Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

the bcf has finally arrived. have got it today. was studying the manual 
whic came but it doesnt even talk about how to set this thing up ??!!
it doesnt mention what firmware is installed inside?
how to set up templats or what ever 
what ever it says are too technical and is all greek and latin to me
i have finally upgraded my comp with 500gb sata hard disk and 4gb ram
can some one help to set this thing up and tell me how to useand 
configure it with my daw  cubase sx3 and plugins??

thanks stefan . finally connected the bcf as u said and updated the 
firmware from 1.03 to 1.10 and also the usb driver. and switched my 
bcf2000 ON on MMC mode 

i tried setting up mackie control in cubase sx device set up under 
remote controller and chose bcf2000(05) in the input and output. and 
then loaded a cpr file . the faders responded. but only for audio 
tracks i was able to use the faders . the vst plugins i used didnt 
respond at all.....

what about loading the cubase preset given in the behringer site? 
should i load it in mcc mode ? or how to load the preset so that i 
will be able to properly link it with cubase. can u please tell me in 
detail?. sorry if i sound so naive. i know i am really dumb. this is 
the first hardware i have got and have not got any experience in 
using it. i have not even seen some one using it.  if i use that will 
i be able to control vst instruments parameter also? where can i 
download this bcmanager from ?.there is no bc manager listed in the 
behringer site?


i have downloaded all the templates from behringer site. really 
breaking my brains to set bcf up in cubase sx3.
 please do help

i'm not absolutly sure, cause i switched from cubase to live a looong
time ago, and i never used a mackie (or emulation) with cubase.

but there a a few things to try:

1. use a virtual display like HuskerVu (or BCFView) if you work in
mackie emulation mode
2. then have a look at the matching emulation template from the
behringer document
http://www.behringerdownload.de/BCF2000/BCF2000_Emulation_modes.pdf

its the upper picture on page 4...

be sure to have the right emulation mode selected (MC C)

if you look close, you see that this template makes use of a 'lower
shift button' and an 'upper shift button' to give you three functions
for each control element.

you will see, that the 'learn' and the 'exit' button have the
functions 'send FX' 'inserts' and 'instruments'.

depending where in your signal way your plugin is, and depending
whether its a fx or instrument, you just hold the matching 'shift'
button and the 'learn' or 'exit' button.

a diplay app like huskerview or bcfview (never tried the second, cause
i've bcr) is absolutly recommended/needed for using mackie emulation
modes. it helps alot to navigate arround.

and i recommend you to print out the template-picture so you can
always have a look the different functions that are assigned to each
control element.

that should allready do the trick

bcmanager is available here in the files section   ;)

and one more thing:

--------> this has nothing to do with 'being dumb' or shit like that..
its just a question of experience  ;)
it's almost 'learning-by-doing' so you will get 'experienced' soon  ;)

check this out and let u know now.yhanks stefan
