BCR presets for the DW8000, the Alpha Juno, Kawai K1 and the JX8p. But if I load one sysex preset, another gets overwritten unless I copy the already present preset to another location. I'd like to know, can you determine beforehand to what location the preset loads?

I've been using a DW8000 preset to test with my sequencer and am faced with another problem. When I connect the BCR directly to the DW8000 everything works fine. But when I connect the midi out of the BCR to the midi in of my midi card, I can not edit the DW8000. Yet, when I connect a midi keyboard to that same port 8, I can play the DW8000. I can't imagine this is normal, so am I overlooking something? 

Also, I couldn't get Sizzlemeister's PG300 preset I downloaded here to work with my Alpha Juno 2, at all... Sysex is on, and the midi channel is set to 7 like the read-me said, but what is this 'ID1' that is mentioned in there too? What must I do to get the bcr to control the Alpha Juno?

Thank you for your time, 

Brian
