Re: bcf2000 with PT
Cool, glad that at least we achieve some kind of progress. Ha, Agree, the shift usually means selection, right?! Let's read some more, who knows, maybe we find some trick to jump between locate points.

We can adjust track pan values; the "Store" button toggles the encoders between L/R for stereo track panning, while the 4 "Encoder Group" buttons under the screen determine the track send levels. It's possible to adjust with the encoders (Send A, B, C or D). We can record-enable tracks by pressing the corresponding track encoders, and/or select them by holding Shift (the "Edit" button) and pressing the encoders. The Encoder Groups control the send levels of a track. E.g. We set up the reverb sends on Send A of every track, press the first Encoder Group button and the encoders now control the level of Send A, and the LED rings will show the level. If there is no send on a track, the LED's wont light up. We can do this for the first four sends (A-D) of each track by using the 4 Encoder Group buttons. So, yeah, we can push down on the rotary dials, lol! The record enabled is a huge help. Concerning plugin's; Curious that if we open up plugins in pro tools now there is a red box around some of the switches and dials that was not there before started using the controller. That looks like pro tools showing which dials, faders and switches can be controlled by the bcf2000. Well, it goes a diagram that shows the control mapping for the BCF2000 in Baby HUI emulation mode: http://www.behringerdownload.de/BCF2...tion_modes.pdf We can pretty much just use the template above to see the button layout and look at the manual below, for the baby hui controller to see what every single function does in the bcf2000 and how to do it. There is no mention of plugin control in the manual though, too bad... http://www.mackie.com/pdf/BabyHUI_UG.pdf Didnt find stuff concerning moving to locate points. I’m pretty much quoting, bringing the experience of guys with good vision, anyway hope this helps.
