The POWER switch turns the B-CONTROL on. The POWER switch should always be in its “Off” position whenever you establish a connection to the mains.
+ Please keep in mind: The POWER switch does not entirely separate the unit from the mains. Please disconnect the power cord from the mains if you won’t be using the unit for a while.
Power is provided via a two-pole connector. A matching mains adapter is included in delivery. A strain relief for the mains cable is located next to the connector.
Alternatively, your BCN44 can also run on batteries. For battery operation you will need to insert three standard AA 1.5-Volt mignon batteries into the battery compartment located on the bottom side
of the unit (see ).
+ When running on batteries, the BCN44 does not show the current preset. If you need to see the current preset number while running on batteries, briefly press the EDIT/EXIT button.
+ When you are not using your BCN44 for a long time, you definitely need to remove the batteries!
The battery compartment is located at the bottom. To run your B-CONTROL on batteries, you will need 3 AA 1.5 Volt mignon batteries.
The SERIAL NUMBER of your BCN44 is also located at the bottom.
Detailed information about MIDI and MIDI functions of your BCN44 can be found in chapter 4.

The DISPLAY button is used for adjusting display functions. When in normal operating mode, value changes are displayed in real time. You can deactivate this function in EDIT mode (see tables 6.3 and 6.4).
Use the LEARN button to activate the LEARN function in EDIT mode. Detailed information about the LEARN function can be found in chapter 4.1.

These are the MIDI connectors of your B-CONTROL. BCN44 parameter data are received on the MIDI IN connector.
Data for controlling MIDI equipment can be sent via MIDI OUT. If MIDI MERGE was activated (see
), the MIDI data received, along with the control data of the BCN44, is sent to the MIDI OUT connector.
