Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Thanks Mark, for the reply.
I was mistaken, I've been pressing "store" and "exit", which initializes the current preset.
This allows me to reprogram and continue working. But, if I try to change presets using the preset> button, it goes into the flashing mode. 

This was brought to my attention when I accidentally sent a program change from my Yamaha P200 keyboard, and the BCF freaked and went into that mode. I have since locked my keyboard. I also thought the keyboard was sending weird data to confuse the BDF.

 I really need to load up your BC manager! Been so busy on a project, I didn't want to change anything.

Thanks

> As section 22 describes, one thing you might try is hold down "store" and "exit" while switching on the BCF: this should give you a "clean" (temporary) preset, so that should defeat any problems related to the content of your memory preset 4 - if you can't switch presets even then, there really is something wrong at a more fundamental level.
