B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000/ROTARY BCR2000 User Manual

Connect the MIDI output on the MIDI interface of your computer to the MIDI 

IN input on the B-CONTROL. Connect OUT A to the MIDI input on the interface. 

An additional MIDI receiver can be connected to OUT B. An expansion using a 

second B-CONTROL is also conceivable. To do that, connect the B output with 

MIDI IN on the next MIDI receiver. To send MIDI commands from several units to 

your PC, use an external MIDI merge box.

Important information about stand-alone modes:
With the wiring examples shown here, the parameter values of the controlled 

devices can be shown on the B-CONTROL’s LEDs (parameter feedback). If this 

is important to you, you will have to connect MIDI IN to the MIDI output of the 

device you are controlling. Of course, the hardware unit you are using has to 

support sending back the parameter values. If in doubt, check the user manual of 

the equipment you are using.
Parameter feedback is enabled in all stand-alone modes. Other stand-alone 

modes may cause undesirable MIDI loops. In stand-alone mode 3, the control 

data of your B-CONTROL is routed to the MIDI output B without the 

merge function.
Your B-CONTROL can also control your computer via MIDI (without a USB 

connection) as long as your computer features a MIDI interface. In this case, 

all stand-alone modes can be used. To utilize parameter feedback, you should 

still use the stand-alone mode 4. Alternatively, you can also use S-3 and connect 

the computer via MIDI OUT B so that no MIDI feedback loop is created.

The Play mode menu is the highest menu level in the B-CONTROL. Use it during 

normal operation for real-time control of MIDI data.

Display: 
After switching on the unit, the current system software version is briefly 

displayed. Value changes are shown when using one of the control elements, 

provided that they have been activated.

Control elements:
You can use several keys, encoders and faders simultaneously and send their 

MIDI data. The classification of MIDI data types is explained in chapter 4.4. 

According to its assigned MIDI data type, each control element shows the current 

parameter value in the corresponding LED or LED ring.
The position of the faders changes automatically as soon as you choose another 

preset or during incoming parameter messages.

LED display:
The encoder LED ring displays or the status LEDs of the buttons change 

automatically when running controller recordings in a sequencer, provided, 

of course, all connections have been made correctly, the correct operating mode 

is enabled and the software sequencer supports sending parameter values.
Button illumination varies according to the controller mode: if a button is in 

“Toggle on” mode, the button LED illuminates as soon as the button is pressed. 

Only when you press the button once again, the LED goes out. If a button is 

in “Toggle off” mode, the corresponding LED will be lit only for the time the 

button is pressed.
The performance of the control elements, the display and the LED displays can be 

individually set up and is explained in chapter 4.3 “Programming”.

Select a preset with the Preset button  

(8)

. The new preset number is 

indicated in the display

Alternatively, you may select a preset by pressing and holding down the 

preset button while moving one of the push encoders  

(1)

As soon as you release the Preset button, the new preset is active

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

Select 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

By pressing STORE again, the STORE LED and the display stop flashing

If you want to overwrite the current preset, press the STORE button twice 

(step 2 can be cancelled)

Cancel 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 

currentpreset. 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).
Press the encoder group button of the group you want to copy.

Press STORE; the STORE button LED flashes

Now select the destination encoder group. The destination encoder button 

LED flashes

Press STORE again, the STORE button LED is no longer lit

Cancel the store procedure at any time by pressing EXIT

4.3.1  The 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.

Press 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)
