Indeed.
In fact, the emulation these links discuss works via standard BCR presets.
And presets on both the BCF and the BCR can only be accessed in standard B-Control ("bC") mode - in fact, on the BCR this is the ONLY mode.
So the particular BCR presets mentioned in these links provide "software" Mackie emulation, in contrast to the BCF's in-built Mackie emulation, which is provided by the BCF's firmware (vs. 1.06 and later).
Actually I have never quite understood why Mackie emulation wasn't added to the BCR's firmware too.

Mark.
