Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Royce,

Just curious: on the Mac, how would you convert back to sysex from 
text format, in order to load back into the computer?

On a completely different subject, do you know anything about how the 
BCR/BCF responds to incoming sysex messages from a DAW - such as 
changing the value of a dot display on an encoder?

Take care -
