Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

i'm happy to see it's useful...it took me months to understand and 
set up things on cubase, it's time to share the info (unfortunately i 
couldn't find the time to write something more comprehensive about 
it)!

also you can give a look at www.midevice.com - they too have a 
wrapper, i tried the first version and didn't like it, but the new 
one could deserve a try (just my opinion, of course!)

good luck :)
