That's exactly what I need... I think this is good info for the Wiki
too. It's strange that Behringer didn't put this into the manual.

The .tx works fine, thanks!

Can I ask for a small feature the next time you make a change to
BCREditor? It would be nice if it would store the value of the 'Auto
Refresh' checkbox in the .ini file, so the next time I load it and go
to the Save & Get page, it doesn't send out a preset name request to
both my units as it messes up when it receives data from both of them
and I have to click make a change in the 'Sysex Header Bytes' section
and refresh it again to get a valid reading. It would also be good if
it also stored the values set in the 'Sysex Header Bytes' section.

I know it's not too important but it would just be nice to not have to
wait for both devices to finish sending data for no reason before I
could carry on. :)

Thanks Royce,
