Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi rpcfender,

Thanks for your help, but this unit is way more stuck than you think!

If I could use the system buttons to get to edit>global mode I would
be able to change it to S-3 and have no problem sending a new SysEx to
it through the MIDI-IN port at the rear. The thing is, the system
buttons and the preset buttons are all changed to CCs so I can't
change to any other mode or any other preset. This, coupled with the
fact that the broken USB driver does not let the BCR receive SysEx
over the USB MIDI port, makes my unit stuck in U-3 mode, unable to
change. I can't send a new SysEx to it, or change the preset, or reset
the unit holding the EDIT and EXIT buttons, so I'm looking for some
other way to change the preset on it.

I opened up the unit today and tried taking the flash chip out and
putting it back again. This didn't reset the flash in any way and the
unit is operating just as it was before I took it apart, so, no luck
there.

Maybe I can get a new CPU board or a new flash chip from Behringer,
but I won't be very happy paying for a replacement part for something
that was broken when I bought it. I should have send it for repairs as
soon as I found the problem, but I thought it was a windows/USB
port/driver error.

Anyway, I'll see what Behringer say about sending me a replacement
part but if anybody can think of a way to change to a new preset on
this, please let me know.

Thanks,
-Ryan
