Well, that seems to put paid to that idea. In a perverse sense that's
actually GOOD news for me - it will make writing the editor easier,
but really it's a pity.

However, this lack of "peripheral MIDI features" doesn't really
surprise me, given the fact that they've also stripped the BCN of any
preset data (like "send snapshot on/off" etc.).

Do you mean you can't send a "data request" message to the BCN? That
wouldn't be NICE, but not disastrous: the user will then simply have
to perform the preset dump from the BCN to the editor manually. (It's
the same with the Behringer FCB1010 foot controller, if I remember
correctly.)
(I assume you DON'T mean that the BCN doesn't receive the very preset
dumps it SENDS? That at least should be possible.)

Mark.
