Saw the first dancetech tutorial video on the BCF2000 and I believe I'm stuck on a very simple part of the u-1 setup.

The BCF's motorized faders follow Logic's faders on the screen - and even snap to the position if I move these physical faders - but they don't control the virtual faders at all. It looks as if the BCF2000 faders are a complete slave to Logic's faders and can't affect them in any way.

Is there something involving Logic Pro's Controller Surfaces preferences/setup I'm missing? Or is it the BCF2000's? I fiddled with the Logic preferences before stumbling upon Dancetech's video (seen here by the way). Here linked are the screenshots for my Logic Controller setup if anyone's interested.

Control Surfaces > Preferences > General
Control Surfaces > Preferences > Help Tags
Control Surfaces > Setup
Controller Assignments

I appreciate anyone's insight in this. Thanks again for the help.

ok, on mine:

Control Surfaces > Preferences > General

resolution of relative controls = 16
maximum midi bandwidth = 50%

ticked boxes are only:
control surface follows track selection
flash mute & solo buttons

Multiple controls per parameter is set to: 1

last 3 checkboxes are all ticked

============

Control Surfaces > Preferences > Help Tags
same as yours

============
Control Surfaces > Setup
transport button click only is checked


============

Controller Assignments

There is NO bcf200 listed.. not sure how that got into yours.


-------------

i tried messing with all the settings in all the pages (except controller assignments), and it had no effect.. mine still worked both ways.



I would do this.

close Logic
disconnect bcf2000


go to applications/utilities/audio midi setup

delete any bcf2000 devices showing



Open Logic - preferences/control-surfaces/rebuild defaults


close logic

attach bcf2000 - switch on in setup mode (hold down 3rd top button and boot). setup the bcf2000 from scratch and make sure it is setup right (id=1 for only one unit,  U-1 setting etc etc - do it all as in video)

open logic.. try it

lemme know - if that doesnt work maybe u need to trash logic preferences, but backup first!!
