S-1 is probably the most frequently used standard operating
mode among the stand-alone applications. We recommend using
it when you for example want to control two sound generators
from your B-CONTROL, whereby both sound generators are
played simultaneously from a master keyboard. To do this, MIDI
data from the B-CONTROL and the keyboard have to be mixed
and transmitted on both MIDI OUTs. This is done using the
integrated merge function. The master keyboard is connected to
the MIDI input of the B-CONTROL. Both expanders played from
the master keyboard and controlled by the B-CONTROL are
connected at the MIDI outputs. Control data for the BCF2000/
BCR2000 will probably be program change and real-time
controller commands, while the keyboard will typically transmit
keyboard commands (note on/off, velocity, after touch, pitch bend).
Stand Alone-Mode S-2:
Fig. 4.7: Routing and use in stand-alone mode 2
Say you want to control just one sound generator from your
B-CONTROL because the tone generator allows extensive editing
(e.g. it’s a rack synthesizer or a sampler, as shown above). The
MIDI keyboard should be able to play both sound generators. In
this case, S-2 is the optimal setup. The second sound module
can be a pure preset unit that doesn’t allow any programming.
However, it can also be an effects unit that only receives program
commands from the keyboard. This operating mode is also very
useful when the data received by the second unit is undesired
and could otherwise disrupt operation (e.g. to MIDI functions that
cannot be switched off or the MIDI channel can not be changed).
