The good news is that most modern MIDI software offer a "Learn" function for the software knobs, sliders, etc. Right click on it and just turn the knob you want to control with on you BCx2000 or whatever MIDI controller. Software like Ableton Live, FruityLoops (FL now) and many others let you do it this way. Most offer the ability to select the control surface like the BCF or BCR.

Not so elegant MIDI software still offers a menu to select the controller links. Ambiloop falls in this category, a GREAT looper software with tons of MIDI programmability, but no learn feature. But hey, waddaya want for FREE? Same for Audacity, some MIDI control features and FREE. That's way cheaper than Sonar or Cubase, you just have to work a little harder to get it "controlled".

And the more combative software lets you "program" it (yuk) with your MIDI control.

Then if you're really adventurous, or you have some weird and wonderful ideas that need some custom controls, rpc did his magic for the BCx2000 so that you can do that too.

So don't get discouraged. Dig in and tweak, you'll get it.
