Like I wrote, I know someone who at the moment is mapping the BCR with Live 9. If he gets the job done I might ask him for the template and I'll be more than happy to share so keep the BCR floating for now... ;)
Hey Maan... did you see the post I just made... haha-ha. I'm on the verge of taking this down to the river and seeing how water-tight it is...
auto-mapping has failed for me so far - only the first set of functions work, i.e Operators A & B Oscillators only - nothing more.
I can see that even for someone like me, the midi learn function is fairly straightforward... but with auto-mapping not working, does that mean I need to go to every device I might wanna use, and set it up manually? Do you customize the BCR mappings for every Ableton project (and save that to where?)? Or do you...... gah.... I've run out of words..
Hasn't someone already done the hard work on this? lol So I can just grab and upload their template upload it it to the BCR (with a nice pdf of the actual mappings - coz that's vital imo),and control Ableton's Devices with no fuss?
Agreed on Yahoo groups... feels like the format hasn't changed since 1999.
