Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Edward
I was hoping some of the expert Live users here would be better able to
help.

> I have decided it might be easier at this point to build a static
mapping for the bcr rather than to try a Mackie emulation or some
control surface. In the midi prefs of Ableton I just have the remotes on
for the rme digiface input and output midi ports, and have no control
surface selected.

If you have selected any one of the BCR USB modes then this turns the BC
into a Midi interface and you will need to select it in the Controller
section of Live.
Send the 'dump' to the BCR and then the tracks will correspond to the 8
columns of the BC (called Instant mapping see the tutorial help under
Control surfaces to see the mapping)
I am unaware of how you get to channel 9 to 16. In Sonar you simply
press the <> switches to move by 8 tracks.
I can see that the Novation has a next/previous 8 tracks so perhaps you 
could search out what Midi messages it sends to achieve this and program
the BC in the same way.

Not that I am aware of.  Anyone else know???

each is a mic input. I would like to be able to select any one of the 16
tracks by turning one encoder on the lower row of the bcr. So when the
encoder is all the way counter clockwise track 1 is selected. When the
encoder is all the way clockwise, track 16 would be selected, and each
track in between would be selected as the encoder is turned.

So, I guess you would like to have a single 'strip' on the BC and select
the track that it would apply to?
Perhaps blocks of 8 might be easier.
