Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

hi.

i am thinking of picking up a midi controller for software (audition) 
but i am torn between the bcf and the bcr.

by the looks of it, it seems there are more options that you could do 
with the bcr because they have 24 knobs as compared to the 8 faders.  
the question i have is, can you have assigned functions on faders, 
knobs and button and then by the press of a button have a whole new 
set of functions...so on and so forth.

if this is possible, then the additional knobs is not really an issue 
because you can have multiple presets each time you press a button to 
change them.

anyone know?

can you switch from mode to mode with a press of a button to access 
different functions quickly?

they can have 4 functions each. (However, if you run it in Mackie 
emulation mode EVERY button has 3 functions. Though you can't edit 
them yourself!)

yeah ok, so you essentially have 64 assignable controls ((8 knobs + 8 
buttons) x 4 = 64 )

is it that easy?  say i have my first button set as "zoom in" and then 
if i press button 2, the first button then becomes "remove clip" ?  if 
so, im going to pick one of these bad boys up asap.

im probably leaning towards getting the bcr because of the other 
preassigned knobs (more functions taken care of)compared to the 8 
faders of the bcf.  however, if you guys have other opinions please 
share them.

i used a bcr as my primary controller for about 12 months before finally getting a bcf to go along with it. the bcr worked really well with cubase; i had a few
