Here is a good link that shows the various Midi messages

Sorry my 'Learn' explanation is probably a bit confusing
The BC data is divided in Global, Preset and Controls
Global are settings that effect the unit no matter what preset is selected
Preset are settings are ones that are not attached to a control
Control s are the Buttons, Encoders and Faders
Do you know how to edit 'Preset' data in BC Manager?
Assuming you do (one way is to double click anywhere in the line of the preset you are interested in)
The Dialog that pops up has an Info, Parameters and LEARN Output tabs
Parameters tab - click checkbox Request (ie LEARN output) to enable it.
LEARN Output - Click '+' icon to add a message
Another dialog pops up - you can fill in the name if you want - it's not data that is sent to the BC
Click the icon 'T' to write a line of Midi numbers
Type $BF 126 30 and press OK twice - You're done
The CC message has the following form $Bx Type Value
Where x is $0 to $F (0 to 15) Channel 1 is the number 0 so Channel 16 is the number 15
Type and value are less than 127
$ means the number following is in hexadecimal (hex).
It is easier to work in hex for the first byte of a Midi message (called the Status byte) because a lot of the time the Status byte has the channel number.
$92 Note on channel 3
$B7 CC channel 8
$C10 Patch change channel 11
etc
You can mix Hex and decimal in Mark's editor.
I hope this is clearer.
If not post again.
