<title>Using the Mackie driver for MCU and BCF2000</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For Ardour 2, this will walk you through the process of configuring and
|
|
using Mackie MCU, or a BCF2000 in
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.behringerdownload.de/BCF2000/BCF2000_Emulation_modes.pdf">Logic

|
Control emulation mode</ulink>.

|
<para>
|
|
Make sure your surface is connected and you know which
|
|
<filename>/dev/snd/midi</filename> entry belongs to the device. You
|
|
can do this by saying <command>cat /proc/asound/cards</command> which
|
|
should result in something like
|
|
<screen>
|
|
0 [EWS88MT ]: ICE1712 - TerraTec EWS88MT
|
|
TerraTec EWS88MT at 0x1140, irq 21
|
|
1 [VirMIDI ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI
|
|
Virtual MIDI Card 1
|
|
2 [BCF2000 ]: USB-Audio - BCF2000
|
|
BEHRINGER BCF2000 at usb-0000:00:1a.1-1, full speed
|
|
</screen>
|
|
in this case the BCF2000 is on <filename>/dev/snd/midiC2D0</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
While ardour is not running, edit your
|
|
<filename>.ardour2/ardour.rc</filename> (and for now
|
|
<filename>etc/ardour2/ardour_system.rc</filename> and
|
|
<filename>etc/ardour2/ardour.rc</filename>) and add at the top, with
|
|
the other ports:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<MIDI-port tag="mcu" device="/dev/snd/midiC2D0" type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Optionally, there is a way to get udev to assign an attached BCF2000 a
|
|
consistent name under /dev/ however, by adding the following line to
|
|
the udev rules. On some systems, these reside in
|
|
<filename>/etc/udev/rules.d/</filename>:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
KERNEL=="midiC[0-9]D0", ATTRS{product}=="BCF2000", SYMLINK+="midi-bcf2000"
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This will cause udev to create a
|
|
<filename>/dev/midi-bcf2000</filename> for any BCF attached to the
|
|
system, regardless of which alsa card number it gets assigned.
|
|
Obviously you'd use <filename>/dev/midi-bcf2000</filename> instead of
|
|
<filename>/dev/snd/midiC2D0</filename>.

The Logic protocol allows the use of

<ulink url="http://www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/index.html">extenders</ulink>

or

<ulink url="http://www.mackie.com/home/showimage.html?u=/products/mcupro/images/MCU-ExtPro-Top.jpg">Extender

|
|
jog wheel and buttons. Once the code is fixed, it will be possible to
|
|
use either the mackie extenders, or BCF2000 units as extenders.

The Mackie must be in Logic Control mode, otherwise the LCD display

does not work. To put the unit in Logic Control mode: press and hold

channel 1+2 SELECT while turning the unit on and through

calibration; and then press the VPOT under whichever mode you wish
|
|
to use.

"Mackie" as one of the menu items. Turn it on. The faders on the

as normal, except that any buttons not on the BCF won't work.
