I have the BCF in regular default mode & Mackie Control selected in
Ableton as the input.

I'll give this a try but sends are assigned to the same encoder as pan
I think so when I change to send won't they show as being in the
middle by default is i do that?

yes from 0-127 its correct, 0-64 (for example) results in the encoder
around the 90 mark.

Yes i have the Mackie Control listed as control surface with in & out
USB ports selected (well, i actually use midiyoke to output to
huskervu & then on to the port but it works the same either way), as
well as the midi ports enabled for Track & Remote.

Yes I noticed that you cant use the dump button with usb. I could use
a midi port but if i pressed the dump button for the default Mackie
preset in Live I will get the proper mackie script & not the edited
version.

I thought the BCF preset in Live was just rubbish really, very limited
& not really that useful. The default mackie mode is incredible, very
extensive. But i came across this script on the ableton forum & just
loved that it had all the important stuff right there, no shift
keys...all just one button push away. You should have a play with it
