"everyone can make it work for own CS" - sure, maybe, but what about USERS that just want their stuff to work that doesn't?

With BCF2000 you are Behringer's user. CW does not get paid for these devices. There are devices which explicitly declare Sonar support (like Nektar Impact), other do not. You can not make CW responsible for all products from other companies.
 

  I don't know C++ and don't really want to in order to get a BFC2000 to work with Sonar, which it should have done to begin with! :)

You can also ask someone else. But can you without a reason write me a good song, record and give it to me for free for commercial use? May be you can, but I do not think you will. And that is what you are asking from software programmers(from CW or community), till you complain to the producer of your controller (which get money from you to control parameters in software, since these devices can not do anything else).
 

Especially since it used to work and has been broken with no regard!

That is not really true. Before it was different program with different functionality. In respect to EQ, there was one (and only one) "filter", EQ. If in your PC you leave EQ only (and even in case there are other, but EQ is the first in PC chain), this EQ should work as before (it has a bit different parameters since it is "new", so may be not exactly as before). But in case you want use new features in new SONAR, you can not expect all old staff will work with that correctly "out of the box".
 
As I can see, you pay for your site, most probably you have paid for your site design. So you know IT people refuse to work for free   Even you "annoys" your visitors with advertisements and proposal  to donate for the time spend for the site, can you imagine what proper CS plug-in development costs ?

AzSlow - I did not pay for my site design - I built it.  I do web hosting as part of my day business (a small part) and I host on that platform - so at some level I pay for that myself.  Yes, I built my own site and I have the ads and popup because I'd appreciate donation for the time I put in for the specific reason that I created videos to help people use their Cakewalk software.  The reason I put the videos up there was for the community and I have honestly made next to nothing from that site.  In fact, I only relatively recently put the pop up donation request on there in hopes of making enough to get Sonar X3 - which I bought after getting the funds in other ways.  I really have made about $5.00 on the drum map video - and maybe $25 over the last several years from any other donations.  I have not even made enough on the ads to get a google payout - so "whatever".  These sorts of videos should really be provided by the software or hardware maker, but they weren't, so I created them.  Even in the case of the BCF2000, I created the videos for others who use these controllers who wanted to get a better use from them within Sonar specifically.  I would be happy for Cakewalk or Behringer to be interested in using these videos, really for a minimal fee (like one of those new Behringer devices or whatever - for as many units as my video might have helped them sell).  I actually did a similar thing for the graphics software that I use and they happily gave me a copy of the software for a few tutorial videos that I created for them :).
 
Really, I'm not asking anyone from the community to create these for free, and I really DON'T think it's Behringer's responsibility either, because they put in the Mackie compatibility so that they would work with multiple vendors' software, depending on that vendor's support of the Mackie library.  Sonar used to support the Mackie library more fully than they do now.  The EQ part was something that worked before and there is apparently nothing I can do to make it work again - this isn't just some "put your old EQ plugin back and it will work" because it was broken because of the removal of the default track EQ that used to be there that has been replaced by the EQ in the ProChannel, which doesn't allow the Mackie control to control it.  This didn't break because Behringer didn't supply support for it.  It broke because Sonar changed the way that the modules are referenced by the Mackie control system.  As I said above, this is not limited to the Behringer or any other specific device - it affects all devices that use the Mackie Emulation - including the Mackie units themselves. 

Incidentally, I never indicated that this should have been done for free by users - just curious if someone did it or not.
 
I DO think it should be done by Cakewalk, because they DO claim support for the Mackie control, but support less and less of it as the versions go by, with a DLL that hasn't been updated in as many years as the drum maps haven't.

Sorry, I have overseen the About on the designer site
 
In fact, I think the fix will cost me less then an hour-two of work, the problem I do not own VC and I do not have anything to test the result. CW developers have both for sure and probably can do that even faster.
 
I am a bit more relaxed then at the morning, so you are right: why they just do not do this as a "gift" ? May be they have already fixed that for X4 and are going to use it as an addition argument for upgrade... But common, they are not so bad.

So - on an unrelated note - I've decided to take the popup and the ads off the website - and many of the buy it here links (affiliate) - since they are effectively doing no good anyway! :)

 Greetings all... this is my 1st post on this forum so please forgive me if I am breaking any rules or protocols by posting here.. I have been searching the net for the info i need for over a week but im still drawing blanks and at this point I'm desperate LOL! ok here goes..... I recently acquired a bcr2000 and I would like to use it to control my Korg TR-Rack.. Unfortunately I am a midi noob and have no idea how to approach this. I have looked at the midi implementation chart that came with the tr-rack but i don't see how i can get that information (.syx) to my BCR. would anyone be able to help me accomplish this?
 
Sidenote... I have installed BC Manager as I understand it is a helpful tool when configuring the BCR. I even went so far as reprogramming the encoders and buttons on the BCR.. Im still getting familiar with the process(es).. That being said I still have no idea how to get the syx data from my synth to dump to BC Manager and then to my BCR.. i see so many syx files on the net but none for my synth so i guess I have to do it myself. Thanks in advance for any help with this. It is greatly appreciated.. I apologize if my question seems noobish.

If you are still trying to move around syx files google "midi-ox".  This will allow you to move sys-ex files between midi devices.
