Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hey, 

I guess your right. Its strange though that Midiquest and Sounddiver do support the 01 but don't include the sound patches so the info seems always incorrect. 

there is a Bitcontrol vst out there, which of course aint working for me but i know its working for people. There is even a explicit bit01 settings to choose from. So this tool could somehow edit the parameter and is somehow smart enough to send the sysex out to the Bit01. If i could somehow output the sysex string going out from the Bitcontrol vst i might get a better view of what its doing. I also tried the learn function on the bcr and output the vst to the bcr but its not working, grrrrr. 

Most of the patches can be found on the net, maybe i can integrate them into midiquest so it does know the rest of the sysex parameters hmm
