Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I just got a secondhand BCF from a friend, and have just started exploring this group and will get onto looking at the BCManager tonight [thanks for all the extensive support here!] but I've got a question first.

I want to have more encoder groups - something like 12 different sets of 8 encoders would be great.

So far I've set my machine up to have 8 different presets, and each preset is transmitting midi data on a different midi Channel, but this isn't ideal. When I change BCF preset it sends all the midi data for that preset to my DAW and all of a sudden the fader data [and button data] changes. I want the faders and some buttons as global controls, I just want access to more knobs by having more encoder groups/pages.

I figure i could do this with external software by creating some sort of patch that when a button is pushed it +8 to the midi CC parameter, but I thought there must be a more elegant solution.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
