Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Just an update - my BCR2000 arrived and I am quite happy with it.

Regarding the BCN44-NRPN-Bug and support of negative NRPNs in BCN44 and BCR2000, I sent a bug report / feature request to Behringer Germany via http://www.behringer.de/EN/Support/Online-Support.aspx 

They instantly (!) replied that they forwarded it to the development team....

I'm not sure if this is enough for them to create firmware updates, so I'd like to encourage other BCN44 / BCR2000 / Micron owners to contact Behringer as well.

Cheers,
Andi

(I know about the negative NRPN issue and also would love to have a mode where the encoders work contineously through 16284..16383,0,1..127. But this is not the point here.)

Also, MSB 127 is never sent, thus I cannot send values 16284...16383 which are needed for negative parameters of my Micron.
