Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi all,

I've just purchased a BCR2000, and it's been fairly easy to configure it to _send_ MIDI messages to VST synths and DAW. I use it with both Forte (www.brainspawn.com) and FL studio.

So far, I've only been able to get the feedback feature to work with the OP-X Pro VST synth (www.sonicprojects.ch) within Forte by using their EHCO plugin, which basically echoes MIDI to other ports. I'll pass on FL Studio's lack of proper MIDI support (Grrrr...)

The OP-X manual states the following: "OP-X PRO now supports full midi cc feedback for endless encoders with parameter settings dump on program change [...] The plugin's midi output has to be routed back to the controller device for this application". I guess that's the reason I was able to send feedback to the BCR2000.

That brings me to my question: 

How is the feedback feature implemented ? Is it simply a matter of sending CC messages to the BCR2000's MIDI port ? I haven't seen any info on this in the BCR's manual.

Assuming that it's relatively easy to send such messages, how come there seems to be so little support for the BCR2000 within the DAW world ?

My reasoning is that if the OPX-Pro is capable of "simply" dumping its parameters on Program Change, why don't others ?

And in the case where there's really no feedback support, for example in a DAW, how could one "hack" this ? Would it be possible to listen to Program Change messages and react to them by reading the VST synth parameters and send them back to the BCR ?

Thank you all for your time.
