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).

Table 4.3: GS/XG Parameter Main Controls

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.

sKeep the EDIT key pressed and at the same time press the STORE key.

sYou are now in the global setup menu, and can let go of both keys.

sNow, turn the push encoders 1 to 8 to get the desired setting. This is how the push encoders are allocated:

(QFRGHU	)XQFWLRQ	6HOHFW
1	Operating Mode	U-1 ... U-4, S-1 ... S-4
2	Global RX Channel	Off, 1 ... 16
3	Footswitch	Auto/Normal/Inverted
4	Start-Preset	1 ... 32, Last
5	Device ID	1 ... 16
6	SysEx Dump	Single/All
7	-	-
8	MIDI Data Interval	(ms)

Table 4.4: Push encoder allocation in global setup menu

sTo 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 BCF2000s or BCR2000s 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 don’t 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!

sTo 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.

4.6 Additional functions

Temporary “Local Off”:

“Local Off” means that when you move a control element on the B-CONTROL, no MIDI data is transmitted. If the position of a control element deviates from the current value in the software, you can readjust its position until the correct position is found by using this function. After that, the control can be moved again without creating an audible value deviation.

Deviations between the position of a control element and the current parameter value can occur if no parameter feedback is being sent while a value is being changed in the software (e.g. mixer automation).

sPress the EXIT key and keep it pressed.

sMove the desired control element until you get the correct value.

sLet go of the EXIT key. The control element can now be moved again.
