Behringer BCF XL by Sigabort
Spurred on by the popularity of Sigaborts BCR XL Control Surface Script we grabbed a Behringer BCF 2000 and went about sprinkling some Isotonik magic on it…
With it’s motorised faders and LED ringed encoders it’s a surprise to us that no-ones yet come up with a definitive script for it, we’d like to think that we’ve solved that conundrum and with this script the oft forgotten controller can once again have the dust brushed off it and take pride of place in the Ableton Live Performers set up.
MIX CONTROL – The Push Encoders at the top of the Behringer BCF device can be used to select tracks as well as being switchable between Mixer Mode, where you can choose which Send is being controlled for each of the eight tracks, with our Config.txt you can define whether this mode switches to control Pan on each track instead. The Buttons beneath give you Mute and Solo, or if you prefer you can switch configuration to look after Solo and Arm instead.
DEVICE CONTROL – Device Mode is switchable with one of the Control Buttons on the Controller and the Push Encoders will change to Device Control focusing on whatever is Blue-handed within Live, the buttons beneath then allow you to switch between the first eight devices on a track with the the bottom row of buttons giving you device on / off…
The Control Buttons to the right of the BCF 2000 give live control over various functions, whether it be moving up and down the banks of the controlled device, and device lock, in the Device Mode or Folding.Unfolding Tracks and moving up and down the available Send that’s being controlled in Mixer Mode.
Our Config.txt options include switching into 14_Bit mode for even finer control, various Returns Modes allowing return tracks to be controlled by the controller either when in view or permanently taking over the right hand side.
Frequently Asked Questions
You need Ableton Live with Control Surface Script support, which covers Live 9 and above. We recommend checking the product page for the exact version compatibility before installing.
The script gives you full mix control across eight tracks, including volume via the motorised faders, send and return control via the push encoders, and track selection. The encoders are switchable between Mixer Mode and Send control, letting you work across your session without touching your mouse.
The Config.txt file lets you customise certain behaviours of the script, such as defining how the encoder mode switching operates. It is straightforward to edit in any text editor and instructions are included, but the script works out of the box without any changes if you prefer.
You place the script files into Ableton Live’s MIDI Remote Scripts folder, then select the BCF XL as your Control Surface within Live’s Preferences under the MIDI tab. Full installation instructions are included with your download.
Yes, one of the key advantages of using the BCF2000 with this script is that the motorised faders will update to reflect the correct track levels when you navigate between tracks in your session, keeping everything in sync without manual adjustment.
No, the BCF XL is a separate script built specifically for the BCF2000, taking advantage of its motorised faders which the BCR2000 does not have. The two scripts share a similar approach and workflow, but are distinct products tailored to their respective hardware.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
Control Surface Scripts – Please refer directly to the supplied user manual for installation instructions, due to the changes in the Python language used by Live across versions of 10, 11, 12 and 12.1 you will need to ensure you have installed to the correct location and used the correct files as instructed and supplied.
