B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000-WH
Pitch Bend:
Pitch bend is assignable to only one CONTINUOUS element.
Since this is a type of command with its own status byte, selecting
a MIDI channel (Encoder 2) and Range (Encoder 4) is sufficient.
After Touch:
Normally, ALL is selected here. This means that After Touch
affects all notes equally (Channel Pressure). If you want to use
a polyphonic After Touch (Key Pressure), the single note on
which After Touch should have an effect can be selected using
encoder 3. Since this process is only supported by a few tone
generators, channel After Touch will be best most of the time.
When a switch element has been selected, an on and off value
can also be set (release dynamic). Therefore, you can limit the
modulation range (FX depth) using After Touch.
MMC:
MIDI Machine Control data is only assignable to button elements.
Encoder 4 (Value 1) sets Locate Time hour and minute values,
while encoder 5 (Value 2) sets seconds and frames. The Locate
Position is always sent before the MMC command. We therefore
have the following logic-switching sequence:
If the Locate parameter has been selected, the sequencer or
hard drive recorder always jumps to the set position. If Play has
been selected as the parameter (for a button), the sequencer
always starts from the set locator point as soon as the button is
pressed. Rewind always begins at the chosen locator point.
Select the frame rate with encoder 6: 24, 25, 30 (non-drop), 30d
(drop frame) or off (in this case only the MMC message is sent,
without any information of the locate position).
GS/XG:
Encoder 3 directly selects the most important Main Control
parameters. The display indicates them as a (shortened) text
(table 4.2). In this case, these are CCs or NRPNs (no SysEx
data).

Encoders 4 and 5 let you confine or invert each controllers value
range.
4.5 Settings in the global setup menu
Settings that have an effect on all presets are made in the global
setup menu.
s Keep the EDIT key pressed and at the same time press the
STORE key.
s You are now in the global setup menu, and can let go of
both keys.
s Now, turn the push encoders 1 to 8 to get the desired setting.
This is how the push encoders are allocated:
4. OPERATION

s To exit the global setup menu, press EXIT.
+ The settings in the global setup menu take effect
immediately and do not have to be separately stored.
Operating Mode:
The operating modes are described in chapter 4.1. You can
select USB modes U-1 to U-4 and stand-alone modes S-1 to S-4.
Global RX Channel:
The B-CONTROL receives program change commands on this
channel.
Footswitch type:
Because there are different kinds of footswitches (depending on
their switching behavior), the polarity of the footswitch connector
can be set (normal/inverted), or it can be automatically detected
during power startup (auto recognition).
Start Preset Number:
Each of the 32 presets can be selected as the startup preset.
Additionally, with the Last function, at startup you have the option
to always load the preset that was used last.
Device ID Number:
You should change the ID number settings only if you work with
several BCF2000-WHs at the same time, and problems with
recognizing the correct device start occurring during a SysEx
Dump procedure.
+ Please keep in mind that SysEx Dumps can only be
received at the device number to which they were sent!
SysEx Dump Select:
Turning push encoder 6 lets you select between the current preset
(single) or the entire memory contents of the 32 presets (all) should
be sent as a SysEx dump. One press on encoder 6 triggers the
dump.
To receive a SysEx dump, you dont have to change any settings
on your equipment. If you send a single preset to the
B-CONTROL, the data is written to a temporary memory; to be
stored permanently, the data has to be stored on a storage slot
of your choice (preset store function).
+ WARNING: If you send an ALL-Dump to the
B-CONTROL, the entire memory contents are directly
overwritten! No request to confirm will be made, and
the memory has no redundant safety function!
s To cancel a SysEx dump, press the EXIT key.
MIDI Data Interval:
This is where you adjust the data transmission rate. This setting
only has an effect on MIDI data packs such as SysEx dumps and
not on controlling of MIDI commands (they are carried out in real
time anyway). The transmission rate is adjustable in milliseconds.
