Fig. 4.5: Routing in USB mode 4
This operating mode should be selected if you want to couple two B-CONTROLs
(e.g. 1x BCF2000 & 1x BCR2000) to control your software using both B-CONTROLS
through a common USB port. Additionally, MIDI OUT B of the rst controller
(unit 1) can be used from the computer as a 16-channel MIDI output. The data
of both B-CONTROLs is mixed and is sent to the host computer via USB.
Select stand-alone mode 3 for the second unit (unit 2).
4.1.2 Stand-alone modes
The stand-alone modes come into play when the B-CONTROL is not used as
a USB-controller for controlling PC applications but as a pure MIDI controller.
With all stand-alone modes, all MIDI connectors can be used simultaneously,
and these modes dier only in how the data is transmitted on the MIDI outputs.
Of course, not only sound generators can be remotely controlled (as shown in the
illustrations) but also eects processors, groove boxes, hardware sequencers,
lighting equipment, compact studios, portable keyboards, e-pianos etc. –
basically any equipment with a MIDI input. This can also be your computer with
its own MIDI interface. The USB connector can not be used while your B-CONTROL
is in one of the stand-alone modes. A merge function that makes mixing MIDI
data from two dierent sources to one output possible is active at output A in
stand-alone modes S-1 to S-3.
