4. OPERATION
Fig. 4.5: Routing in USB mode 4
This operating mode should be selected if you want to couple
two B-CONTROLs (e.g. 1x BCF2000 & 1x BCR2000) to control
your software using both B-CONTROLS through a common USB
port. Additionally, MIDI OUT B of the first controller (unit 1) can
be used from the computer as a 16-channel MIDI output. The
data of both B-CONTROLs is mixed and is sent to the host
computer via USB. Select stand-alone mode 3 for the second
unit (unit 2).
4.1.2 Stand-alone modes
The stand-alone modes come into play when the B-CONTROL
is not used as a USB-controller for controlling PC applications
but as a pure MIDI controller. With all stand-alone modes, all
MIDI connectors can be used simultaneously, and these modes
differ only in how the data is transmitted on the MIDI outputs. Of
course, not only sound generators can be remotely controlled
(as shown in the illustrations) but also effects processors, groove
boxes, hardware sequencers, lighting equipment, compact
studios, portable keyboards, e-pianos etc. basically any
equipment with a MIDI input. This can also be your computer
with its own MIDI interface. The USB connector can not be used
while your B-CONTROL is in one of the stand-alone modes. A
merge function that makes mixing MIDI data from two different
sources to one output possible is active at output A in stand-
alone modes S-1 to S-3.
