[. . . ] B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000 B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000 ENGLISH Users Manual Version 1. 1 October 2004 B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000/B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user-serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. Only qualified personnel may perform repairs. [. . . ] With more complex MIDI setups, thru boxes are preferred to using longer thru chains to prevent data transmission problems. If you dont require the response function during software control, you can connect as many BCF2000/BCR2000s as you want per MIDI. The last B-CONTROL in the chain is then connected to the MIDI IN input of your computer. This way, you can control nearly as many channels of a software mixer as you wish. However, keep in mind that all devices must share 16 MIDI channels. Fig. 4. 9: Routing and use in stand-alone mode 4 The Stand Alone mode S-4 is very similar to mode S-2, with the difference that the merge function is not available. This mode is ideally suited for connecting to the MIDI interface of a computer without a USB connector. The B-CONTROL routes the incoming data to the MIDI output B (THE THRU function). MIDI control commands are laid out at output A. This way, parameter feedback is possible without the danger of creating a MIDI loop. Connect the MIDI output on the MIDI interface of your computer to the MIDI IN input on the B-CONTROL. Connect OUT A to the MIDI input on the interface. An additional MIDI receiver can be connected to OUT B. An expansion using a second B-CONTROL is also conceivable. To do that, connect the B output with MIDI IN on the next MIDI receiver. To send MIDI commands from several units to your PC, use an external MIDI merge box. Important information about stand-alone modes: With the wiring examples shown here, the parameter values of the controlled devices can be shown on the B-CONTROLs LEDs (parameter feedback). If this is important to you, you will have to connect MIDI IN to the MIDI output of the device you are controlling. Of course, the hardware unit you are using has to support sending back the parameter values. If in doubt, check the user manual of the equipment you are using. 12 4. OPERATION B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000/B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000 Parameter feedback is enabled in all stand-alone modes. Other stand-alone modes may cause undesirable MIDI loops.
