Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Thanks for this head start. Can you offer any advice on BC manager ? Haven't been able to get it to recognize my APC at all no matter what I try

I am trying to avoid having to match up the track focus manually with each controller as the BCF has no display for me to see in live.  It would be extremely helpful that the 'red box' for the apc is the master bank focus and when moved all of my controllers focus on the same bank. Is anything like this possible ?
