BEHRINGER B-CONTROL Programming Guide |

Introduction
This programming guide will familiarize you with the programming of your B-CONTROL BCR2000 or BCF2000. You will first learn how to select operating modes on your B-CONTROL and work with presets, then you’ll learn how to work with the EDIT and LEARN programming modes, and will also learn more about programming MMC commands. After reading this guide, you will be able to use your B-CONTROL for controlling all kinds of MIDI-enabled software and hardware.
All settings of this programming guide that do not refer to programming MMC data (MIDI Machine Control) will be demonstrated by using the PRO-53, a virtual synth from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS®.
An overlay for NATIVE INSTRUMENTS® PRO-53 is already included in the delivery. The assignment of the control elements on this overlay doesn’t correspond to the programming guide because the guide is intended to serve merely as a programming example.

I. Operating mode selection
Before you start making changes to the settings in order to control NATIVE INSTRUMENTS® PRO-53 using your BEHRINGER B-CONTROL, you’ll have to choose an operating mode. Mode selection depends on the connectivity options on your computer. Selecting an operating mode is done as follows:
1.Keep the EDIT key pressed and press the STORE key at the same time. The B-CONTROL is now in the global setup menu.
2.Turn the first push encoder (TYPE) to select an operating mode.
3.Press the EXIT key to store this setting and leave the global setup menu.
Note: A more detailed description of operating modes can be found in the B-CONTROL operating manual.
1. Mode selection with USB connection
If you connected your computer to the B-CONTROL via USB, select the modes U1 through U4.
2. Mode selection with double MIDI connection
If you connected your B-CONTROL (MIDI IN and MIDI OUT A) to a PC MIDI interface using two MIDI cables, select mode S4. This mode allows parameter feedback without the MERGE function (the MIDI commands created in the B-CONTROL are not mixed with the incoming data).
3. Mode selection with a single MIDI connection
If you connected your B-CONTROL to a PC MIDI interface using a single MIDI cable (MIDI OUT A), select one of the modes S1 through S4 (this wiring configuration doesn’t facilitate parameter feedback).
Note: The parameter feedback function of the B-CONTROL can only be used if the software you are controlling is capable of sending MIDI data. When it comes to the software used in this programming manual, namely, NATIVE INSTRUMENTS® PRO-53, this condition is met.
