Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi everyone,

BC Manager 2.4.0 is now available from the Mountain Utilities web site:
http://home.kpn.nl/f2hmjvandenberg281/

New in this version:

Internal data changes:
- When sending a Global Setup to a BCF/BCR2000, the Device ID is no longer included. (This avoids mid-stream connection loss.)
- In SysEx files containing BCL data, the 'generic' device ID ($7F) is stored.
- Support for Reason 6.5.1's map files for the BCF/BCR2000.

SysEx model definition files:
- ManufacturerID can now consist of multiple bytes.
- Seven SysEx model definition files for the Elektron Machinedrum, written by Bob Svitilla. Many thanks to Bob!

Improvements to the GUI:
- Windows that were open when the previous session of BC Manager terminated reappear exactly where they were.
- The 'Test hardware' dialog box is more informative.
- The 'Insert SysEx parameter' dialog box displays a definition file's Comment field as a scrollable, word-wrapping multi-line text box.

Peripheral MIDI utilities:
- Completely new: the 'MIDI program changer' window: this allows you to send MIDI Program Change messages prefixed by Bank Select MSB/LSB messages, in any combination. (This can be useful for troubleshooting synths that seem 'unwilling' to change programs.)
- In the MIDI keyboard window, a note's loudness is determined by the mouse position.

Enjoy!
