Unlike using a mouse, the BCR2000 allows you to make multiple adjustments simultaneously—as many as your fingers will allow.

Full-Featured

The BCR2000 is USB compatible, features full MIDI In/Out/Thru capability and 32 endless rotary encoders, each with a 15-element LED indicator. Eight of these encoders have a special push-to-set function allowing you to select, adjust and control a myriad of functions. Assign a dedicated knob or button to your most frequently used functions and make edits, all without touching a mouse. Tweak “front panel” settings by simply turning a knob. It’s like having the real knobs for every control on your computer screen. Best of all, discover just how awesome MIDI can be!

Get Hooked Up

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

Winner of the COMPUTER MUSIC EDITOR’s CHOICE, PERFORMANCE and VALUE FOR MONEY AWARD

January 2006
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."

KEYS

Keys, the respected German music magazine has given the B-CONTROL ROTARY BCR2000 a glowing review in their October issue, out now. Using the BCR2000 is “child’s play”, they write and describe the internal software as “reliable and uncomplicated.”

Using it with external software applications is “a pleasure”, Keys believes and encourage “control freaks and sound designers” to “snatch this up.”

The controller is USB compatible, features full MIDI In/Out/Thru capability and includes 8 endless rotary encoders, each with a 15-element LED indicator plus a push-to-set function, that let you select, adjust, set and control a myriad of functions.

Push functions, which are assigned with Program Change commands, can now be stepped up and down (increment/decrement). The size of the steps is also programmable so if your presets are arranged in banks of a fixed size (eg. 8 presets per bank), V1.10 allows you to step up and down through the banks as well as preset for preset.

This version also incorporates a pair of bug fixes regarding MIDI clock data and transmission of NRPNs in GS/XG mode.

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.
