Behringer BCF2000... How To set up ???

Hi There... so what "emulation"-mode would you prefer for the BCF200 ??? And The BIG QUESTION... How do i program the unit so that one button (e.g. one of the user buttons) does the following --> STOP REC / Delete all recorded media. and another one : --> STOP REC / Save all recorded media. and last... what editor software would you suggest for the unit ? A BIG THANK YOU, toni S / Finland.

I'd also love to know how to make one button do a [STOP RECORDING > delete recording > return playback head to last start position > RECORD AGAIN] Would really speed up new takes of tracks when I keep messing up! :)

hi, a quick search of the forum is always a good idea, lot of info around the place, using "bcf2000". a bundle of stuff can be found here: enjoy

Not exactly on topic...nevertheless....Part1 

Well of course Reaper has tons of ways of making things happen via actions list and multiples of actions via macro facility.My biggest problem with things like start/stop recording and associated actions,is when I want to hit record my hands are full or I'm not near the keyboard. The answer is a foot switch.Well I would dearly love an FCB1010 or any other programmable midi footswitch,but being a pensioner and a cheapskate,I have lashed together a working solution,using nothing but a USB gamepad that I bought for 50pence and 1xheavy duty latching footswitch and 2xmomentary switches.The gamepad I used was 8 button,so you could have 8x mometary switches OR 4x latching (two way) switches or any combination. initially I have opted for 1x latching and 2x momentary. 1.First,plug it in and make sure that it is recognised and the buttons are working then strip it down and pull out the guts(Pic1) 2.The upper PCB is just the switch contacts,which we discard(Pic2) 3.This is the bit we want,follow the tracks or use a small multitest set to determine which wires are connected to buttons and which are common (-)(Pic3) 4.Cut the wire looms connecting the two boards,leaving the wires as long as possible(Pic4) 5.I worked out that the upper 4 of the 9 strand (grey) wire are for buttons and common (-) is the middle one of each pair of 3 strand wires.Cut off the first 5 wires of the 9 strand and seperate the rest into single strands.We are now left with 2xcommon (-) and 8xbutton wires(Pic5)

Not exactly on topic....Part2 

6.I seperated them into two groups of 4xbutton and 1xcommon and soldered onto a small peice of copper track board using a length of 10 strand to connect to our "new" buttons.It does not matter which "button" wire is which as long as you know what the two common wires are (green and orange twisted together)(Pic6) 7.Next make the box for the switches (or buy from same place)(pic7) 8.Now fix to the base and wire up to switches(here I used 4xbutton and 2xcommon)It does not matter which of the 8x "button" wires you use.I am left with 4x spare button wires,I may fit another 2x latching switches later(Pic8) 9.Finished product,it aint pretty,but works extremely well.The middle latching button is set to record/stop the right hand momentary to delete and left hand to save.Of course you can set them to anything you want in the actions list or via macro's and so on(Pic9) Incedently, each of these button wires (in this example) is sending a midi note number on midi channell 0. No doubt all gamepads are different in respect of what the buttons "send" and how they are wired internally.Its up to you to work that bit out.

oldtimer, nice description!, v similar to a far-less attractive button box i knocked up a while ago. i kept mine to 5 buttons all momentary, tho a latching would be a good addition tbf. i was going to suggest perhaps you could post this or link to it in the 'joystick support rocks - yay!' thread (may be in prerelease i can't recall) as is most relevant there, no-one will find it here boo-hoo. heres your finished box in [img] [/img] tags... :) edit: a pic of my gaffergorgeous thing

Great job. Thanks for the tutorial - I might give it a go. :)
