Data request for all moving elements:

If the “Data Request” command (demand for data) is sent from a suitable software application to the BCD3000 as “Control Change” command (100)

on MIDI channel 1, the B-CONTROL transmits its current controls settings to the MIDI or DJ software application. This affects all knobs and faders apart from both wheels and buttons.

Selecting the input channel:

You can select the analog input A (see chapter 2.3) via MIDI. To do this, a program change command must be sent to the BCD3000.

Acceleration behavior of the Wheels:

Both wheels are automatically selected when the acceleration option is switched on. The quicker you turn one of the wheels, the stronger the value changes.

In TRAKTOR 3 LE, this means the following:

•In PLAY mode, you can speed up or slow down the track quicker.

•In PAUSE mode, you can move quicker through the track.

The value change relates directly to the wheel’s speed when scrolled manually. When the SCRATCH button is activated, the acceleration is temporarily turned off in order to ensure an optimum scratch behavior.

In case you want to deactivate the acceleration when using other MIDI software applications, apply a MIDI command that is transmitted from the MIDI application to the BCD3000. After doing so, the value changes will be constant when scrolling the wheel (left turn: 63, right turn: 65), regardless how quick.

7. Audio Connections

You will need a large number of cables for different applications. The illustrations below show how the connectors should be wired. Be sure to use only high-grade cables.

The microphone input of the BCD3000 is electronically balanced to avoid hum problems.

Of course, you can also connect unbalanced microphones to the balanced input. In this case, connect pin 1 and pin 3.
