Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Sorry to all who downloaded version 5.0
James found errors in the sysex.
They should be fixed now.
He also asked about faders on top.

This new files includes two presets, 
#21 with faders/working leds on top and 
#22 with vpots/nonworking leds on top. 
   (Why leds don't work on #22 - the vpots are relative midi data)
I will update the website too.

Website updated with latest version as well.

James,

I am not a dj at all.
I can't really advise.
Seems like you might want to make use of all the equipment tho.
I might map my pitch bend or my mod wheel on the 02 to the xfader in live.
That controller should be built to expect being tweaked alot...
You might also be able to use the midi notes on the 02 for something...
I suppose you really need to figure out what you want to control.

Please let me know if the updated presets are working as expected.
Thanks for testing.
Kip

of the oxygen or indeed another piece of equipment (I don't mind
buying more).

Hello James! I imagine this is a problem with Ableton rather than the BCF. This is normal when the level of latency is not the most ideal for your audio card. 

James you never have to use the mackie thing.
You could map those controls using the controller map function in Live.
If you the set you will use is pretty stock, than you can save it as
you template and make all you new livesets based on that set.
However, if you already have sets... that is a different story.
If you move tracks around or delete them... again. different story.
It sounds like some sort of hybrid mackie will be best for you.
You can also map controls to the ascii keyboard.
For a while I had a live set with 1, q, a , z to play 4 clips on track 1.
Again, great if nothing moves around... as soon as you do, it gets all
screwy.

point of view. James.

BCR2000Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:02:59 +0000One other question, also
relating so sound problems. When I run Ableton Live 6 on another
machine with Vista, it has terrible problems playing tracks. Any tune
I try and play comes out very 'jumpy', hinting there is something very
wrong. Any ideas what could be the matter? Thanks,James.

> Hi, I'm currently teaching myself how to DJ with Ableton using the
BCR2000 in mackie mode.  One BIG problem I have is that I am noticing
significant 'artefacts' (sound distubances or interuptions - 'blips',
'pips' or static sounds) when I navigate around Ableton. The problem
seems to be worse when I have lots of larger clips loaded, such as
full music tracks. i.e. the problem isn't so pronounced when I am just
playing short loops and samples. When i use the rotary to scroll left
to right across the channels, I often get a lot of these artefacts.
Using the buttons to select a channel also can cause it. If I'm going
to be performing live, any sound interuption / disturbance is
obviously a bit deal, and so I would like to know how to avoid it. Any
help would be gratefully received. Thanks,James.
