- This device has a Mackie/Logic Control Mode built in. In order - to put the controller into Mackie/Logic control mode turn on the - unit while holding third button from the left in the top most row - of buttons (under the rotary encoder row). In this mode the LCD - display will show "LC". Your device is now ready to be used with Ardour. + Digramatic Image of the BCF2000

+ The Behringer BCF-2000 Fader Controller is a control surface with 8 motorized + faders, 8 rotary encoders and 30 push buttons. The device is a class + compliant USB Midi Interface and also has standard Midi DIN IN/OUT/THRU ports. + The device has included a Mackie/Logic Control Emulation Mode since firmware v1.06. + If you're devices firmware is older than v1.06 it will require an update before + Mackie Control Emulation will work as described here. +

+

+ Digramatic Image of the BCF2000 in Edit Global Mode +

+ +

+ In order to put the controller into Mackie/Logic control mode turn on the + unit while holding third button from the left in the top most row + of buttons (under the rotary encoder row). Hold the button down until EG + or edit global mode is displayed on the LCD screen of the unit. The global parameters + can then be edited using the 8 rotary encoders in the top row. +

+ +

+ To exit the EG mode press the Exit button. The device is now + ready to use with Ardour. +

+ +

Modes of Operation

+

+ Digramatic Image of the BCF2000 Control Modes +

+

+ The four buttons arranged in a rectangle and located under the Behringer logo + are the mode selection buttons in Logic Control Emulation Mode, + currently Ardour has implemented support for two of these modes. +

+

+The surface can be broken into 8 groups of controls. +

+ +
    +
  1. The rotary encoders at the top of the device
    2. +
  2. The first row of buttons under the encoders
    3. +
  3. The second row of buttons under the encoders
    4. +
  4. The row of motorized faders
  5. +
  6. + The group of 4 buttons at the top right that will be + referred to here as the Shift Group +
    7. +

Mixer Pan Mode

+

+ Digramatic Image of the BCF2000 Control Modes +

+

+ This is the standard work mode that organizes the control surface to emulate + a standard mixer layout where controls for each track/bus are arranged vertically. + The order of the faders is either controlled by the order of the tracks in the + mixer or can be set manually by the user. +

+
+
Encoders
+
Mixer Pans. The red LEDs show the amount of pan left or right
+
First Row of Buttons
+
Mixer Mutes. The button led lights if the track is currently muted
+
Second Row of Buttons
+
Select Active Track/Bus. Currently selected track/bus is indicated by the button led
+
Faders
+
Mixer Gains
+
Shift Group
+
+ The top and bottom left buttons are the simply shifts to change the function of other buttons +
+
+ The top right is the Fine Control button that allows the increment values sent by + by rotary encoders and faders to be a small value for more precise editing. This button + can also act as a shift button. +
+
+ The bottom right is the Global Shift button that allows you to change back to the + standard Mixer Pan view from other views and modes. This button can also act as a shift button. +
+
Mode Group
+
The top two buttons functions are not currently implemented in Ardour.
+
The bottom left button sets the device to Pan mode and should currently be lit
+
+ The bottom right button sets the device to Send mode but will only allow the switch + if the currently selected track/bus has a send or sends to control. +
+
Select Group
+
+ In this mode they function as bank select left and right. If your session has more than 8 tracks + the next set of 8 tracks is selected with the right button and the faders will move to match the + current gain settings of that bank of 8 tracks/busses. If the last bank contains less than 8 + tracks/busses the unused faders will move to the bottom and the pan lights will all turn + off. An unlimited amount of tracks can be controlled with the device. +
+
Transport Group
+
The upper left button controls Rewind. +
The upper right button controls Fast Foreword +
The lower left button controls stop
+
The lower right button controls play
+
+

Send Mode

+

+ Digramatic Image of the Send Mode +

+

+ Send mode allows for the top row of encoders to control the sends for a selected channel. + One interesting option is to flip the controls from the encoders to the faders by pressing + the shift 1 button and the global view button at the same time. +

+
+
Encoders
+
+ In send mode, the encoders control sends from left to right instead of mixer pans. + If there are less than 8 sends the behavior of the encoder will be to continue controlling + the mixer pan. Visually it's indicated by the change in the LED from originating at the 12 + o'clock position to originating at the 7 o'clock position. If FLIP is pressed + the encoder will control the mixer gain for the selected track/bus. +
