Thanks Royce. Reading your answer I think that the real issue will be
programming Bcf with Microwave I. I have all sysex parameters for this
machine but it doesn't output any sysex messages at all. If I change a
parameter Bcf simply doesn't react. I'm not a midi newbie so I think
every cable is connected well. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the
Bcf mode? Which one to use? Usb 1-2-3-4 or S (midi) mode 1-2-3-4? 
Thanks
