USB can be used, but only if your computer runs one of the following operating

systems:

· Windows®XP

· Windows®2000

· Mac®OS-X

for all other systems - use a normal MIDI connection.

Note : Mac®OS-X will load its own generic USB/MIDI driver when the BCF2000 is connected

via USB.

Note : Windows®2000 users must install the BEHRINGER driver v1.1.1.0. To install the

BEHRINGER driver, please use our driver set-up utility program (BCSetup.exe).

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

Note :Windows®XP will load its own generic USB/MIDI driver when the BCF2000 is

connected via USB, but we recommend installing the BEHRINGER driver v1.1.1.0. for

better performance and features.

Note : if v1.0.0.2 is already installed – please update driver to v1.1.1.0

The .dll file, set-up utility and read-me files can all be downloaded from :

USB MIDI driver (v1.1.1.0) for WINDOWS®XP/2000

BCF2000 port configuration : select one of the “USB” modes on the BCF2000. Check

this in the global menu. Press “EDIT” and then “STORE” keys together, the display will

read EG (edit global). Use the “TYPE” encoder to select the port status (mode) –for

best results select mode U-1. Exit the global menu.

Note : after setting the BCF2000 port configuration you must exit the global menu.

Note : you cannot access the global edit menu directly from the “emulation” modes in V1.06 or

higher. Restart, but keep the appropriate selection key held down for a few seconds.

Note : you cannot access the global edit menu directly from the default factory preset for

Cubase®– in this case you will need to recall a different preset to enter the global menu.

Follow the instructions for your OS as described in attachment #01

USB_MIDI_Driver_1110 _readme.pdf.Once the driver is installed and the device is

connected via USB, you will find that the BCF2000 is recognised within the computer’s

OS. Windows®users will be able to check this in the device manager (control panel).

Note : It is OK to use aUSB hub, but if you experience difficulties when installing the

hardware, try using adirect USB connection to the motherboard for the installation. You

can repeat the installation for each USB port which you are likely to use.

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

getting connected (i) – USB

For operating systems where USB is not supported, or any OS other than Windows®

2000/XP or Mac®OS-X, you will need to use the MIDI connections. Ensure that your

existing MIDI interface is installed and recognised by your host software.

BCF2000 port configuration: select one of the “stand-alone” modes for the BCF2000

Check this in the global menu. Press “EDIT” and then “STORE” keys together, the

display will read [EG] (edit global). Use the “TYPE” encoder to select the port status

(mode) – for best results select mode S-4. Exit the global menu and call up a preset.

Note : after setting the BCF2000 port configuration you must exit the global menu.

Note : connect the BCF2000’s “MIDI IN” and “MIDI OUT A” ports to your computer’s MIDI

interface.

Note : you cannot access the global edit menu directly from the “emulation” modes in V1.06 or

higher. Restart, but keep the appropriate selection key held down for a few seconds.

Note : you cannot access the global edit menu directly from the default factory preset for

Cubase®– in this case you will need to select a different preset to enter the global

menu.

You can also connect two or more BCF2000, or acombination of BCF2000 and

BCR2000. The most convenient way is to use multiple USB ports –if your host system

allows this.

Note : when using multiple USB ports, the port configuration for all devices should be U-1.

getting connected (iii) – cascading BCF2000 / BCR2000

For further information please visit www.behringer.com BEHRINGER Spezielle Studiotechnik GmbH

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

Note : each device must be assigned an exclusive device ID in the “global edit” menu.

Note : To enable multiple client operation, Windows®XP users will also need to install the

BEHRINGER USB/MIDI driver v1.1.1.0 (see getting connected (i) above).

Note : Windows®2000 users must use the BEHRINGER USB/MIDI driver v1.1.1.0 (see getting

connected (i) above). This also allows multi-client capability.

Note : do not expect parameter feedback if this feature is not supported by your

host software !

Note : you may need to add extra control surfaces within your host software (eg Cubase®) for

each subsequent BCF2000 / BCR2000.

Note : Logic®automatically recognises and configures multiple BCF2000 in L_C mode.

If your host system has only one USB port free, you can create a chain of BCF2000s

and BCR2000s, each time using "MIDI OUT A" to "MIDI IN". The last B-Controller in the

chain is connected to the computer via USB. The port modes will be U-4 for the last unit

(with the USB connection) and S-3 for all others.

Note : Cascading two units via MIDI is described in the user manual. This configuration

supports parameter feedback.

Note : If you are not using USB, you can still add units in a MIDI chain as described above,

but use the MIDI ports instead of USB. The port configuration is S-3 for all units.

Note : Cascading via MIDI is only possible in b_C mode.

Note : Parameter feedback is not supported if three or more units connected via MIDI.

Alternatively, you may use a MIDI splitter / hub.

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

Having read “getting connected” –if your BCF2000 has operating system V1.06 or

earlier, you are now at the right stage to upgrade your BCF2000 to V1.07. The current

operating system version number is displayed for 2seconds during power up. The sys-

ex file, upgrade utility and read-me files can all be downloaded from :

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/bc_download/preset_download.cfm?lang=ENG

filename = BCF_v107.zip

Firmware upgrade BCF2000

If you want to UPGRADE your BCF2000 then please also read attachment #02

BCx2000_Upgrade_03.pdf and attachment #03 Firmware_V1.07_readme.pdf

Note : If Windows®USB/MIDI driver v1.0.0.2 is already installed – be sure to update driver to

v1.1.1.0 before upgrading the BCF2000 operating system (see “getting connected (i)

above)

For Windows®users who are not using a MIDI utility software, we do provide an update

utility program. The necessary file may be downloaded from :

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/bc_download/preset_download.cfm?lang=ENG

filename = Update_Utility.zip

Windows ®update utility for BCF2000/BCR2000

Note : For USB systems -you may upgrade via USB or MIDI, but ensure that the correct port

is selected in the BCF2000 (either U-1 or S-1). MIDI is the more reliable option (S-1).

Note : This procedure will not overwrite the factory presets.

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

Once you have completed the upgrade to V1.07, you are now at the right stage to

transfer preset templates to your BCF2000.

Note : your BCF2000 was shipped with anumber of pre-configured templates. You can

download sys-ex files for all of these and more from :

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/bc_download/preset_download.cfm?lang=ENG

We hope that you can appreciate that there are so many commercial MIDI-based audio

software packages on the market that it is impossible for us to offer apreset template

for every single one. We have done our best to provide templates for the most popular

current packages, but if you do not find atemplate for your particular host software,

please do not be disheartened. You may find that another user has already created a

suitable template and posted it as asys-ex file on the Usenet (see links at end of this

document). You can also use the “LEARN” function to configure ablank preset in

exactly the way you want it to be (see “getting configured (ii)… below) or the “EDIT”

function to fine-tune apre-set template. Refer to the BCF2000 instruction manual and

the documentation for your host software.

Note : If you are using Cubase®SX, Nuendo®,Logic®,Sonar®,or ProTools®,then there is no

need to download or transfer any presets. From V1.06 onwards, the BCF2000 can be

started in the appropriate emulation mode –this requires no further adjustment. Refer

also to attachment #03 Firmware_V1.07_readme.pdf

Note : The preset templates are sys-ex files. Transfer these into the BCF2000 using a

standard MIDI utility (e.g. MIDI-OX or SendSX) or aMIDI sequencer. The BEHRINGER

upgrade utility cannot be used for transferring single preset templates.

Note : Before transfering sys-ex files, ensure that the BCF2000 is in bC mode and also not in

the “global edit” menu.

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

Note : After making any changes to the BCF2000 configuration –whether by sys-ex transfer or

manually using the “LEARN” or “EDIT” functions - do not forget to store these

changes before selecting a new preset or powering off the unit.

Note : the “LEARN” and “EDIT” functions are only available in bC mode.

Note : Windows®users who are operating the BCF2000 in one of the emulation modes (except

“b-hui”) may also use the BCFview status bar to help with “navigation”.

You can download the BCFview status bar from

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/bc_download/preset_download.cfm?lang=ENG

filename = BCFview.zip

Virtual Mackie®/ Logic®Control display tool for Windows®computers

Note : Always start BCFview.exe before opening your host software.

Note : bC mode only: Some host software packages may require asoftware adaption to allow

the BCF2000 to be imported as ageneric MIDI controller Before you open your host

software you may need to store the software adaption file to aspecified location in your

host software files. Where applicable, these software adaption files are included in the

.zip package with the relevant BCF2000 template. Download from :

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/bc_download/preset_download.cfm?lang=ENG

Refer to the appropriate read-me file which was downloaded with the template for more

details.

BCF2000 Quick Start Guide

At this stage you are now ready to open your host software. To avoid possible device

conflicts, we recommend that other unrelated MIDI or audio applications are closed

before proceding, at least until after the BCF2000 has been successfully incorporated

within your system.

Check that the BCF2000 is recognised as aMIDI device by the host software. You will

probably need to establish the BCF2000 as a“generic remote” control surface. If you

need more help with this, please refer to the documentation for your host software for

detailed instructions on creating / importing / storing MIDI control surfaces.

Note : Be sure to save all configuration changes within your host software. Some programs

must be closed and re-opened before these changes are commited. Refer to the

documentation for your host software for more detailed instructions.

Note : Detailed instructions on using the “LEARN” and “EDIT” functions may be found in the

BCF2000 instruction manual.

If you are using ahost software package which supports any of the emulated hardware

controllers, you can operate the BCF2000 in the appropriate emulation mode. In this

case you should select the control surface which is being emulated, and not the

BCF2000 in bC-mode.

Note : Be sure to save all configuration changes within your host software. Some programs

must be closed and re-opened before these changes are enforced. Refer to the

documentation for your host software for more detailed instructions.

At this point you should be able to establish MIDI communication between your

BCF2000 and your host software.
