The Behringer USB driver vs. 1.2.1.3 ends up in Device Manager as
"B-Control Midi (10/19/2005,1.2.1.3)" under "USB Composite Device".
Works perfectly in my case.

One thing: if you go to the USB driver's "Properties" -> "Properties"
-> "MIDI Devices and Instruments" -> "Behringer MIDI Device" and click
the "Properties" button, "Use MIDI features on this device" should be
selected, otherwise things won't work. (I can't imagine that this is
the problem, since this setting is the default, but you might check it
just to be sure.)

By the way, I would recommend you try fixing your USB driver problem
in normal BCF mode, not in some emulation mode, because in an
emulation mode USB/MIDI connectivity is harder to test - once
bidirectionality does work in normal BCF mode, you can try emulation mode.

If you're very unlucky, you might have one of those BCFs/BCRs with a
defective USB controller - several people have reported this in our
group over the last year or so. E.g. my own BCR habitually stopped
sending data to the computer (ultimately I had it replaced at the
shop), and Royce has reported a horror story concerning a string of
BCFs that (if I remember correctly) didn't receive data from the computer.

help.

I'm sure they CAN, the question is whether they WILL!

Good luck!
