Blaine,

Yea, you helped me get the BCR working perfectly with the Hawk and NRPN's. I'm running version 2.55, boot code 1.98. If you track down a BCR, set the data type on it to NRPN, set the global 16 on the Hawk to 0, then assign a CC# to a dial and that's that. After using it for the past few months, I can't imagine using anything else with the Hawk. Hope you get it working soon.

I was real excited to use this thing with the HAWK since it has so many controls and especially the aftertouch, which is really cool when programmed to open/close the filter :)  It's my first aftertouch capable keyboard.
