Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi all, I'm a new user of the BCR2000 and find myself a little confused by remote scripts for Ableton Live. Is there anywhere I could download one so that I can see where everything is and adjust it to my needs? The one in my user folder is, well, sparse and has no real indication of how to actually lay things out in the text file.

Actually, rereading this I see it appears as if I haven't even run a search for this answer. I have run a search but find all the results confusing.

Guys,

I can tell you now there is no established way to get the bcr to control all vst parameters without you manually mapping every single one. The automap feature only will allow you to control 8 variables at a time so you will be stuck with that number of parameters at your fingertips. The solution is to program each bank for different vst's and switch banks. If you use macros for your more common vsts (eq, compression, reverb, etc) the 8 parameters seem to work out just find most of the time. I have been trying to figure out how to get it to control every vst parameter for any vst just by clicking on them but the solution is not apparnet and the closest I have seen anyone get is with this max4live patch http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1416/bcr2000-control . I looked deep into the scripting stuff as well and the way auto map and the user control scripting works: it still limits you on how many vst parameters you can wrangle at a time. I would suggest you d/l this program http://mountainutilities.eu/bcmanager and program all your banks to be on separate channels. For example Program 1, assign all the knobs to unique cc numbers and send them all out channel 1, for bank 2 copy and paste the first bank and change them all to channel 2, etc etc. The blue handling/automap cc#'s are cc1-cc8 on channel 1. If you map 8 knobs to those cc numbers on bank 1, then you can have blue handling/automapping assigned to any 8 knobs you wish. I'm currently trying to resolve this issue with my own max4live patch but there are extreme routing issues to deal with, I will post if I come up with a solution. I hope this helps, if anyone else has got this working I'm all ears.

Please, can someone direct me to a simple guide to getting this working on Mackie mode. And I stress the word simple. Surely somebody has done one?

Never mind, panic over. I suspect it would have all been a lot faster if I hadn't searched for an answer and just worked it out myself.

Yes, mapping it manually works fine, it isn't too bad for one or two VSTs, but it would be good to learn how to do it automatically (or even semi-automatically), I don't have Max yet, but the thread below looks promising, it seems that Live can auto-map up to 128 parameters via snapshot. Does that make sense?

You can only automap 8 variables at a time. This is what it says in the ableton documentation and countless threads on the ableton forum. There is no immediate solution w/o external modification. The max4live stuff would probably be able to do it, however when messing with the current max4live device that is supposedly able to do this, my project goes haywire and things randomly unbind. In search of another solution I came across this: http://stc.wiffbi.com/ which I'm gonna try out and see how it goes. Considering how popular live and the fact that I couldnt find a single person who said they got this working on forums, the solution is either difficult or not possible. Again would love another to chime in and tell me im wrong, this has been frustrating me for weeks..about ready to switch to bitwig.

Man, that's not good news, my friend has max4live I will ask him to give it a try to see - fingers crossed...
