[RWP] Limited Success Controlling Reaper With Behringer BCF2000

[indigo]

Online I found a gear heads forum where sighted users were having 
similar problems getting their Behringer BCF2000 to control Reaper.
This was the solution:
-turn off BCF, hold down the top button of channel two (immediately 
below the rotary dial of channel 2) and turn BCF back on.

Reaper-preferences-midi: turn off all ins and outs for the BCF

Reaper-preferences-control surfaces: select Mackie Control and 'edit'. 
Set both input and output to BCF and leave the 0 and the 9.

You may need to restart Reaper. When you start a new track, the first 
fader should shoot up, and most importantly, the fader in Reaper will 
move when you move the fader on BCF. Other controls are pan (rotary), 
select, arm, solo and mute (use encoder groups buttons in combination 
with). Also transport works from lower right hand corner set of four 
buttons and 'preset' left or right selects the adjacent set of 8 
channels in your project.
snip.
Well, the problem selecting midi input and midi output in 
Reaper/preferences/control surface did work with sighted help using  the 
physical mouse.
Now I can select a track, pan with the V Pot knobs up top, change volume 
on that track, and the transport controls do work.
Hitting preset left or right does not go to the previous or next set of 
8 tracks in the project, as they said it would.
The most peculiar thing is all faders are at the bottom.
If a track is selected with the second button down for that track, and I 
move the fader from its bottom position, the volume of the track is 
definitely controlled, but the fader obstinately returns to its bottom 
position, but the volume setting remains where I set it with the fader 
for that track.
That doesn't seem normal to me.
I should be getting faders sitting in different places according to the 
volumes of the tracks.

So, controlling Reaper with the BCF2000 is partly working with these 
settings, and ReaAccess seems not to be affected.
I am losing speech when I exit Reaper, but it immediately returns when I 
shut off the BCF2000.
It sure looks like ReaAccess and the BCF2000 are butting heads together 
to some extent, like I thought they might.
The settings above provide mackie mode for cuebase.
  Tomorrow, I'll try the BCF2000 in Mackie mode Sonar, remove the 
previous control surface settings in Reaper, and try to configure for 
mackie mode sonar, and see how that goes.
I'll also temporarily uninstall ReaAccess to learn if it is causing a 
conflict.

I think what I'm getting is the BCF2000  controlling Reaper, partly at 
least, but Reaper is not transmitting back to the BCF2000, or those 
faders would be at different positions, instead of all jumping down to 
the bottom.
