BEHRINGER B-CONTROL Programming Guide

II. Working with presets
The 32 presets in your BEHRINGER B-CONTROL let you store the settings you made and recall/use them
later. When we say ‘settings’, we mean addressing MIDI commands in respect to the control elements of the
B-CONTROL.
1. Recalling presets
When you power up the B-CONTROL, a preset is automatically loaded in the buffer. Of course, you can
also load up a different preset using the PRESET arrow keys. The preset you selected is loaded into the
buffer as soon as you let go of the PRESET key. You can start programming immediately after that.
2. Storing presets
After you assign the control elements of your B-CONTROL to the software parameters you want to control,
you can store your settings. Do the following:
1. Press the STORE key. The LED blinks.
2. Press the STORE key again. The LED stops blinking. The preset is now stored.
Note:
To store your settings, you can also use a destination preset different from the one that is currently
selected: press the STORE key. The LED blinks. Using the arrow keys, select the desired destination preset.
Press the STORE key. The LED and the display stop blinking, and the preset is stored. Details about using
presets can be found in the B-CONTROL user manual.
Note:
After you have programmed a B-CONTROL preset, you should always store it. Otherwise, all new
settings will get lost if you turn off your B-CONTROL or switch to another preset.
3. Archiving presets
Once all storage slots on your B-CONTROL have been used up, you will probably want to archive your
presets on an external medium. To do that, you may want to use a MIDI freeware programs such as SEND
SX or MIDI OX. You can also put one MIDI track of your sequencer into recording mode and use the single
preset dump function on your B-CONTROL:
1. Recall the preset you want to archive by using the PRESET arrow keys. The preset you selected is
loaded up as soon as you let go of the preset key.
2. Put your MIDI program in receiving mode or select RECORD on your software sequencer.
3. Keep the EDIT key pressed and press the PRESET
X
key. The current preset is now being sent to the
sequencer and can be stored on your computer.
Note:
When in the global edit menu, the ALL DUMP function lets you externally save all presets of your
B-CONTROL. This function is described in detail in the B-CONTROL user manual.
