B-CONTROL 

NANO

 BCN44

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the B-CONTROL BCN44. The B-CONTROL

is an extremely versatile pocket-size MIDI controller. Despite its modest size, its numerous functions will

thoroughly impress you.

Unlike with conventional MIDI controllers, our goal with the BCN44 was to offer an intuitive, flexible and

optically appealing product that doesn

’t inhibit your creativity with miniature knobs and buttons

. Therefore,

we have decided to go with a robust, clearly laid-out design consisting of freely programmable encoders and

buttons, extensive MIDI functions and the possibility to work practically anywhere. These are just some of the

outstanding B-CONTROL BCN44 characteristics that will be a lot of fun to use for a very long time.

+

The following user’s manual is designed to help you get comfortable with this unit’s control

elements, so that you can learn all of its functions. After carefully reading the user’s manual,

store it somewhere where you can easily find it later, in case you need to look something up.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The BCN44 was carefully packed at the factory to ensure secure transportation. Should the condition of the

cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for

physical indications of damage.

+

Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom

you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you

took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

+

To ensure optimal protection  during transportation, we recommend using a carrying case.

+

Always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to storage or shipment.

+

Never let unsupervised children play with your BCN44 or its packaging.

+

Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.

1.1.2 Initial operation

To avoid overheating, ensure adequate ventilation and never place your BCN44 on top of an amplifier or

near radiators.

The wall power unit included in the delivery supplies the power to your BCN44. It complies with all applicable

safety regulations.

1.1.3 Online registration
