What I find out ISN'T doable is saving the presets to the device after all the work. See later sections of the post for the wonderful new challenges THAT brought me.Īnyway, oblivious to future problems, I am happily encoding the BCR2000, which takes some time considering the poorly conceived BC Editor. I start making presets to my liking, using a scheme my meager brain can make sense of - this includes having all volumes and pans in channel one, with CC numbers successive from 0 to 127. So after installing Mandolane on my old laptop, I can get BC Edit to detect the device. If you don't have an older version of OSX, I don't know if there are any other ways to get the stuff to work - I haven't needed to explore this, thankfully. SOLUTION 1.5: Break out my older Laptop which runs Tiger PROBLEM 1.5: Mandolane does not work on OSX Mountain Lion (and Lion and.?) SOLUTION 1: Downloading and installing Mandolane, which allows midi data to be transferred through java. PROBLEM 1: getting BC Edit (behringers lousy application) to detect the BCR2000
#Bcr 2000 windows
If you have access to a windows machine, this may be a better option :-). Windows users have other options, which I couldn't get to work through crossover (windows emulation on mac). Behringer's website has an editor application (B-CONTROL EDIT Version 0.2 beta 3 available here: ), but I soon found this to be horribly outdated and wouldn't work - it requires an outdated version of java, or it won't detect the device. So I wanted to edit the presets from my computer rather than having to do it directly on the device itself. (If you just edit on the device itself and not via computer much of this is not relevant to you - but the next "chapter" is) The first 4 presets/"banks" to get initial levels and pans in the beginning of a mix, and then 8 banks setup similarly to earlabs' suggestion in the post referenced above.Įditing the presets of the BCR2000 using a computer What I wanted to do now was to was to lay out the BCR2000 to my tastes. The section describes what to look out for).įiddling around with the settings on the BCR2000 (new woes begin) After editing, I lost the feedback obtained by following the directions above. (note: if you want feedback from reaper and plan on / already have done editing of the presets, then check out the section "Getting feedback from Reaper to the Behringer unit (LED indication of volume etc.)". It solves two problems I had:Ģ) Getting feedback from Reaper to the lights on the BCR2000.
#Bcr 2000 trial
(.BEFORE fiddling around with any settings on the BCR2000.)Īfter some serious searching and trial and error, I found this post by earlabs. (windows users looking for info: look here and here for the klinke stuff.
#Bcr 2000 mac
This thread is mainly to let fellow mac users know what I did to make it work and what I plan to do to tailor it to my needs, but windows users may find something useful here too. Since I'm on a mac, I couldn't use the klinke plugin for MCU emulation, which seems to be popular. Just got the Behringer BCR2000 that I want to use as a control surface mainly for mixing. I've tried making this long post a bit more readable by adding headlines, so people can skim through it if they need specific info. My experiences so far with getting the BCR2000 to work (probably relevant to BCF2000 users as well).
