Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi,

The BCF's Baby HUI emulation works fine in Pro Tools, but the automation mode select function does not, because PT is expecting HUI commands (not Baby Hui commands). I got it working by using Bome's Midi Translator for adding the right HUI command, so that channels are selected AND their auto mode is changed at the same time. 

It would be cool if this function could be programmed into the BCF's firmware, making it work directly with PT without using Bome's MT. 

I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know even where to start, but if someone is willing to try (or if someone just wants to use this trick): 

The BCF (B.Hui) transmits two midi commands for each action: 
B0 0F 00 B0 2F 41 (press) and B0 0F 00 B0 2F 01 (release). The third byte ("00") is the BCF's channel number (00-07).     

(For channel 1 for example) I add the commands B0 0F 00 B0 2F 44 (press) and B0 0F 00 B0 2F 04 (release), and this does the trick.

This allows one to compile a custom program (in assembly or C) and run that on the BCF2000 or BCR2000 (although I haven't tested the latter). The other way around is also possible: downloading firmware from the device for analysis.
