RCP-2001 Description

The Remote Control Unit RCP-2001 is available
in two different designs. The RCP-2000-A is
equipped with a conventional Pitch-Slider. The
RCP-2001-B is equipped with Pitch-Wheels
developed by ALCATech. These Pitch-Wheels
enable independent changes of Pitch value of
both Players between Software and Remote
Control Unit. It is especially of importance by
using the BPM Match function or by connecting
several Remote Control Units. Not lastly it is also
possibility to make finer regulation of Pitch values
up to 0.1 % steps. The RCP-2001 works with BPM
Studio LE and Professional from Version 4 up. In
addition to the easily readable VFD display, it is
equipped with Direct-Cue keys, Loop - Sampler
and Jog Shuttle Wheels. Among others, it allows
direct selection of titles from the File archives (only
in BPM Studio Pro software).

Operation
The Remote Control Unit controls both Players
A and B. The essential function of the unit
corresponds to the description of the player on
the corresponding pages of that manual. If the
program finds an external Remote Control Unit
and the sliders of the Remote Control Unit are
configured at Pitch during start up, then the Pitch
sliders of both players are set in the program panel
interface. Then Pitch modifications can be made
but only using the external Remote Control Unit.
The Sliders on the screen will only show the
position of the sliders.
Using the Remote Control options tab in the
program options, you can program the slide bars
of the RCP-2001-A. They are adjustable by either
Pitch or volume. If you are using the notebook
version, it is possible to mix with the RCP-2001-
A without using an external mixer. The pitch setup
will be taken over by the software.
