Hey, all! I just put up a post and after a bit of thought, I realized that the post would neither help me or anyone else, so here's a new post complete with REAL questions (not just frustrated rantings!). The Behringer guys say that I know far more than I give myself credit for, but my grasp on those concepts is fleeting and not long after a moment of clarity - I am back at "huh???". So I shall waste no more of you guys' time, here's the questions (oh, there will be questions...): 1.) I've already figured out how to press one of the top buttons w/the power button to choose the emulation of my choice (Sonar, Cubase, etc.), so once inside the program of my choice, how do I (or do I) select a preset? Is it necessary? Why set the presets at all? 2.) I use Midi-Ox (it was the only thing that really worked for me). I have used that utility to send .syx messages to my BCF2000, locking the presets in by pressing "store" once, pressing the preset arrow keys until I get to the preset bank of my choice, and then pressing "store" again to lock them in. Did I do this right? If so, why won't BC Manager recognize them? BTW - why won't BC Manager receive data from my BCF2000 even though it recognizes it and can SEND data? 3.) I hear gossip about encoder groups (those 4 buttons at the top right)...um, how in name of Kansas do I use THOSE? What do they mean to me (see my computer set-up and software used at the bottom for a slight resume of what I do)? 4.) What's the big difference between emulation modes and presets? If I cannot change the controls while in emulation mode, then why do I need the presets? Can I use the presets without emulation mode? 5.) I prefer MIDI-learn with some things, but how do I access that? 6.) There is a BCF2000 manual specifically for Cubase SX3 out there, but to my chagrin, it was in FRENCH!! Does anybody have this .pdf in English?? My specs/profile: Computer: AMD Athlon x64 X2 5000+, 2.6ghz Dual Core 4gigs (3.5 usable) DDR SDRAM Windows XP SP3 (fully updated) ASUS M3A78-T Motherboard (2) Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 750gig SATA HDD (2) ASUS 20x DVD -/+ DVD Burners w/Lightscribe Mbox Mini Line 6 Toneport UX2 BCD3000 (which works fine, no issues there) BCF2000 (the problem child) M-Audio Evolution MK-461c Controller Keyboard Software in Question: Cubase SX3 (this is the MAIN P.I.A. - pain in the ass) Reason 3 (It works, but how do I modify the controls??) Ableton Live (haven't tested with BCF or BCD yet) With all that being said, I hope someone will be able to help me so that this post can help others. For those that are going to help - thank you ever so much. Do NOT waste your time answering if you: A.) Predictably answer in language that will make no sense to most of us or B.) Deliver a smug, sarcastic remark designed to make us feel like the last ones in class to learn how to scribble or C.) Say "just do this/that" without telling us HOW to do it: Not only will it be a waste of valuble suicide time, but it helps no one. I'd rather get a little help from a human being, than a lot of help from a smug asshole! Look forward to hearing from y'all! Ciao!
