Hardware Enhancement for Your Digital Workflow

Bridging the gap of the analog/digital divide, the BCF2000 gives you command over your virtual gear in programs like Cubase®, Cakewalk®, Logic® Audio, Ableton®, and a multitude of other major audio software apps. While software-based music creation has done much to eliminate the bulky inconvenience of hardware rigs, it has left a void in the realm of tactile, real-time control. It is this void that the BCF2000 fills with style.

All Hands on Deck

The BCF2000 is an innovative, hands-on control surface with ultra-precise 100-mm motorized faders for the ultimate control of virtual mixers, organ-drawbars, synths and samplers. You can make coordinated simultaneous fades that can’t be performed with a mouse—and the faders are motorized for automated control!

Full-Featured

The BCF2000 is USB compatible and provides full MIDI In/Out/Thru capability. The eight (8) endless rotary encoders, each with a 15-element LED indicator, have a special push-to-set function that allows you to select, adjust and control a myriad of functions. Assign a dedicated knob, fader or key to your most frequently used functions and make edits without touching the mouse. Tweak “front panel” settings by simply turning a knob or sliding a fader. It’s like having the real knobs and faders for every control on the screen! Best of all, discover just how awesome MIDI can be!

Get Hooked Up

Simply connect your BCF2000 to your computer via USB. Then assign and control MIDI/audio sequencers, software mixers or virtual synths/plug-ins with real knobs and faders—without using your mouse! You’ll spend less time reaching for your mouse and more time enjoying music creation!

Redefine how you make music. Be in control with the BCF2000! Stop by your local BEHRINGER dealer and push those faders around.

Reviews

COMPUTER MUSIC

October 2004

At only GBP140, the BCR2000 looks as pretty as a Christmas tree when lit up […] and it may well be the only MIDI controller you’ll ever need. So what do we think overall? Well, if the other MIDI controller manufacturers aren’t already quaking their boots, then they should be. […]

The BEHRINGER B-CONTROL series not only blows every other controller in this price range out of the water, but also snaps at the heels of top-of-the-range professional controllers that cost towards GBP1000 or even more. […]

COMPUTER MUSIC says… Tons of hands-on control, and professional, high quality mixing capability at an incredibly low price.

Rating: 9/10

future music Magazine

January 2006

"Behringer's BCF2000 with its eight motorized faders and BCR2000 with its 32 rotary encoders provide a hell of a lot of hands-on control for a street price well belowe $400 for both. These compact devices provide USB-based, freely assignable external control of a wide range of software applications like Reason, Live, Cubase, Sonar, Logic Pro and more as well as soft synths and effects plug-ins."

FUTURE MUSIC

October 2004

Both controllers are very strong products that are going to force many other manufacturers to look long and hard at their designs and prices. In particular, the BCF2000 brings motorized fader technology to the world at a fraction of what you might have expected to pay until this very day […].

FUTURE MUSIC says… “BEHRINGER go to the top of the low-cost class yet again and leave the competition standing.”
