Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Elea,

this is exactly what was happening. actually i got some help from 
this guy in Canada who has been trying to help me. Eventually he 
sent me a template for SX3 as a basic 8channel mixer control. 
Needless to say it worked. I compared the 2 .xml files in word pad 
and noticed the difference in the flags numbering. when i changed 
my .xml file with these same numbers, it worked. ive been trying to 
find a logical explanation for this, but i guess there is no logic - 
Cubase just screws this part up. Is this a known bug?

anyways, now i have a problem with my push/rotary knob #6 in encoder 
group 1. It doesnt matter what i assign it to it doesnt work. im 
trying to figure out what could be causing it, but the more tests i 
do, the more i think i have a faulty unit.

Another thing, this guy from Canada, set up the 1st 8 push 
button/rotary knobs (encoder group 1) to select the audio track 
(between 1-8). So by pressing the 2nd knob in encoder group 1, Audio 
track 2 is selected. However, it doesnt always work properly. what 
sometimes happens is that i press 1 of these push/rotary knobs (say 
number 3) and sx3 selects audio track 3, but then it would select 
audio track 2, and sometimes bounce back to audio track 3 - this is 
all with 1 press of the push/rotary knob. its almost as if sx3 
receives a message from 1 of the other push/rotary knobs to select a 
different track. i wonder if you could try to set up 1 row of your 
push/rotary knobs to select audio tracks, and see if the same thing 
happens to you. 

i cannot think of why it would jump between selecting tracks.... it 
just doesnt make sense.

So if you
