Fig. 3.1: The BCD3000’s control elements

3.1 Control surface

You can either specify the input source for Deck A in the Control

Panel (Windows only) or with MIDI commands (see Chapter 6.3).

For Deck B, select the input source on the rear panel of the device

(Phono/Line switch [38]).

The microphone input section (MIC INPUT)

[1] Set the volume of the microphone signal with the MIC LEVEL control.

[2] The CLIP LED illuminates as soon as the microphone signal level is too high

and could possibly cause audible distortion. If this happens, slightly turn the

MIC LEVEL control counter-clockwise.

The FX CONTROL section

This section allows you to select and control eﬀects with the BCD3000. In the

manual of the TRAKTOR 3 LE software (as PDF in the TRAKTOR 3 LE folder under

“Documentation”), you can ﬁnd the available eﬀects.

[3] The microphone input section has a 2-band equalizer (EQ HIGH for high

frequencies and EQ LOW for low frequencies).

[9] The ON button activates the eﬀects section.

[4] Select the input source with the buttons EXT IN A / EXT IN B. If the buttons

are not pressed (LEDs are oﬀ), the Deck A and B signals in the TRAKTOR 3 LE

software are played back. If you press one of the buttons (LEDs light up),

the analog input signal of the BCD3000 is passed on to the corresponding

deck in the TRAKTOR software. On Deck A, the Phono input A [36]or

microphone signal is played back. On Deck B, you hear the input B signal

(Phono or CD).

[10] The FX ▼button switches to the preceding available eﬀect.

[11] The FX ▲button switches to the next available eﬀect.

The assignment of the four controls [5]– [8]and the ACTION button [12]depends

on the selected eﬀect.

The OUTPUT section

[29] Press the PLAY button to begin playback. Press this button a second time to

stop playback. By pressing PLAY again, playback continues from the point at

which it was stopped.

[13] The CUE A and CUE B buttons allow you to listen in on Deck A or B. Keep the

respective button pressed to feed the signal of Deck A or Deck B to the

Headphone output [14].

Every time playback is stopped, the cue point is placed at the current song

position. You can ﬁnd information on the CUE function in Chapter 5.2.

[14] The PHONES output (¼" stereo connector) is used for

connecting headphones.

[30] Press the CUE button to stop playback and return to the last set cue point.

[15] The PHONES VOL control lets you adjust the volume level of the

Headphone output [14].

By keeping the CUE button pressed, the music begins at the cue point and

continues until you let go of the button. Then, the deck jumps back to the

cue point. You can ﬁnd information on the CUE function in Chapter 5.2.

[16] The PHONES MIX control is used to adjust the relation between the stereo

MASTER OUT and MONITOR OUT signal. When the control is turned fully left, [31] BEND buttons: Press the UP button (+) to increase the playback speed.

you hear the MONITOR OUT signal, and when turned fully right, you hear the

lets you match the beats of two playing tracks.

[17] The KEY DECK A+B button is used to activate the “Key Lock” function of

the TRAKTOR 3 LE software. The “pitching” of a track usually changes both

the music’s speed (tempo) and pitch/key. The “Key Lock” function (or Master

Tempo) makes sure the pitch is retained. Find more on this topic in the PDF

manual of TRAKTOR 3 LE.

[32] The Pitch fader adjusts the playback speed seamlessly.

[33] Use the SEARCH buttons to move forward or backward in a song.

[34] The function performed by the scratch wheel depends on whether the deck

is in PLAY or PAUSE mode.

[18] Set the volume of the MASTER output with the MASTER OUTPUT control.

[19] The POWER ON-LED lights up when the BCD3000 is switched on.

In PLAY mode, re-create the analog feel by using the wheel to nudge

(turn wheel to the right) or slow down (turn wheel to the left), allowing you

to easily match the speed of the current deck to the speed of the other

deck playing. Press the SCRATCH button in order for you to scratch with

the wheel.

The deck sections A and B

The control elements of decks A and B are the same. However, some of them are

grouped the opposite way round. We will therefore describe the elements to

only once. All of these control elements refer to the software functions which can

be “remotely” controlled from the BCD3000.

In PAUSE mode, you can use the wheel to move back and forth through the

song. You can also scratch with the wheel by pressing the SCRATCH button.

3.2 The rear panel

[20] The CROSSFADER is used to fade between deck A and deck B.

[21] The GAIN control allows you to adjust the deck signal to a nominal level.

[22] Each deck features a 3-band equalizer (HI, MID and LOW) with kill feature.

Thus, the signal can be attenuated to a much greater extent (-24 dB) than it

can be raised (+12 dB).

The KILL buttons, which are found below the EQ controllers, allow you

to cut out the relevant frequency range at the push of a button. This way

you can achieve interesting ﬁlter eﬀects. The function is also required for

beat juggling.

[23] The SET CUE button sets a cue point at the current position of the track

being played. This happens without interrupting playback. You can ﬁnd

information on the CUE function in Chapter 5.2.

[40]

[39] [38] [37] [36] [35]

[24] SET LOOP allows you to set the start and end points of a four-beat sequence

that is to be played back repeatedly (loop). The ﬁrst time this button is

pressed, the start point of the loop is set and the following four beats

are repeated as often as you like. Press the button a second time to stop

the loop.

Most people cannot hear latencies below 10 ms. When audio signals are

passing through a computer, it is impossible to achieve a 0-ms latency.

The BCD3000 control panel allows you to control some general settings of the

BCD3000. The control panel will be available in the system as soon as the driver

has been installed and the BCD3000 has been connected and switched on.

To start the control panel software, click on the BCD3000 control panel symbol in

the task bar at the bottom right of your screen.

The WDM/MME page:

The following basic settings can be selected in the control panel:

GLOBAL MODE selection:

If STANDARD is selected, you can only adjust the input source for IN A

(Mic or Phono A) and the driver latency on the ASIO page (see below).

The outputs are assigned as follows:

•

CH 1-2: channels 1-2 are always routed to the MASTER OUT,

CH 3-4: channels 3-4 are always routed to the PHONES OUT.

Additionally, the BCD3000’s MIDI characteristics diﬀer from those in ADVANCED

mode (see below). In ADVANCED mode, all selection options are available in the

ASIO window.

Fig. 4.3: The WDM/MME window in the BCD3000 control panel

Use the WDM/MME driver if your music software does not support ASIO

(e. g. most software media players).

The ASIO page:

RECORD SELECT allows you to select BCD3000 input IN A or IN B for

2-channel recording.

When you choose IN A, you can determine in the left-hand ﬁeld whether the

phono or microphone signal will be recorded.

PLAYBACK of this driver type is always stereo (channels 1-2). For this reason,

the MASTER OUT connectors on the rear panel and the PHONES connector on the

front panel always provide the same music signal.

The MIDI page:

Fig. 4.2: The ASIO window in the BCD3000 control panel

This is where you adjust all parameters of the ASIO driver. The TRAKTOR 3 LE

software uses ASIO as is the case with most professional music applications.

You can only select one software button per ﬁeld.

In the ﬁeld IN A (CH 1-2), you can select the input source to be routed to the

computer on channels 1-2 (Record).

In the MASTER OUT section, you can select the playback channels CH 1-2 or

CH 3-4 for the main outputs (Playback).

In the PHONES OUT ﬁeld, you can select the playback channels CH 1-2 or CH 3-4

Fig. 4.4: The MIDI window in the BCD3000 control panel

for the headphones connector (Playback).

On the MIDI page no parameters can be set. It only informs you about the various

MIDI modes, depending on the GLOBAL MODE selected:

Use Driver Latency to adjust the latency in order to optimize your computer’s

performance. If you set the control to “low” this will optimize the response

of your BCD3000, but also increase the processor workload. In extreme cases,

this can lead to clicking and drop-outs in the audio signal. The “mid” position

gives you a good compromise between processor workload and the response

time of the BCD3000. A “high” latency ensures trouble-free performance even

on slow computers.

In STANDARD mode, the buttons are “toggle oﬀ”, i. e. when you release a button

after pressing, the MIDI command is set back to its original value (like when you

release a key on a keyboard).

In STANDARD mode, all LEDs can be switched on and oﬀ individually with

speciﬁc MIDI commands.

◊

“Latency” is the time that elapses between an operator action on the

BCD3000 (e. g. pressing the PLAY button) and the actual output of the

audio signal from the OUT connectors. Latency depends on the system

used and the processing speed of your computer. Typical latencies

are in the milliseconds range (1 ms = one thousandth of a second).

In ADVANCED mode, all buttons are “toggle on”, i. e. press = “switch on”;

press again = “switch oﬀ” the MIDI function (similar to a light switch).

In ADVANCED mode, the response of the button LEDs depends on the respective

button, i. e. LED on = “function enabled”, LED oﬀ = “function disabled”.

5. Operation

Program launch

The control concept of the BCD3000 is designed to be extremely intuitive so

that you master it quickly. All control elements have been arranged in such a

way that you may already know from a DJ mixer or DJ CD player. The software’s

user interface reﬂects the console of the BCD3000, allowing you to immediately

control as many functions as possible with the B-CONTROL, without having to use

the computer’s mouse.

After you have successfully installed the driver and TRAKTOR 3 LE software,

run the program. First, boot your computer, and then switch on the BCD3000.

XP: The computer detects the driver and displays the Control Panel

icon. Start the TRAKTOR 3 LE program from the Start Menu:

Start > All Programs > Native Instruments TRAKTOR 3 LE >

TRAKTOR 3 LE.

5.1 First steps

Mac: Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > TRAKTOR 3 LE and double-click

the program icon “TRAKTOR 3 LE”.

Wiring

The output section

First of all, connect all the devices you need to the BCD3000. Make sure the unit

is oﬀ before connecting it to other equipment. If you want to use the BCD3000

without additional audio sources (CD player, turntable, microphone), you only

need to wire the outputs:

Set the volume of the MASTER output with the MASTER control. The MASTER

output always provides the signal routed to the crossfader.

Adjust the volume level of the headphones with the PHONES VOL control [15].

The PHONES MIX control [16]lets you adjust the balance between the

Monitor/CUE signal (fully left) and the Master output signal (fully right).

The Track Collection

Create your own Track Collection by selecting the menu item Preferences

(top right) > Browser Preferences > Data Location. Click “Add” on the

bottom right of the dialog box, and then select the folder you want to add.

real-time functions (such as EQ, cut-oﬀ ﬁlter, eﬀects, fader, crossfader, etc.).

Controlling these functions is just as intuitive as the internal mixing.

CUE function

The CUE function lets you place a cue point within a piece of music. A cue point

marks the position in a tune that you can specify. This will primarily be a point in

the track to which you want to return later, in order to play the track from that

point, for example.

SET LOOP [24]

RELOOP [25]

In this setup, the standard setup shown in ﬁg. 5.1 is expanded by adding two

turntables and a microphone. The connection to the computer and the other

peripheral devices is the same as in example 1.

The ﬁrst time the SET LOOP button [24]is pressed, a 4-beat loop starts seamlessly

on the next beat—the LED of the RELOOP button lights up in this case. To stop

the loop, press the same button (SET LOOP [24]) again—the LED of the RELOOP

button goes out. The music continues at the end of the loop without any pause.

Connect the outputs of the turntables to the inputs A and B. When using

input B, the PHONO/LINE switch needs to be in the “PHONO” position.

Optionally, you can connect a CD player to input B. In this case, the PHONO/LINE

switch needs to be in the LINE position. Activate the inputs by pressing the input

source buttons EXT IN A or EXT IN B [4]. You are able to manage up to four source

signals by switching between the analog source and the software signal.

This loop is stored until you load a new song into the deck. Press the RELOOP [25]

button to call up the saved loop again. Press the SET LOOP button [24]to exit.

When the LED of the RELOOP button is oﬀ, press the SET LOOP button [24]to

specify a new loop.

You can connect a dynamic microphone by using the available MIC input,

which has an XLR connector. There is a MIC LEVEL control in the MIC INPUT

section with which you can adjust the volume level of the microphone

signal. The EQ controls LOW and HIGH let you change the microphone signal

additionally. When levels are too high, the Clip LED lights up and audible

distortion may occur. If this happens, turn the MIC LEVEL control to the left until

Sync

The Sync function is a tool in the TRAKTOR 3 LE software that synchronizes two

pieces of music for you. This function should be activated in the channel being

monitored or else the rhythm may be irregular, which would be very annoying.

In doing so, the monitored tune is matched to the piece of music currently played. the LED does not light up anymore.

The ANALOG INPUT A [36]is switchable between the microphone signal and

PHONO A. This can be done the following ways:

5.4 Signal routing

Playback with the WDM/MME driver is always in stereo, which is why the MASTER

output and the PHONES connector of the BCD3000 provide the same music signal.

With the USB interface, you can record and play back up to four audio signals

simultaneously. The signal routing is speciﬁed by the settings of the applied

software (for example, TRAKTOR 3 LE), Control Panel and the state of the buttons

on the device.

6. MIDI Control

All control functions of the BCD3000 are sent to your computer as MIDI data.

The Musical Instruments Digital Interface is a generic, non-manufacturer-speciﬁc

standard that enables communication between electronic musical instruments.

Although the BCD3000 is not equipped with the “classic” 5-pin MIDI connectors,

it still uses the MIDI protocol for data transmission via USB. Thus, the BCD3000

can also control third-party software, as long as it is able to “speak” MIDI. In turn,

the BCD3000 can receive MIDI data and use them to show the switching status of

the button LEDs.

continuously, to be transmitted in real time. Button functions are sent with

Note commands. You can match the MIDI commands to the software functions

in the DJ software of your choice. Please note that the diﬀerent behaviors of

the LED control and the buttons’ Toggle On/Oﬀ mode depend on the selected

GLOBAL MODE, as explained in Chapter 4.2 under “The MIDI Tab”.

6.1 Sending control change functions

The WDM/MME driver supports playback/recording of 2 audio signals.

For 2-channel recording you can select input IN A or IN B in the WDM/MME

window of the control panel. When you choose IN A, you can also determine the

signal to be recorded (Phono A or MIC).

All rotary knobs, faders, wheels and the crossfader are control elements that

send CC data. A CC number is assigned to each control element; the transmitted

absolute values range between 0 and 127. The Scratch wheels are the exception,

owing to the fact that continuous encoders do not transmit absolute values.

They send value changes (increment = +1, decrement = -1) when used.

The following table shows the regular assignment of CC numbers categorized in

function groups.

When you select IN B, you can use the PHONE/LINE switch to determine the

signal to be recorded (phono or line).

6.3 Receiving MIDI commands

6.2 Sending button functions

The reception of MIDI data also allows for transmitting commands from

third-party DJ software to your BCD3000. Although this function is not necessary

to control the device from the software, you can still display the switching status

of button LEDs, which enables you to work more intuitively.

All switching elements (buttons) of the BCD3000 transmit MIDI note commands.

When you press a button, the system sends a “note on” command, together with

the corresponding note number. When the button is released, the system

transmits a “note oﬀ” command.

All button LEDs receive MIDI control change data (on/oﬀ). If the controller value

transmitted is between 0 and 63, this value corresponds to the switched-oﬀ

status (LED oﬀ). If the value is 64 or higher (max. 127), the LED illuminates.

Press (and hold) a button = note on / release a button = note oﬀ.

(For a permanent note-on command, please select “toggle on” in the software.)

Acceleration behavior of the Wheels:

Both wheels are automatically selected when the acceleration option is switched

In TRAKTOR 3 LE, this means the following:

•

In PLAY mode, you can speed up or slow down the track quicker.

In PAUSE mode, you can move quicker through the track.

The value change relates directly to the wheel’s speed when scrolled manually.

When the SCRATCH button is activated, the acceleration is temporarily turned oﬀ

in order to ensure an optimum scratch behavior.
