BCF2000 & Cubase 5
2009-09-24 by vras23
Is here anyone who has suitable setup for Cubase 5? I found there are two (3 ways) to control Cubase with BCF2000: 1) using Mackie Control protocol emulation - this is very confortable with switching through 8-channel banks and setting levels with motorized faders(Cubase shows selected banks with white stripe across ch 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 etc.), however pots are mapped to functions that are completely 99% useful /like embedded EQ that I do not use at all - I often use external VST EQs, or for example channel panorama - this is what I usualy set once in the project and do not want to control it through remote controller! And finaly, the nightmare is a risk that these unwanted functions and parameters will be changed in Cubase project unintentionaly after random touching of some BCF pot!) Just the faders, solo, mute and start/stop are usable functions, almost everighing else is unwanted. 2) using Macie Hui - dtto. 3) using Generic remote protocol (sysex and xml) seem to be the most usable - this offers good ways to customize. My question is related with transport functions like forward/backward - Cubase uses separate control for Forward and Backward commands, scrub up, scrub down, zoom in, zoom out, nnudge right, nudge left etc...Using this scheme, there is a way to control zoom (for example) with two BCF pots - the first for Zoom_In and second for Zoom_Out. There is very nice behringer script language to create sysex file for BC?2000 and easy way to map these settings inside Cubase, but my question is: is there any way to associate BCF rotary controller (pot) with two CC messages - send one CC(1) when turing right and send another CC(2) when turning left?? This would be great to control transport or zoom confortably, each function with its one pot...
