[RWP] Links to run Reaper from BCF2000 control surface

[indigo]

Okay, here are links to the Cockos forum where everything about running 
Reaper from the Behringer BCF2000 control surface have been gathered in 
1 place, plus a link where you can download Klinke's plug by Nofish.
Klinke is the programmer who developed the VST plug to set up a 
Behringer BCF2000 to run Reaper, and I think Nofish is the English 
translater.
Below that is what passes for a users guide by musicbynumber
to how Klinke's plug sets up the controls on the Behringer BCF2000.
All this is still evolving, but sighted users on the forums are saying 
it works well, and my own BCF2000 is on its  way, so I'll try Klinke's 
plug soon.

Along with this plug to set up the BCF2000 for Reaper, is the new Mackie 
Reader, which will provide speech for all controls on the BCF2000.
  The Mackie Reader is in its final stages of development and coming soon.
I'll posts links for Mackie Reader as soon as possible.

Mackie Control now with plugin control ;-) And with Action-Mode.

BCF2000 help guide thing.. very rough

First things first
you have to get the latest behringer usb drivers for it to work well 
over usb (never tried it over midi). They are multiclient and that's 
what's needed to talk with the BcfView and reaper at the same time. That 
is probably why none of it's
This link gives you a guide to the bcf in mcu cubase mode
http://www.behringerdownload.de/BCF2...tion_modes.pdf

There's an overview for the controls but only when it's set up for sonar 
mcu so I will try and get round to making a picture but here's an idea.
---top group of 4 buttons..

-top left one is a shift key and does solo and record arm and some 
automation modes using the group of 4 below it) and in combination with 
the top right it does flip mode.
-the bottom left is also a shift key that allows you to also use the 
group of four below it to change automation modes (and some stuff on the 
transport controls too but not sure yet) EDIT: it also gives you 8 
function keys (cc's in action list) that are the 8 select buttons (you 
have 8 more with the real shift key but hard to get to)
-the top right is sends mode, press again for recieves mode (makes 
headphone sends a dream to work with.
-the bottom right seems to be a toggle switch too but only in fx and 
action mode.

--middle group of four.

-bottom left is normal pan and channel mode (use control to select 
multiple tracks unless you have the original select method on)

-top left is action mode, this is stunning, if you have relative mode on 
for that encoder you get a midi cc sent on push, release and turn BUT 
just as cool is if you take relative mode off you now get a cc sent on a 
clockwise turn and a different one on anti clockwise and they repeat 
with each click so this allows you to do cool things like stretch and 
item or shorten it by turning a knob or timestretch or pitch or any 
commands that have a positive and negative adjust. It's very powerful!

top right is also fx mode, note, the rotary encoders can be used for 
things like frequency but the have to be learnt (you have to go through 
all the steps) but this also allows them to be used for things like eq 
type and they even get the right names once you get used to it, it is 
fast and powerful and far superior even to automap (which I have two 
devices)

-bottom right seems to be a toggle modifier again still learning it.


--two buttons on their own.

-bank left and right but if you hold one of the shifts they move through 
single channels instead of banks of 8.



--bottom four buttons

-the usual, stop, play, fast forward and reverse, the shifts do things 
like activate record and cycle.
