Behringer FADERB CF2000B, ROTARY BCR2000 manual Programming

B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000/B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000

4.2.1 Selecting a preset

sSelect a preset with the PRESET button . The new preset number is indicated in the display.

sAlternatively, you may select a preset by pressing and holding down the preset button while moving one of the

push encoders .

sAs soon as you release the PRESET button, the new preset is active.

4.2.2Copy/store presets

sPress the STORE button to save a preset. The button LED starts to flash.

sSelect a memory number using the PRESET buttons or by holding down one of the PRESET buttons while moving a push encoder at the same time. The new preset number flashes in the display.

sBy pressing STORE again, the STORE LED and the display stop flashing.

sIf you want to overwrite the current preset, press the STORE button twice (step 2 can be cancelled).

sCancel the store procedure by pressing the EXIT button.

We deliberately did not include an autostore function. That way, you can assign a new MIDI control to a control element without changing the current preset. If you want to restore a preset, just select another preset briefly and again return to editing. Now, the old data has been restored.

4.2.3 Copying encoder groups

With this function you are able to copy an entire encoder group within a preset. This saves a lot of programming effort if all encoder groups within a preset consist of the same basic functions (e.g. MIDI channel, CC number for turn and push function).

sPress the encoder group button of the group you want to copy.

sPress STORE; the STORE button LED flashes.

sNow select the destination encoder group. The destination encoder button LED flashes.

sPress STORE again, the STORE button LED is no longer lit.

sCancel the store procedure at any time by pressing EXIT.

+To permanently store encoder group settings, carry out the preset store function as explained in chapter 4.2.2.

+To copy an encoder group into a different preset, you have to copy an entire preset! After that, you can copy or rearrange the encoder groups in the new preset as described above.

4.3Programming

4.3.1The LEARN function

The easiest way to assign MIDI functions to individual control elements is to use the LEARN function. Here, the MIDI data is assigned remotely. For example, MIDI data sent from a MIDI sequencer to your B-CONTROL is assigned to a control element selected beforehand.

With LEARN, not only CC, NRPN and note commands can be received but almost any type of MIDI data, including short SysEx strings.

sPress and hold the LEARN button while operating any control element. This can be a fader (BCF2000 only), an encoder BCR2000 only), a PUSH encoder, button, footswitch or sustain pedal (BCF2000 only). The control element is shown in the display (e.g. E 24 or Fd 8).

+When using push encoders, select an encoder group beforehand. In addition, you have to differentiate between turn and push function.

sNow, release the LEARN button. The B-CONTROL is waiting to receive MIDI data.

sStart transmitting MIDI data from your sequencer. As soon as the data is received by the BCF2000/BCR2000, it is shown in the display.

sAfter correct data transmission, the display shows “GOOD” or “bAd” if wrong, faulty or too extensive data has been sent.

sTo leave or cancel LEARN, press the EXIT button.

4.3.2 Programming in EDIT mode

The detailed programming of all MIDI commands (e.g. pitch bend, After Touch, MMC, etc.) can be done in the EDIT mode.

sTo activate the EDIT mode, press and hold the EDIT button and operate a control element. This can be a fader (BCF2000 only), an encoder (BCR2000 only), a push encoder, a button, footswitch or sustain pedal (BCF2000 only). The control element is indicated in the display (e.g. E 24 or Fd 8).

+When using push encoders, select an encoder group beforehand. In addition, you have to differentiate between turn and push function.

sRelease EDIT; you are now in the EDIT mode.

sUsing the push encoders 1 to 6, you can now assign MIDI commands to the selected control element. You will find all possible MIDI function in table 4.1, including all accompanying explanations.

sIf you want to assign MIDI data to additional control elements, just press and hold the EDIT button and move one of the control elements. Now, let go of both controls and use the push encoders to assign a function to it (see table 4.1).

sTo leave the EDIT mode, press EXIT.

+Initially, all settings made here are stored temporarily! If you intend to store them in a preset, please see chapter 4.2.2.

More detailed EDIT functions are described in the following table:
