Easy. Just use the font panel

Yes and no.
No. The BCR200 can't do it by itself as you can't pick the port to output to as far as I know. Out is Midi out however you configure the unit so all the data will appear.
Yes. If you had a PC you could set the BCR to USB mode 3.
Then you could use MidiOx.
Set up the CC7 encoders as normal.
Set up a set of CC100 (any CC that you are not going to use) the same way.
In MidiOx connect the BC USB to both the MidiA and MidiB of the BCR. (View the Midi Port Routing window)
You then need to create 2 map files.
The first one just filters out CC100 on all channels using 'discard' in the second drop down box.
Save the file as NoCC100
The second one does the same for CC7, but it also has a second line, a Map from CC100 to CC7 on all channels.
Save the file as NoCC7
Save both of these. NoCC7 and NoCC100, into the MidiOx Directory (C:\Program Files\MidiOx - or where every you set up MidiOx)
In the Midi Port Routing window right click the small box on the connecting line BCR USB to MidiA output and select properties.
Go to the "Map File" drop down box and pick NoCC100 .
When you turn CC7 encoder CC7 should come out, but when you turn a CC100 encoder nothing should come out of MiidA
Do the same for MidiB connection but choose NoCC7. The CC100 encoder should send out CC7 out the MidiB port and CC7 encoder should send out nothing.
If you need these MidiOx Map Files email me and I send them to you, but they are fairly easy to set up.
