tbc2 beta program

Before you test

• TBC2 MK2 hardware (gen3 / Zynq-based)
• Firmware 1.2.0-rc.1 installed — confirm tbc2/1.2.0-rc.1 on the System page
• SD card with several stills loaded, in a known directory order
• MIDI controller on the configured receive channel (Type B TRS)

Testing goals

• Existing crossfade and SD color controllers

  high

  Send CC 0 and CC 16 for the encoder crossfades, and CC 1–4 / 17–20 for SD hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast. Confirm they still match the panel controls from 1.1.0.

  Pass: - CC 0 and CC 16 move Encoder A and Encoder B crossfades - CC 1–4 and 17–20 move the matching SD color controls

• Select stills from MIDI

  high

  With several images loaded, send Note On and Program Change using the file's position in card directory order (the first file is 0). Send a note past the end of the folder. Sweep CC 33 and CC 34.

  Pass: - Note On and Program Change show that Media A still - A number past the folder shows the last still - An empty folder does nothing - CC 33 and CC 34 sweep File A and File B across the folder - Note Off and velocity 0 do not change the still

• Transport and dissolve

  high

  Send CC 36–42 once each with a value of 64 or higher. Next and Previous are CC 39 and CC 40. Dissolve is CC 42. Set Fade Time with CC 5 before the dissolve.

  Pass: - Play, pause, stop, and randomize match the Media page buttons - Next and Previous step one frame and wrap - Each message fires once - CC 42 crossfades both encoders over Fade Time

• Remaining panel controllers

  medium

  Move one controller from each new group and watch the matching panel widget: fade time (CC 5), a source (CC 6), a component gain (CC 8), horizontal position (CC 14), scaler (CC 15), divide (CC 32), a ramp phase (CC 53), and an aspect toggle (CC 74).

  Pass: - Each controller moves the matching panel widget - Source order is Input A, Input B, Media A, Media B, Ramp - Scaler order is Stretch, Crop, Fit

• Trigger In modes

  medium

  On the Encoder page, try Trigger modes Play, Advance, and Dissolve with a pulse on the Trigger In jack.

  Pass: - Play advances unless the trigger is held - Advance steps one frame per rising edge - Dissolve crossfades and leaves the stills in place
