Hardware Enhancement for Your Digital Workflow
Bridging the gap of the analog/digital divide, the BCR2000 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 BCR2000 fills with style.
All Hands on Deck
The BCR2000 is an innovative, hands-on control surface with a total of 32 endless rotary encoders for the ultimate control of virtual synths, samplers, effects and signal processors. How about more intuitively controlling your synth or MIDI expander? With the BCR2000 controller this is reality—intuitive control with a real hands-on feel! 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 (8) of these rotary encoders have a special push-to-set function, allowing you to select, adjust and control a myriad of functions. Assign a dedicated knob or key to your most frequently used functions and make edits without touching the mouse. Tweak “front panel” settings by simply turning a knob. It’s like having the real knobs for every control on the screen! Best of all, discover just how awesome MIDI can be!Get Hooked Up
Simply connect your BCR2000 to your computer via USB. Then assign and control MIDI/audio sequencers, software mixers or virtual synths/plug-ins with real knobs. You’ll spend less time reaching for your mouse and more time enjoying music creation!

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

"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
October 2005
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.
