getting connected (i) – USB
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 a USB hub, but if you experience difficulties when installing the
hardware, try using a direct USB connection to the motherboard for the installation. You
can repeat the installation for each USB port which you are likely to use.

getting connected (ii) – MIDI
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.
getting connected (iii) – cascading BCF2000 / BCR2000
You can also connect two or more BCF2000, or a combination 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.
