I have come to the conclusion that it might be better to add a large touchscreen monitor to my system and just have the vsti's on it. I know it's not ideal and won't feel quite the same but I don't see any other option.
If anyone out there can tell me, using idiot-proof instructions how to set it up the bcr2000 in this way I'll take you to my local pub and buy you an unhealthy amount of beer :)
