8:8 Mapping MIDI CCs to BFD2 controls
To map MIDI continuous controllers (CCs) to BFD2 controls, select ‘MIDI CC’ as the automation type.
Automation source table in MIDI CC view
When ‘MIDI CCs’ is selected as the automation type, the automa-
tion source table switches to MIDI CC mode. It is comprised of three
columns.
CC ID
There are 128 available CCs per MIDI channel in the MIDI specifica-
tion, with an ID from 0-127. MIDI CCs are listed in the table arranged
numerically by their IDs.
CC Name
Many CCs are commonly associated with a more meaningful name,
which is listed in this column.
Parameter
When a mapping has been created, the assigned BFD2 parameter is shown in this column.
When no mapping exists for a CC, this column is blank.
Mode
This column allows 2 different modes of MIDI CC control behaviour.
Continuous (default)
This is the default mode and the most obvious way to control a fader or knob in BFD2 – the fader
or knob’s value follows the MIDI CC values continuously.
Switch
This mode is intended to be used when controlling buttons in BFD2 with MIDI CCs. When you set this mode for a MIDI CC to note
assignment, the MIDI CC range is divided in two, with each half of the range setting the state of the assigned button.

Creating a MIDI CC mapping
1. First make sure that ‘MIDI CCs’ is selected as the automation type.
2. Find the BFD2 parameter you want to assign in the BFD2 parameters column list.
3. In the automation source table, find the MIDI CC with which you want to automate the BFD2 parameter. You can use the learn
mode function and send values for the relevant CC in order to jump to and select the desired CC.
4. Drag and drop the parameter from the ‘BFD2 parameters’ list to the desired CC in the ‘Automation parameters’ table.
Alternatively, you can also select the desired MIDI CC in the ‘Automation parameters’ table and double-click the desired param-
eter in the ‘BFD2 parameter’ list.
5. If required, set the Mode of the assignment to Switch (if controlling a button).
Mapping indication in BFD2 parameter table
If a BFD2 parameter has been mapped to a MIDI CC or note, it is highlighted in yellow in the BFD2 parameter list.
Mapping an already-mapped BFD2 parameter
If a BFD2 parameter is already mapped to a MIDI CC or note, creating a new mapping for the parameter results in erasing the
previous mapping.
