[bc2000] Looking for some basic direction

[bc2000] Looking for some basic direction

2005-10-26 by Steve Norman

I recently added a BCF2000 to a Mac based Cubase SX setup.  I updated  
the software as recommended and set it to Mackie Control emulation.   
SX 3.1 recognizes the BCF as a Mackie Control in the MIDI device  
setup panel.  The four lower right button work as transport controls,  
the sliders control channel volume, and the upper rows of button and  
encoders act as expected for mute, pan, etc.  If I press the right  
preset button, the controls work on channels 9-16, etc.  I assume all  
of this is as it should be.   But:

1.  The encoders (knobs) work as pan knobs only if I have pressed the  
EDIT button so its LED is lit.
2.  The 4 character display never shows anything more than the  
version number on power up, and then a couple of odd characters after  
that.
3.  I cannot figure out what buttons act as a SHIFT to access other  
functions listed for the Mackie Control.  Nothing seems to alter the  
function of any other control.

My questions:

1.  From these three symptoms, can anyone tell me if I have set  
things up incorrectly, and what needs to be done?
2.  Can anyone recommend a book or other resource that explains the  
BCF in some more detail, and with a lot more example, so I can figure  
out how to do some other programming? With respect to Behringer, the  
manual does absolutely nothing for me.  For example, I'd like to be  
able to set the upper rows of buttons to toggle the automation read  
and write functions in Cubase.

Thanks Graham. I have seen this. The template shows lower and upper shift modes for the Mackie Control. I don't see where it shows how to GET into a the shift modes to access these extra functions.

Also, it shows that the display will read "MC C" (except the M is an upside down U) when the BCF is in Mackie Control emulation. On mine, that's all it ever reads. Is it supposed to show present numbers and other info when you are using it?

Hi Steve,


As a Mac user, you've probably missed this, but have you seen the PDF included with the 1.07 Windows USB driver? This explains all the Mackie Control assignments, and includes a template you can print out. Here's a link:

Hope this helps!
