woah... thanks a lot for that.  I finally received the bcr2000 today.
 I'm a little disappointed at how large this thing is.  Anyways I just
downloaded your editor and I'm having trouble so far...

All I did so far was copy/paste your example command into the default
script, replacing what was already there for encoder 49.


$encoder 49  #Osc 1 Waveform - DW on channel 2
  .minmax 0 16
  .tx $F0 $42 $31 $03 $41 $02 val $F7



I then pressed "send" at which point I see the midi in light on the
bcr2000 light up for a couple seconds.  I have midi-out of the
bcr-2000 going into the midi-in on the DW-8000.  Rotating encoder 49
isn't changing OSC1 waveform. 

The Midi Channel is set to 2.

I still don't really understand that sysex string.... but I just
noticed that you uploaded a DW-6000 patch.  I'm going to try and study
that to see what I can figure out.  Thanks
