Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Cool -- I wrote a little utility that converts the "raw" midi data
from MidiOx to behringer-formatted hex values. A cool feature, btw, if
anyone wants to implement it for one of the editors for the BC2000
would be to capture "snapshots" of midi data at a user-designated port
and convert them to .tx on the fly, so the user could assign them to a
button. I could try to write something like that (assuming the base
code is in one of the .net languages) myself if anyone wants to share
code. 
 
Thanks for your help -- I did a proof-of-concept test working manually
with my converter, next I'm going to add stripping out the extra B0
messages and see if the K2000 will respond correctly.
