Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Royce

I'll see if I can extract a bulk dump. (I can't believe how scatological that sounds!)

Mm, I thought so.

Ever hopeful

Ah!

> As far as I know when you change a preset remotely (PC message send to the BC) this message will be output. PC message not Note message so you are out of luck I think.

Oh...

Ah, hmm. Sounds like I may have met my ability limit!

Oh well, it was worth the speculation. I'm always on the lookout for new uses to put things to. I'm just not always technically capable following through. Thanks for putting you mind to it Royce.

All the best,
