Thanks again Royce, I've messed around with the settings a bit, but still I get the skipping
values. I think my BCR is just malfunctioning. Even when I load the "only Controllers"
preset from the behringer site I get the skipping values...... Anyone else encountered this
problem? thinking of getting a new one!
