Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Dear sirs,


I have the chance to get some BCF for dirt cheap in my area. For days now I'm thinking of cascading 2 devices together to control Cubase (SX3 and C5), but I still have some Q's which I hope that the community can help me with.


To round things up:
1) I want to connect 2 BCF via MIDI, while the master BCF is connected to the PC either via USB or MIDI (whatever works best). I have a BCR2000 already connected via MIDI running and setup in Generic Remote mode. So I'll be using 3 Behringer Control devices in the end. They don't interfere with each other, as long as they have individual ID's, no?

2) Both BCF will be in Mackie Emu mode - how do I connect them best, which mode's do you recommend?

3) I'd like to browse through the channels in 1-channel-steps rather than in blocks of 8/16 respectively as well. Is that possible? I've only seen the modules stepping through blocks of 8, but the Emulation Mode manual implies that you should be able to jump by "channels" if you hold down the shift button.

4) Are these two BCFs synced? Meaning, if I jump banks on BCF1, BCF2 follows accordingly. Or do each modules work independent? I've only seen Logic and ProTools work that way, but nothing for Cubase.

6) What about the virtual display for the BCF (Mackie Mode), do I need to load 2 to get an overview of what's going on for both (planned) BCFs, or can one reflect both BCFs simultaneously. I can of course "learn" the functions - which is just as fine with me. Less drivers/loop-back devices. I don't necessarily need that virtual display.


So yeah, this is all for the time being.
Would love to if somebody could cover these questions.


Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
