<title>Using the Mackie driver for MCU and BCF2000</title>
|

<para>
|
|
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 add at the top, with
|
|
the other ports:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<MIDI-port tag="mcu" device="/dev/snd/midiC2D0" type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
If you have a BCF2000, and you'd like to use <link linkend="mackie-bcf-mode">BCF mode</link>,
|
|
you can also add under the <Config> tag:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<Option name="mackie-emulation" value="bcf"/>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
It is also possible to add MCU extenders, although this is untested
|
|
because nobody we know has access to one right now. To do this, add
|
|
the following lines to <filename>~/.ardour2/ardour.rc</filename>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<MIDI-port tag="mcu_xt_1" device="/dev/snd/midiC3D0" type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>
|
|
<MIDI-port tag="mcu_xt_2" device="/dev/snd/midiC4D0" type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
and so on, one for each of your extenders, up to a maximum of 9 extenders.

Start up ardour. Go to Options/Control Surfaces. You should see "Mackie"
|
|
as one of the menu items. Turn it on. The faders on the surface should
|
|
jump to the correct positions. The mackie should work as normal, except
|
|
that any buttons not on the BCF won't work.
