Re: New BCF Preset + Template for Ableton Live w/Mackie Control Emulation

2008-08-20 by Alejandro Frenkel

hi kip,
yes, as far as i could see, one can use "control" with play clip and
paly scene and "option" for multiple select and arm... there is no
overlap, i.e. no one same button has a function with "option" AND
another function with "control". so i figured it was a waste of a
button to use 2 buttons for this (more so in the bcf, where i have
less "rotary buttons" than in the bcr). so with some trial and error,
i found a way to have the button send 2 "note on" commands when
pressed (vel = 127), and two "note-off" (vel=0,) commands when
released... don't know well now which parameters i tweaked, but it's
working. just copy and paste the button in the bc editor... 
your changes very welcomed, i also have a bcr and sometimes use you
preset (though i mostly use it to control plug-ins, and the bcf to
control live).
thanks a lot again and regards,
mago
