[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 130092, member: 321"] Re: Console cuing system. I have re-read some old posts on here about the X32 that lead me to try some things. At the moment I have a clients X32 and have been playing with it to learn what I can and can’t do. I am impressed with the changes that they have made to the firmware with the updates. I actually (with the client’s permission) used it at a concert last night. I have a Behringer BCF2000 that I have been using when I rent a Roland M400 console to expand its functionality. I have been playing with it this week to see how it works with the X32. I can set it to recall next cue, or set it to recall next scene, or set it to recall next snippet. And also recall previous. So it gives me a Go and a Back button. But the spot on the console display window doesn’t display the correct cue/scene when I use this method. I have also used the BCF2000 to give me access to what I call buried faders, things that are on a lower level and I want quick access to without having to switch layers.. And I have been forced to safe those things because with the M400 it didn’t send fader (CC) Control Change commands. Well the X32 does send and receive CC for fader moves in scene/snippet recalls and this gives me more flexibility with the BCF2000. I have also discovered that I can turn off the general preference of “Scene GO next” since I am doing the GO and BACK with the BCF2000 and then as I am recalling or should I say dealing with the scenes I can make the changes I want and just hit save. I do have to be in the Scenes View screen and it is 3 different buttons I have to press in the right order. It would be nice if I could assign a save to an assignable control button. And I could then just double tap it no matter what screen is displayed. I was wondering since the Cues only recall a scene and/or a Snippet. Could I make that work?
