Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

what i'm looking to do is program buttons on the bcr2000 to make my
sequencer (ableton specifically) jump around while playing. for
example: button one would always bring me back to the 1st beat of the
song, button 2 would always jump to the 2nd quarter note, button 3 the
third, etc. I think this would be pretty handy for some live jamming.
any idea if this is possible and how to implement it?

Are there keyboard shortcuts to do this kind of thing in Live or
multiple keyboard shortcuts that could be run... with autohotkey?

I have been playing with autothotkey recently, lots of fun.
It will do a lot more than you might think.

How would you do it with the mouse or  computer 
keyboard?

As for doing it with the bcr... well...
Possibly with markers at the spots to you want to play.
You could write your markers hmm... again I go back to keyboard short
cuts - is there one to go to certain marker, like go to marker 1 go to
marker 2, etc.. I have not looked at the keyboard shortcuts.

In my experience on doing mackie emulation, I don't think that ableton
will let you use the mackie to go to specific marker. If I remember
correctly - the commands it will respond to from the mackie are set
marker, next marker and previous marker.  I am not using them much tho...

I don't know if you can map controllers to the markers using lives
midi mapping either?  Markers seems like the way tho...

Anyone have other ideas?
If we can get it working it would make a nice addition to the bcr live
mackie presets.
