Yes - well you can use the print strips, well, I forget what the
function is called... in BCManager, I am not on a computer with that
on it, but if you are looking at bcmanager and viewing the layout you
can print strips to put on the bcr.

I don't know... I will have to experiment with that.

Yes you hit the bank button, or turned the bank knob, depending on
which mackie preset you are using. All, well most, of the functions
work in groups of 8. So 1-8, bank down 9-16 etc.

There are other presets, however, most ppl end up abandoning them, due
to the reasons I stated in a previous post about mackie mode, I don't
recall the thread but it was about 2 weeks ago.

For you use, you probably will want to roll your own.  Your preset
idea sounds interesting, and it could be a hybrid of the mackie
preset.  My mackie preset has cursors up down on a knob already, just
not the top knob, I can imagine, you would still need a few buttons to
do it. Hmm... maybe not, maybe when you turn the knob it will ch
select as well as cursor up down. Then button push to fire the
selected clip...
So you would need cursor up down on each top knob AND each knob would
have to send out a custom output that selected the track and moved the
up down when you turn it, then the clip fire(zoom I think is mackie
command).  I think cntl (zoom),would stop a playing clip fire.
That might solve that issue as well.

Ok - I will help get you started.
First make sure you have BCmanager running on your machine.
Download my mackie preset, the most recent, is 4.1 I believe. And read
the manual so you know what it can do and play with it a bit.

I can imagine, doing away with say the record arm buttons on the
mackie preset that would make space for this function, and you would
still have all the other stuff from mackie.
Well, some stuff would have to move around...

I will play with this a bit today and upload something... a least a start.
