Hi, Take a look at the Behringer layout and notes I posted as part of the Mackie Display Reader project at http://www.raisedbar.net/MDR/BCF2000SonarMackie%20Mode.htm One question back at you, though, does your BCF's faders assume positions when used with Sonar? The fader motorisation doesn't seem to be happening for me and I haven't had time to take it up with their tech support yet. Best wishes.

If you are using the BCF2000 control surface in Sonar, I have some questions for you. I'm trying to finish up my little notes file on this piece of equipment, and can't find out a few things. The updated file will be available on Phil Muir's site as soon as it is complete, and will hopefully simplify the process of getting blind users up and working with this device. What I have done so far: 1. Hooked up the surface via USB. 2. Turned on the surface in mackey emulation mode. 3. Told Sonar to use it, in mackey emulation mode. So currently, faders 1-8 adjust the volume of their respective tracks, knobs 1-8 adjust panning, and the top button of each strip mutes/unmutes the associated track. Here's what I still need to find out. 1. How do I move the control surface along, so-to-speak, so I can access the next 8 tracks in a project? 2. The bottom button of the two buttons on each strip appears to do nothing. Can I assign this to solo the track for that strip? 3. When looking at the mackey Control property page in Sonar, and hitting F1 for help, I get all the button assignments for that surface. Is there a list somewhere that tells how these buttons correspond to those on the Behringer unit? 4. When the Behringer is in Mackey emulation mode, can I temporarily reassign controls to effects parameters, like the track EQ, compressor etc.? Do I need to switch to another mode to do this, and how easy is it to then get back into track mode, after adjusting effects? Last but not least, is there a way to get Sonar to just use the Behringer natively, without it having to emulate another surface? I'm asking this because as far as I know, another DAW application, Reaper, can directly support the BCF2000. Thanks for any help with the above. I realize my post is rather long, but I'd like to compile all this info to help the larger community. The BCF2000 is still by far the cheapest control surface with motorized faders, and for what little I've used it on so far, works great! Chris P.S. I'm not on Midimag currently, so if someone could cross-post this over there I'd be very appreciative. PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
