BC Manager 1.5.1 available
2008-08-19 by Mark van den Berg
Hi folks! BC Manager 1.5.1 is now available from the "Applications\BC Manager" folder in the BC2000 Yahoo group's file section. This new version has a few nice new features and some improvements. Highlights: Color-coding: if a button or encoder is dysfunctional on the BCF/BCR due to the preset settings (number of encoder groups etc.), its background in the BCF2000/BCR2000 window is pink. (And an ugly shade at that, I'm afraid, but I've never had any dress sense either, so there you are...) The Record MIDI messages dialog box can now apply "running status", which may decrease the number of bytes recorded, so that the recorded messages are more likely to fit in the preset's LEARN output or the element's custom output. In the MIDI input messages window, an extra version of the "Save MIDI file" operation is now available: this version saves all selected MIDI messages with their times set to zero. There are also a few minor improvements to data handling. See the "Version history" section in the accompanying manual for the details on all changes. As usual, you can install directly on top of any previous version. (By the way: the zip-file for vs. 1.5.1 is slightly SMALLER than the one for 1.5.0 - this is simply because I've discovered a switch in the InstallShield installer that somehow compacts Setup.exe a bit...) Enjoy! Mark.
