Yes - i have it working on linux without a problem, there is a chance that version you own has been customized (have overwritten mapping), or even have upgraded firmware. Do you had it working on any other machine?

No windows and mac drivers are outdated and do not install. What distro are you on ?

Thanks for this, I'll try to run arch on a usb stick to see if it can detect the BCR. Other wise I'll use it only via MIDI in/out.

If this is new device for you check the manual - i know it could be reconfigured in a lot of way.

See the operation mode settings, maybe it is just set up to work as MIDI only

Hey,

Did you made your BCR working? If so, please provide some info about it.
