How do I access the B encoders on the BCR? All I know is how to access E 1-56.

Thank You!

Hi

Just so we are on the same page, the E 1-56 are the top row of 8 encoders (rotary controls) that are switched with the 4 group buttons on the right to create 4 banks of 8 (=32 encoders).
Add to this the 3 rows of 8 encoders below (24 encoders) to make up the 56.

B1-32 are the push down switches that are part of the encoders on the top row (to make 4 banks of 8)
B33 48 are the 2 rows of 8 buttons below the top row of encoders.

B49 -62 are the groups of buttons on the right.
The bottom 4 switches are like the others, but the other 10 on the right have functions already assigned.
You can over write these functions and reprogram these.

(The are 2 sockets for foot switches, FS1 and FS2.as well.)

When you say "how do I get to B1-32" I assume mean "how do I program these switches"?
You can use the front panel for limited editing or you can use my editor to program them or you can use Mark's editor at
About Mountain Utilities and its website | Mountain Utilities
The manual has info on front panel editing. Mark's editor comes with very detailed info on what the BCR can do.
I have a simpler example document at
Midi Utilities

It is the same process to program any of the buttons, whether they are part of the encoder or separate switches.

All the best

Thanks for the elaborate response! I completely forgot that the top row of encoders are push-down! Whoops.... *blushes*

Those are awesome resources for the BC series, good work!

Hi,

I'm brand new to the BCR2000 despite having purchased one (and joining this group) quite a few months ago.

Per your page (Royce), I had no idea I could control my DW-8000 with the BCR2000. This is exciting news. I bought my DW8K in April 1986 and, outside of sysex & hooking it up to a (now ancient) JLCooper MSB+ MIDI patch bay, I've never delved deeper than using it as an external keyboard.

I'm looking forward to finding the time to get a handle on this. Thanks for listing your page in the reply above!

All the best,
