Little question about BCF

[forno]

Hi friends,
I have a little question about BCF 2000. I've got the possibility to buy two BCF but I'm not sure if I can use both in FS together, and if it could be necessary!

Thanks!

Yes it's possible to use more midi controllers by using Midi ox.
because Freestyler only support 1 Midi Channel.

"could it be necessary!" this depents on you do you think it's necessary.

i also have thinkt about it but it seem to be necessary for me if i have 3x Bcf becuase with 3 bcf's if have more then 20 faders and can controll al the submaster at ones, but i use 1 bcf and it's works realy great.

not true! FS supports 16 MIDI channels. you still have to merge two MIDi output from the BCF's into one MIDI input to FS, but that is very easy to do using the MIDIXO program

I haven't understand ho to do it so, I've just downloaded midiOX and trying to understand how it works. But how do I have to wire exactely the bcfs together and then with the computer?

First of al you need to download the Drivers for the BCF
then you need to plugin both the usb cables into your pc.
Install MidiOx and Midi Yoke (Midi Yoke is a Virtual Midi Cable)

now you open MidiOx and set "midi in" to Bcf2000 1 & 2
And "midi out" to "Midi Yoke1"
now you open Freestyler go to the Midi options and set "Midi in" to "Midi Yoke1"

Blue and red: Usb wire
Yellow : Midi Yoke1
Green : Midi Yoke2

Also a good thing to know is that the .Sys file on the Bcf's are the Same so if you drag the first fader of the first Bcf it will give the same "Note" as the second Bcf. so you need to make 2 differnt .sys Files.

I'm not sure if it's going to work Never tried it, but it seems to be the most logic way for me.
