Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I have a P2k and an XL1 turbo and I would love to do this.
You can change a heap of parameters using CC (12 in you case) , but then again they are sitting in front of you on the Command ststion

This is how computers count in -ve numbers (14 bit midi in this case)
When you add a negative number to its positive mate you should get 0
10 + -10 = 0
-123 + 123 = 0
Work out the binary and add them together and you'll see.

Can't be done as far as we have found out.
If it wasn't 14 bit in the sysex you can fool the BCR, but in Emu's case... nope unless perhaps Bome's translator would do it.

JanE is writing an editor for the P2k gear and we are adding support for the BCR including (hopefully) feed back to change the BCR when you change the preset, but it's not ready.

At the moment you can't do it, unless you want to rewrite the firmware of the BC 

Sorry
