Reviews from the Press
October 2004
COMPUTER MUSIC

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

"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

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.”

Bugfixes:

  • BSOD removed when device was using USB-3 mode and Logic was started

  • Audio was distorted in case of heavy midi traffic

Enhancements:

  • in some early models of BCF2000 a switch from or to LC, BC or MC Mode causes the device to not work correctly if the user does not wait at least 7 seconds after switching off the device before switching it on again. A system message will now pop up saying : “The I/O device is configured incorrectly or the configuration parameters to the driver are incorrect.” In that case just click that box, switch off the BCF2000 wait for at least 7 seconds and switch it on again. 

  • The DLL was removed.
