Having problems getting BCR2000 and JX-8P working together
2012-11-14 by bamajawn
I am fairly new to MIDI and have been trying to have my BCR control my JX-8P. I've read the various manuals, posts, and experimented a lot, but am having trouble getting the two connected. I've probably missed something obvious and am hoping that someone can help. I read the answer to a previous question about using a DAW to direct the synth to the BCR, but I'd like to be able to control my synth in stand-alone mode. I have the BCR connected to my computer via USB. The firmware is current at 1.10. The connection to the JX is: JX MIDI out > BCR MIDI in > BCR MIDI out > JX MIDI in First, I downloaded the JX-8P profile from this site. Using BC Manager, I sent the profile to the BCR. After the send, my BCR lights changed on P-16 and P-32. I believe this indicates a successful upload. All the BC Manager testing indicated that the BCR was recognized and connected. Next, I set the JX to receive on MIDI channel 16 and used P-16 on the BCR: MIDI button on JX > edit slider to 16 > Write However, the BCR does not seem to be communicating with the synth. Turning knobs doesn't change the tone, nor does the JX display change. What have I missed? Thanks in advance for your help. Once I solve this, I feel that I can get my JV-1080 connected as well.
