-This device is probably the most cost effective and versitle bits of kit that any FS user could invest in.
-This is not ment as free advert or endorsment for any product but as it is such a popular device I belive that its inclusion on the wiki is an important one.
-===== Setup =====
-==== Switching to BC Mode ====
-Before using this device, make sure it is running in the "bC Mode" emulation. It should be by default.
-To change the mode:
-    - Switch OFF the BCF2000
-    - Push & hold the desired mode button (upper left corner, button with "bC" as description)
-    - Switch ON the BCF2000 and wait until the selected mode is indicated in the display
-    - Release mode button
-==== Setting Device to USB Mode 1 (U-1) ====
-USB mode 1 (U-1) is used for controlling software via USB (like Freestyler) and disables all the MIDI ports on the actual BCF2000. \\ //Note: If this is not your desired setup, please refer to the BCF2000 user manuals for setting your desired mode of operation.//  \\
-    - Push & hold the EDIT button on the BCF2000, and press STORE button at the same time.
-    - Release both buttons
-    - Select U-1 by turning the "PUSH ENCODER 1" (uppermost left corner knob) until "U-1" is shown in the display area.
-    - Push the EXIT button
-==== Configuring Freestyler for MIDI ====

-===== Programming =====
-==== Configuration Files ====
-//Found these on two different threads on the forum.// \\
-  * **BCF2000 Configuration File**: [[http://freestylersupport.com/fsforum/viewforum.php?f=17|Freestyler.syx]] //(optional - not needed for FS operation)// \\ Behavior: unknown
-  * **BCF2000 Configuration File**: [[http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforum/download/file.php?id=453|fs_setup syx.zip]] //(optional - not needed for FS operation)// \\ Behavior: comprised of 5 presets. Each preset only changes the channel numbers for the faders. All other buttons and encoders remain on the same channels for every page. - (This file was created by dmxlighting, this is my pesonal setup for the BCF for use in FS, contact me via the forum for more info)
-==== Software ====
-   * **BCEdit** - [[http://www.behringerdownload.de/B-Control_download/BC-Edit_02beta3.zip|BC-Edit_02beta3.zip]]\\ Use BCEdit to create your patch and Export the ".syx" file. Then use SendSX or MIDIOX to upload it to the BCF2000. \\ //Note: BCEdit has a function built-in to transfer the .syx file to the BCF2000, but it only works with certain versions of JAVA (JAVA 1.4?). To be on the safe side, use either SendSX or MIDIOX.//
-   * **MIDIOX** - [[http://www.midiox.com/]] - //Windows// \\ Software to monitor MIDI data. It is also useful for transferring ".syx" files to the BCF2000.
-   * **Bomes SendSX** - [[http://www.bome.com/products/sendsx]] - //Windows//
