My nice new BFC2000 was delivered yesterday, and

has an astonishing range of configuration possibilites, and unlike many units
is reasonably quick and easy to program from the unit itself.
Good to know.
The faders can be ordinary CCs, specifically pitch
bend or any NRPN. The NRPNs
can be full 14 bit data or 7 bit and can be absolute or incremental.
I knew the encoders could be incremental, but faders is a new one on me.
I can't confirm the resolution of either the pitch
bend or NRPN modes, but it is
greater than the accuracy of the sliders themselves - when used as an NRPN and
steadily moving the slider up, a fractional movement can actually send a
slightly lower value - which suggests it's reading discontinuites in the
carbon track.
That could very well be why Mackie limited their faders to 10 bits (last 4
bits zeroed).
