resolution of foot controller input?

2010-08-02 by budwardp

Hey there - I'm thinking of buying a bcf200 and have a question:  does anybody know what kind of resolution the foot controller input is capable of?  I've read that it can output 14 bit pitch bend - but I'm wondering at what bit depth the input is sampled.

Most controllers seem to be 7 bit (0-127) which are then output as 14 bit numbers with large gaps between each number.  Or, as in the case of many faders (such as on the bcf2000) 10 bit (0-1023.)   Very few do 12 bit (0-4095).

I'm really hoping that the bcf2000 will give at least 10 bit.

Anyone know?

(A simple test would be to output the foot controller as pitch bend and see what the smallest incremental change is.)

Thanks!
