First results on this!!!  Most encoders seem to work, I tested it with 16 encoders working 
fine.

Next step is the Negative values And the buttons.

I've got 2 more questions:

While editting the hardcore BCR code,

1 How do I use the toggle button to send out a 1 value sysex byte at a time? Each time the 
button is pressed I want the BCR to toggle between 2 values for example

.tx $F0 $10 $06 $06 20 0 $F7

.tx $F0 $10 $06 $06 20 1 $F7

(sorry for mixing hex with normal numbers) 

2 @  Tony Cappelini (I post the question here So everyone can read...

How did you in the end implement the negative parameter transmit thing On the Peavey 
PC1600  (for instance parameters like LFO amount that use ranges (-63/+63))?  

Is it correct that the matrix 1000 has this implemented support for this in a smarter way?
 
Another thing I noticed, was that the BCR sometimes outputs lots of (random) notes and 
sysex values. Has anyone encountered this or is my device malfunctioning?
