Re: Changing BCR2000 presets via midi notes

2008-07-11 by sexontony

One stupid question:

If 1 BCR2000 preset can get 1 Mackie Controller surface, can we get 
out of 6 BCR2000 presets 6 "partially independent" Mackie Controller 
surfaces? (Or isn't it easy to make those Mackie surfaces independent 
of each other?)

"Partially independent" could mean:
-  transport functions would be still the same
-  e.g. one could give each Mackie Control a set of 8 tracks and 
instead of using the bank switching method one could switch the 6 
presets (having the advantage that you could directly jump to any of 
these 8 track sets, like 8 tracks for final output channels, another 
8 tracks for drums submixing channels, another 8 tracks for vocals 
submixing channels...)?

6 * 8 = 48 tracks/channels should be enough for many applications. So 
e.g. if you would want to edit the vocals, one note on event, and you 
would have your 8 vocal tracks in front of you, allowing very fast 
switching among "logical channel groups". Here some ideas/examples 
for logical channel groups:

1.  drums
2.  bass
3.  vocals
4.  keys
5.  guitars

So my idea is mainly not sticking just with one single preset if we 
can also use multiple of them parallely if we can give each of them 
useful jobs to do/control.

Has the Mackie mode also any disadvantages or is this the maximum end 
of high-end controlling logic? I am also Ableton Live user, what 
else?  :)

Kind regards,
