Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I'd like the group select buttons to send MIDI cc. Is this possible? While they also still work as group select? I'm using all four groups, and I want to send a cc when I select group, so the software - Plogue Bidule - can route the signals differently depending on which group I'm viewing.

I tried assigning standard output and custom output using BC Manager, with no luck so far.

I think I have seen a layout that used group 3 and 4, but perhaps only two groups were used...

It's an interesting concept, but as far as I know it isn't possible: it's one or the other: these buttons function either as group selectors (doing nothing else) or as "normal" buttons.
As you may have noticed, in BC Manager's "layout" window this is indicated by the background color: "abnormal" buttons are pink.
How many encoder group buttons are "normal" and "abnormal" is determined by the value of "Encoder groups" on the Settings tab in the preset dialog box.

Hope this helps,
Mark.

Thanks for the reply! I figured as much. Worked out a much less elegant solution, but it does the trick.
