BCF2000 is a set of four Quartz Composer Clips I assembled.

These clips make integrating the Behringer BCF2000 MIDI controller into your Quartz Composer setup a little easier.

Just drag out the control you need, then connect the (conveniently labeled!) outputs to the patch of your desiring.

• ChannelPush outputs the two pushbuttons above each of the eight channels.
• ChannelSlide outputs the eight faders.
• ChannelSpin outputs the eight rotary encoders (both the rotational and pushbutton controls).
• RightPush outputs the auxiliary buttons on the right side of the controller.

In order for these Clips to work with your controller, you'll need to two things:

• Modify the Clips to point to the MIDI input of your BCF2000.  Open each of the Clips (located in /Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Quartz Composer/Clips/), select the “MIDI Controllers” patch, open the Inspector, go to Settings, and check the appropriate MIDI Source.
• Apply one of these SYSEX patches to your BCF2000 to set up MIDI mappings that match these Clips.
  • smokris-bcf2000.zeroDotOff.syx — Maps all available knobs, buttons, and faders to 7-bit customcontrollers.  Even the preset-changing buttons are mapped, so you can't exit this patch except via Behringer's java editor.  When knobs are at zero, the collar LED is off.
  • smokris-bcf2000.zeroDotOn.syx — Same as above, except that when knobs are at zero, the collar LED is on.

In this demo, all buttons, knobs, and faders are assigned to provide some sort of visual feedback.  It's not pretty, but it's useful as a quick functionality check.
