Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Looking for negative value solution Midiquest can do this.....

I tried sending a negative value to a BCR button from a MIDIQUEST demo:

# Generated by BC-Convert. Input was DeviceID 0, ModelID 21

$rev R1
$preset
  .name 'init                    '
  .snapshot off
  .request off
  .egroups 4
  .fkeys on
  .lock off
  .init
$button 1
  .showvalue off
  .default 0
  .mode down
  .minmax 0 127
  .tx $F0 $10 $06 $05 $F7 $F0 $10 $06 $06 $01 $6C $F7
$end

The button generates a string in wich $F0 $10 $06 $06 $01 $6C $F7  obviously is the 
parameter byte ($6C the value) 

Before that it's :  $F0 $10 $06 $05 Does this make any sense to anyone?  Could this mean 
a negative value is sent?
