Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Do you have a PDF version of the manual we could look at?

All I could find was this, which is the 99 (I guess you get an extra stick of chocolate in the ice cream cone ?)

http://www.pierregander.com/bit/bit99_manual/CrumarBit99Manual.pdf

And it seems to me (no expert though!)

1 - you can use midi for limited receive functions
2 - you can use midi for limited transmit functions
3 - the rest is full syx dump of a preset.

There doesnt seem to be any method to dump individual info.
So this to me means either

1 - software edit (the format looks really nicely trivial so you could hack a small script together to generate this)
2 - a hardware box that you make your own controller for ... move the controls (could even be the BCR!) when you are happy with the changes, send the whole sysex and the machine will obey

But again, from casual reading of the manual I dont see how to do this individually.

You would need to pay particular attention to the 99 manual where is says all bytes are "doubled" ie 0x9F --> 0x0F 0x09 so you would have to encode your transform to be cognizant of this way of encoding/decoding the sysex.

But it seem the output is only 72 - 74 bytes (I am guessing they need a 0xF0 -> 0x00 0x0F and 0xF7 -> 0x07 0x0F but this just looks plain wrong! So if you already know the format then cool, else I guess analyze some dumps in a hex editor and spot the pattern, or throw some this way and we can probably spot it.

Apologies if you already know all this stuff (and apologies if my quick speed read is giving you a bum steer!).

If i got a correct sysex string for lets say Cutoff, can the BCR pass on the variables to the synthesizer when turning the knobs? Does the BCR even accept so much data to be programmed ?

It 'learned' something alright, but it looks like whatever i choose in the software editors cutoff, reasonance or whatever, the synthesizer interprets this as a program change for all the midi it the BCR learned.
