Thread: Can I control intensity only from DMX or MIDI?

    Can I control intensity only from DMX or MIDI?

    Looking for a way to run presets manually, but have layer or mix intensity on a fader. Possible?

    the behringer bcf 2000 will control the layer intensity-

    at same time as preset

    Thanks! But how do I set it up. I managed to trigger a Catalyst preset with a MIDI button, but didn´t understand how to link a fader to a parameter.

    By default, the first 8 channels are linked to the 8 faders of the BCF.

    I too have a BCF2000 and have been playing with it and Catalyst.

    So, we have the faders are intensity values for layers 1-8, the fader buttons are preset triggers 1-16... is there any way to patch parameters to the set of 4 encoders for each fader? Also, for the four buttons on the bottom right?

    for more than really basic stuff these devices are pretty hideous.
    esp for any usability - bcf 2000 has a completely impenetrable user interface on controller itself

    midi parameters ranges dont map at all well to catalyst.

    mackie interface is slightly better but still rather pointless beyond simple things.

    i kindof get queasy whenever i think about the bcf2000 ....
