Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hello everyone,
 I'm a dj and recently i purchased a used behringer BCR 2000 (it's working properly i guess)in order to take my dj sets to the next level.
i wanna be a music producer too someday.   
I would like to know how to use this midi controller with the ableton live. (version 8.2.2, which i installed a few days ago in my laptop).

i searched on google about it and found out a program called "BC Manager" but i've no idea about it and i'm kinda desperate.
i would really like to know how to map this , but the thing is that i'm a total noob and i cannot understand how it works.
finally, i would like to let you know that i want to use the bcr 2000 with the novation launchpad (i think it's a great combination) and the nanokontrol 2.
finally , i'm wondering if there is any custom mapping for my setup)and how to reset my device (if you recommend this to me) because its used, even though i installed the latest drivers '1.10' and everything seems to be fine.
Thanks everybody, I appreciate your time and effort to help me out.

Hi,

I'm new to the forums and new to the BCR so I hace no real experience yet but from what I could find maybe this will help you:

Aside from using an editor like BC-Manager current DAW's have Midi-learn so you could manually assign knobs to work in conjunction with Ableton.

For Ableton (I work with Sonar) there seems to be an option to have the BCR work in 'Mackie Mode' which essentially is a preset that maps the BCR to work in an emulated Mackie environment.

About the routing involved with the novation launchpad and BCR I suggest you look around on the Ableton forums. I did however find a video about how to setup the novation:http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_127202&feature=iv&src_vid=WuV7L4bRkuo&v=KLUqYpMJNpY

As it explains the routing in Ableton (which I'm not familiar with) you might be able to understand how to insert the BCR into it as well.

As for resetting the BCR: When you upgrade the firmware it automatically resets to the factory settings so no need to reset it now.

Hope it'll help you to some extent.
