Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I did some more tweaking with the BCR2000 last night.  Tried every
channel, used BC Manager to mess with the SysEx a little bit, and then
for the final test, I reprogrammed it to send a mod wheel controller
to the YS200...  none of the above worked.  It's my BCR2000 afterall.
 For some reason, it still works via USB, and I feel that I'm done
with FM synthesis for a while anyway (at least until I can find a
DX200 again), so I'm just going to sell the YS200 and get some more
analogs.  Thanks a ton for the help, though!
