Your B-CONTROL sends MIDI data to the computer and
receives parameter feedback, provided that the software you are
controlling supports this function. MIDI IN and OUT A are available
as a 16-channel MIDI interface for your computer. OUT B functions
as MIDI THRU and forwards MIDI IN data unchanged. OUT B is
not accessible from the computer, and doesn’t send any control
data from the B-CONTROL. This mode is ideal for applications in
which you control music software on your computer and at the
same time need a USB MIDI interface with one IN and one OUT.
Additionally, a MIDI keyboard can be tapped into at the MIDI THRU
(OUT B) connector. This way, you can use a master keyboard to
import your arrangements into the sequencer, or to play back
software synths. OUT A controls a hardware sampler, while a
MIDI expander (sound generator without a keyboard; e.g. a rack
synthesizer or a pure preset unit), an effects processor or similar
can be connected at OUT B, whereby it is directly controlled only
from the keyboard or is controlled only via program changes.
USB-Mode U-3:

This is surely the most often used “standard mode” with
computer applications.
This setting is optimal for controlling software while all MIDI
connectors are used as a USB-MIDI interface for the computer. With
this function, there are 16 input channels and 32 output channels
available to your music software (IN and OUT A + OUT B).
The B-CONTROL transmits its data via USB to the computer.
The availability of parameter feedback from the computer to the
B-CONTROL depends on the software your are controlling. MIDI
expanders can not be directly accessed from the keyboard in this
operating mode. This operating mode is only used to import MIDI
tracks into the sequencer.
