iF YOU HAVE THE bEHRINGER prESETS INSTALLED. Select Preset 1. Then you
need to setup Cubase to respond to your config. I sent you a personal
e-mail with my Cubase Generic Remote setup. It's easier to understand
than starting from scratch.
After you import the .XML, make sure your input and output are
BCF\BCR2000(1) (that's the names that my cubase shows).
In the top window you'll see all the parameters that were mapped in my
setup (Channels 1-16 with FX1 and FX2, Pan and volume controls, along
with solo and mute). All you need to do is select the parameter you
want to map in the top window by clicking it,than click on 'LEARN' to
the right of that window, turn the knob you want on the BCF\BCR to
control that function, and voila! You've successfully mapped your
first control! Repeat for the additional knobs\faders until you've
mapped all available parameters.
Hope this helps...
