Are you aware that you do not need BC Manager nor other software to map third party vstis like Diva or Kontakt? You can do all that on the BCR controller itself while it is connected to your DAW. Sometimes it is quicker to use BC Manager and easy to export or import your templates. On the other hand, BC Manager has a lot of extra functions built in. I donĚ't know nothing about your control script but when it only works for Ableton live, than that is already the biggest limitation and difference with BC Manager.
Thanks for your response!
I hear what you're saying but I think (again, I'm looking for info so
I'm not that knowledgeable about Isotonik/Sigabort) you're wrong about
the one-trick pony aspect.
True, the Sigabort script is a dedicated Ableton Live script. Seems
pretty awesome having all (or most) native plugins pre-mapped but I
think -and this was part of my original question-
you need the tool PrEditor to use the Sigabort Live Script and it does
mention mappings for Kontakt and Diva -which are 3rd party VST's- so
this makes me think PrEditor works similair to BC Manager in that regard.
I only work with Ableton Live now. Like I mentioned I am a musician
first and when I discovered the virtual DAW environment I went crazy (in
a positive way) wanting to read about every possible plugin and own
every piece of hardware
and lost months deciding on a proper DAW and all. But it was a
rabbithole for me so I decided I should settle for one DAW (Live) and
every piece of hardware I own is second hand or B-stock (musician = poor
;)).
So although logically this would mean I'd go for the (free) BC Manager I
find all the technical stuff daunting enough as it is and if PrEditor
would be only a little bit easier I'd choose that so I';d really like
some more info about this tool.
I was hoping the original poster would chip in as well, since he was the
one raving about it ;)
In any case I do appreciate all the feedback as this group seems to be
the go-to place for BCR/BCF anywhere and it's nice to see people are
keeping it alive.
