BC Manager 2.4.0 released!
2012-08-23 by Mark v.d. Berg
Hi everyone, BC Manager 2.4.0 is now available from the Mountain Utilities web site: http://home.kpn.nl/f2hmjvandenberg281/ New in this version: Internal data changes: - When sending a Global Setup to a BCF/BCR2000, the Device ID is no longer included. (This avoids mid-stream connection loss.) - In SysEx files containing BCL data, the 'generic' device ID ($7F) is stored. - Support for Reason 6.5.1's map files for the BCF/BCR2000. SysEx model definition files: - ManufacturerID can now consist of multiple bytes. - Seven SysEx model definition files for the Elektron Machinedrum, written by Bob Svitilla. Many thanks to Bob! Improvements to the GUI: - Windows that were open when the previous session of BC Manager terminated reappear exactly where they were. - The 'Test hardware' dialog box is more informative. - The 'Insert SysEx parameter' dialog box displays a definition file's Comment field as a scrollable, word-wrapping multi-line text box. Peripheral MIDI utilities: - Completely new: the 'MIDI program changer' window: this allows you to send MIDI Program Change messages prefixed by Bank Select MSB/LSB messages, in any combination. (This can be useful for troubleshooting synths that seem 'unwilling' to change programs.) - In the MIDI keyboard window, a note's loudness is determined by the mouse position. Enjoy!
