BFC2000 - how to run faders in greater than 7-bit mode?

Tom Swirly's icon

This is a little off-topic but I've been a long-time contributor here and I see a lot of others with this unit.

I have the BFC2000 but the faders seem to only have 7-bits' precision - even when I set the fader to 14-bit mode, I seem to see the bottom 7 bits as always zero - whether or not I use the "14-bit" mode for the fader.

(I haven't checked the encoders thoroughly but they seemed fine.)

I wasn't expecting full 14-bit precision - I was expecting more than 7-bits though.

Is this operator error on my part? Has anyone else gotten higher-precision faders sent on the unit?

Yes, this should work fine. IIRC the data is packed in LSB/MSB format.

I wrote a parsing patch to deal with this a while ago - have not tested it in a long time as my BFC2000 died. Hope these help.

Bizarre - I still see LSB/MSB but the LSB is always 0 on your patches...

OK, let me see if I made some dumb setting error on the unit - the manual is somewhat less understandable than other manuals are!

Thanks for the help...
