BCF2000 - move faders when changing submaster page

Hi Nico and friends!

A friend gave me a Behringer BCF2000, and i want to try and use it with Dlight. I already have a Nanokontrol2, but I like the idea of the faders moving when I navigate through Submaster pages.

I can program the BCF (through the console itself, change CC, command number....) or the editor. That's no problem

But I want to know if there's a way when I change submaster page, Dlight sends a MIDI command of the state of all the Submasters, so the BCF updates the position of the faders.

I have the Midi input of the faders patched as SubStick, so fader 1 responds to the 1st sub of any page, the 2nd fader responds to the 2nd sub, etc.

My other idea was to program lots of diferent presets on the BCF. All the presets with the same configuration for the buttons and encoders, only changing the CC number for the faders (preset 1: faders CC 0 to 7 / preset 2: faders CC 8 to 15 / preset 3: faders CC16 to 23 ...... and so on). Then I would navigate through the presets of the BCF, in order to change Submaster pages.

But I think is a tedious and a lot of work, only if DLight is able to "flush" all the submasters state when I change page.


Hope it all makes sense...


Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
DLight flush submasters's state when you change displayed page if they're patched to a MIDI message.

Hope it helps.

  Hi Nico,

I'm really sorry, but then I don't get what I'm doing wrong. Can you please help me? What do I have to do to make the faders move when I change Sub Page?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
first thing I would do is to update DL.
then I would install Protokol  hexler.net/protokol in order to be sure of what kind of Midi messages DL send when you change the submaster's page.

Okay, so updated to last version. With the previous version, looking on Protokol, DL was not sending any MIDI data when moving submasters.

Now, having the VirtualMidi Output enabled, DL sends MIDI data when moving faders (same message as the BCF is sending)

 
This screenshot above is when i move a fader, DL replies with the same message

 
This screenshot above is when i move the sub on DL

But, still the faders are not moving.

I know they work because when i change between presets on the BCF they move. I tried with the three modes for the motorized fader on the BCF (move, pick-up, motor)

so, as shows Protokol, DL is sending MIDI when you move the faders.
so now there's two more things:
-either DL does not send to the good Output. did you tried to set only the BCF2000 port 1 as Output?
-either the BCF is not in a mode where it can receive MIDI
