5. APPLICATIONS
This is a professional-style studio setup with much more external
equipment than in the previous examples. The MIDI network is
also expanded; the entire studios MIDI equipment is connected
to a central MIDI patchbay, which in turn is connected to the
BCA2000. The audio inputs are augmented via an analog mixing
console that submixes all sound sources (microphones,
keyboards, sound modules, samplers etc.) and feeds them into
the B-CONTROL as a stereo sum signal.
The
MIDI equipment
includes a MIDI keyboard and the two
BEHRINGER MIDI controllers BCF2000 and BCR2000 as input
devices. Similarly, the sampler and sound module A as well all
MIDI-capable effects processors (here: ULTRACURVE PRO
DEQ2496, V-VERB PRO REV2496 and VIRTUALIZER PRO
DSP2024P) are all connected to the MIDI patchbay. The patchbay
is connected to the BCA2000 via MIDI IN and MIDI OUT A, which
in turn transmits the entire studios MIDI data through a maximum
of 16 MIDI channels to your computer. Using the second MIDI
output of your BCA2000 (OUT B), you can address additional
MIDI devices using up to 16 additional MIDI channels.
The
Audio wiring
follows a submixing scheme: all microphones,
sound modules, effects processors and other gear such as
CD players, drum computers etc. are connected to an analog
mixing console (here: BEHRINGER EURODESK SL3242FX-PRO).
The stereo sum signal from the mixer is fed into the line inputs of
your BCA2000.
