Encoder resolutions have been discussed several times in this forum, so you may try searching the message archive.

If I remember correctly, Ableton Live (unlike e.g. Propellerhead Reason) doesn't actively configure the BCF; if this is so, you can (indeed: must) set up a preset on the BCF manually.
In any case you can't change encoder resolutions in the BCF's Mackie emulation modes ("MC C" etc.).

Under Windows, creating a preset with custom encoder resolutions is relatively easy, i.e. via Royce's BCn2000 Script Editor or my BC Manager.
On a Mac, you could try running either of these Windows programs in a virtual machine (guest OS), or you could first create the preset's syx file on a Windows machine and then upload this file to the BCF from your Mac by means of a syx uploader.

For all the technical details of custom resolutions, see section 17.3 of "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf", available from my website at http://home.kpn.nl/f2hmjvandenberg281/ .

Hope this helps,
Mark.
