BCF2000
Requirements/Setting up:
• The BCF2000 must have firmware v1.07 or later installed - refer to
http://www.behringer.com for more info.
• Before you add the BCF2000 as a control surface in Reason, please
make sure that the BCF2000 is set to Device ID 1. This is done in the
global setup menu: Hold down the EDIT key and press the STORE
key, release both keys and then use Encoder 5 to set the Device ID.
Press EXIT to leave the global setup menu.
• If you connect the BCF2000 via USB, you need to set it to operating
mode "U-1": Hold down the EDIT key and press the STORE key, re-
lease both keys and then use Encoder 1 to set the operating mode.
Press EXIT to leave the global setup menu.
• If you connect the BCF2000 via MIDI, you need to use two MIDI ca-
bles: one from the "IN" port to the out port on your MIDI interface,
and one from the "OUT B/THRU" port to the in port on your MIDI in-
terface. Then set the BCF2000 to operating mode "S-3".
• Reason will automatically find the BCF2000 if you click the Auto-de-
tect button on the Control Surfaces and Keyboards page in the
Preferences.
About the controls:
All faders, rotary encoders and buttons on the BCF2000 are available as control
surface items in Reason (except for the four Encoder Group buttons).
The BCF2000 has up to 32 rotary encoders - four groups of eight encoders. You
select which group to use by pressing the Encoder Group buttons below the dis-
play. How many groups are available when you are using the default mapping de-
pends on which Reason device has MIDI input from the BCF - devices with few
parameters may only use the first group, while devices with many parameters use
all four groups.
The motor faders on the BCF are not touch sensitive. This means that if they re-
ceive MIDI data from Reason (e.g. automated level changes) you cannot grab
them and change their setting. To "punch in" on automated fader movements, you
have to click and drag the corresponding parameter on the screen in Reason.
About the default mapping:
D The following buttons in the right part of the panel are used for glo-
bal functions:

D Mixer 14:2
The Preset left/right buttons select which mixer channels should be con-
trolled (channel 1-7 or channel 8-14). Fader 8 always controls the master
level.
Faders 1-7 control levels
Encoders 1:1-1:7 control pan.
Encoders 2:1-2:7 control Aux 1 send levels and Encoder 2:8 controls Aux 1
return level.
Encoders 3:1-3:7 control Aux 2 send levels and Encoder 3:8 controls Aux 2
return level.
If you select Encoder Group 4, the LED rings around the encoders will serve
as peak meters - you cannot use the encoders in this mode.
The lower buttons 1-7 control Mute and the upper buttons 1-7 control Solo.
D Mixer 6:2
Faders 1-6 control levels and fader 8 is master level.
Encoders 1:1 to 1:6 control pan.
Encoders 2:1 to 2:6 control Aux Send and Encoder 2:8 is Aux Return.
If you select Encoder Group 3, the LED rings around the encoders will serve
as peak meters - you cannot use the encoders in this mode.
Lower row buttons control Mute and upper row buttons control Solo.
D Thor
The buttons control the switch parameters in Thor.
The faders control Filter Env and Amp Env parameters.
Encoder Group 1 control Rotary 1&2 and Filter parameters.
Encoder Group 2 control Osc and Amp parameters.
Encoder Group 3 control LFO, Portamento, Shaper, Delay and Chorus param-
eters.
