Note : By default the Include 'Go' button etc is clear because these buttons can be more trouble than they are worth due to their position on the unit. For the BCF2000 preset the first two of these buttons are always assigned to Inputs and Outputs, so selecting the Include 'Go' button etc checkbox just assigns the 3rd and 4th buttons to Stop All, and Go. If you select this Include 'Go' button etc checkbox then for the BCR2000 presets these four buttons will be assigned to Prev Cue, Next Cue, Stop All, and Go. Include 'Go' button etc : The BCR2000 and BCF2000 have four programmable buttons on the lower right of the unit. Select the ports required - the input and output ports may well have the same name, as is the case for the Behringer BCR2000.Ĭonfiguration : This drop-down list contains configurations or 'presets' that SCS includes for the selected Controller. MIDI In Port and MIDI Out Port : SCS will communicate with your controller via MIDI, and 2-way communication is required so SCS can send settings to the controller as well as receive settings from the controller. If your controller is not included in the list, please contact us with details of your equipment. Currently the Behringer BCR2000 and BCF2000 are supported. Note that the Faders Window will show a vertical fader representation for level control, regardless of whether the physical control is a vertical fader or a rotary encoder.Ĭontroller : Select from the list of supported controllers. The BCF2000 is similar to the BCR2000 except the BCF2000 has 8 motorized vertical faders instead of the 24 rotary encoders. The initial SCS support for control surfaces was developed for the Behringer BCR2000 which does not have motorized faders but does have 24 rotary encoders. Some controllers have motorized faders, such as the Behringer BCF2000 and the CM Labs MotorMix2. I, for one, would sure love to put the BCR2000 over the top of my FS1R, which has so many damn params (3,000, I think) and such a badly-designed interface, that programming it from the front panel is a nightmare!.A 'Control Surface' is an external device that can be used to provide easier dynamic control of audio levels than is available when just using a mouse and keyboard, or even a touch screen. There's always some clever way someone's worked out. But few synths will do this, though they will accept controller input, of course. Ideally, you want the synth to tell you what its current params are whenever you select a patch, so the control surface settings will 'jump' to the right values. But the problem of 'local echo' will still be there. If you want to control external HARDWARE units, the documentation will of course be a lot better. Most soft synths are also woefully ill-documented for example, NI's stuff - they may, or may not accept CCs, NRPNs etc but best of luck finding out!. Unfortunately the annoyance you will have is that the controller will only work in half-duplex mode, unless you can make the synth echo any changes to its params back OUT via MIDI. Then you can daisy-chain it through MIDI & feed it back into Sonar that way. As such, the BCR2000 need not be USB-connected because you can configure it in standalone mode so it issues MIDI messages. It might be possible - I would not daisy-chain them, but set them up independently. If you are using the BCR via a separate HW MIDI interface (not the BCF's), then this is a moot point as it would obviously work just like any other controller hooked up via MIDI. However, the notes on the Mackie emulation state that the mode can't be changed when using the emulation, so the question is, which "mode" is implemented with the mackie emulation, since it can't be changed.
Different modes for the bcr 2000 manual#
I have a BCR and the manual states you can chain a BCF and a BCR together via MIDI by selecting a certain mode. I would like to know if this is possible, for then it would be interesting for me to buy the BCR as well (I only have BCF momentarily).ĭoes anyone have experience with this configuration? Would it be possible to control sonar plugins (softsynths) using the following configuration?īehringer BCF 2000, connected through USB, mackie control emulation mode (no softsynth control)īehringer BCR 2000, connected through midi, together with midi keyboard, controlling soft synth parameters.
