I do plan to examine the bcf2000 with act, since I primarily want to use it to control soft synths and other plug-ins. I just wish there was a way to switch modes on the bcf without having to restart it...

However i've been reading about it. http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013008 . I use the BCF2000 through mackie control. Regarding accessing all VST or FX plugin control `parameters, i like to do the folowing: 1st. I insert one audio track, and in the FX bin I insert any VST, or Fx plugin:. 2nd. I insert one midi track and select my keybord as input and that VST as output. Well, on top of the audio track that has got the VST on the FX bin, through the inspector pain we can access 4 controls but we can reassign all controls also. Perhaps in most of cases, the BCF2000 probably will recognize automaticly the controls, therefore in plugin mode all VPot's will be ready for manipulation. Also, in the inspector controls of the midi track is possible to make changes using the keybord modulation wheel, etc. I just dont like this root, because of the lack of controls definition. If you verify, in a audio track inspector pain we can access all name controls. Some VST's. like Dimension Pro or Rapture,have access through the famous F4 key. Than just tab and select the control. So, regarding Vst's or Fx plugin's control changes, I use the BCF2000, in addition When is needed I use the midi learn with my keybord. Though, to make fast changes on control parameters, the fastier way I found was to get this Mouse wheel control software, and now I just tab on top of any control and I can make changes with the mouse wheel. No need to use any midi learn feature at all. regards, Rui Vilarinho ----- Original Message ----- From: <ivanlopez@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 7:14 PM Subject: [ddots-l] ACT MIDI Controller Plug Howdy list, Has anyone used the ACT MIDI Controller Plug within Sonar to access Sonar's parameters through your MIDI controller or control surface? I am also curious to know if anyone on this list has had success in accessing Sonar's Low Frequency Oscillators, Filters, and parameters like Sustain, attack and decay (within any softsynth). Cheers!
