So using these tools is not an option. I did look at the output from Midiquest and for Cutoff its sending this:

I find Midi Quest buggy too.
I gather the Bit01 (not Bit1) is the same as the Bit99.
From the manual found http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/bit99.php
Sysex Bit01 message has the format
F0 25 1c CC DD DD... F7
c= channel (I assume it is 0 to F)
CC is command - 07 is bulk dump
DD is the data
If you have all the 00s in the data, as above, you will change the all the other parameters so MidiQuest is wrong.
Perhaps as you build up a patch it will keep your earlier changes to fill in the details.
The only thing I can think of is writing a program that has a default patch (or can select from all the patches).
When it receives a CC message from the BC it places the value in the correct slot based on the CC channel and controller number and then outputs the sysex.
An extension to the program would be to create a library and select the patch from a list.
Not having the ability to output a patch on the Bit01is a pain. The Bit 99 can do it.
But you could save your newly created patch into the library as the program would know the data.
Best of luck
