BCR2000 quick question
No, but the ring of LEDs give a visual indication (as long as the DAW, or whatever you are controlling, sends MIDI back to it). Great peice of gear for the price.
I finally took the plunge and configured mine to use Mackie emulation and Huskervu. When I don't need the flexibility of SFP, I run in XTC mode in Ableton Live 6. With the BCR acting as a Mackie control, I'm able to control synths like Solaris or Pro-Wave, etc. I get visual feedback from Husker about what parameter I'm adjusting, and I can page through parameteres 8 at a time (no control over which parameters are in each bank, unfortunately). No manual mapping at all.
It's not ideal, but it's a heck of a time saver when you are in "jam and compose" mode vs "tweek Solaris for 3 hours and forget to record anything" mode.
Cheers,
Brent

Huskervu is a nice little app, works great with my BCF too
Although since I'm still on Logic PC I prefer using Midi CC/sysex etc because I can route controls directly to whatever I want in the environment. Also I've noticed that the BCF's MC implementation seems to come with a lot more cpu overhead? In Live & Logic both...

thanks guys, glad to hear it's working well for you...
I don't use it myself anymore, so haven't looked at any enhancments, and it's sort of perfect as it is
Brent happy to pass the C# source code on if you want it, just PM me...a few people have asked for it since I wrote it, but I haven't seen any any 'super' versions come out yet...
p.s thanks for the virtual beer
