In fact is this the way to do it? I can't see any other way. Also -will the merged (keyboard and BCF) midi information get jumbled inside the Capybara?

I don't have a midi merge box so I cannot test it.(I will purchase one if this is the way to go).

Anyway ... you CAN use the BCF as a standard MIDI Controller and assign manual the CCs in the VCS. Then you can use the MIDI INPUT of the BCF 2000 as a midi input for a MIDI keyboard or another MIDI controller and merge it with the internal controllers data ....

all the best

p.s.: a better solution is to use a MIDI merger or an old MIDI interface for PC/Mac which has a standalone merge/routing mode like some old MOTUs have...

I take it the merger will merge my keyboard and the BCF midi streams into one, and then my Capy will distinguish what needs to go where internally i.e. BCF midi to the VCS and midi note info to whatever Sound I'm using?
