All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer B-Control Rotary BCR2000

about 4 months of repeated use
I fly in old synth MIDI
I love how quickly parameterize the bypass, the two outputs
I do not like the system to put labels and annotate my settings, I went to POST IT, I do not like the plastic casing.

record is available, the possibilities are enormous, including making a chaining between BCR
USB is a genius idea
ca ages if one considers the known mine to live, and now the technival my room.
I do not bugg, no latency, apparent led witnesses are MIDI messages sent receipts and

I have a mini pride to see that Laurent Garnier, Daft Punk and JUSTICE also fly with AC, like what, at behringer, there's also good stuff

I have been using the B Control Rotary BCR2000 in Cubase and even in Logic on my Mac for a long time now. The control surface of the BCR2000 gave me complete control over all of my virtual synths that I was using. This unit is so well made it actually feels like knobs that are on some expensive Motif or Fantom keyboards. You can have 4 groups and 32 presets with each group. It can be connected to your computer through USB or through standard MIDI connections. Using the BCR2000 will change the way your workflow is without a problem. It will take some time to fully remember how you have everything set up if you choose to save it as a preset, because there really are not any labels or any places to put labels so you can remember. There are blank spaces so you can write in your own labels that you may want but I just don’t like that because it can get sloppy if you want to move things around or change things up after time using a pen then having to scratch out words and write more. The unit has a good weight to it, it does not feel cheap or plastic like. It does also come with a power connection to a wall outlet.

Using it with Reason was probably the easiest to set it up with and start using it. Cubase took a little more work and so did Logic. It also runs great in Ableton Live and Sonar. It is very versatile and can be used to control anything you want. As long as you are using Windows XP or higher then it will work with your system. If you do need some new drivers you can easily download them from Behringer’s website and you can also get all of the support you need. This unit is also backed by a factory warranty as long as the damage is not your fault they will fix it or give you a new one.

I was looking désespérémant a MIDI controller, a vraix!! which has an input and output ports DIN, not USB's!
Result smashes it all: a midi in, midi out and two usb ... concéquence I alegre pilot filters and envelope expendeurs of my fingertips (ATC1X among others) while sending the message notes from my sequencer.
Its functions merge, thru, are ideal for Hardware!

Conclusion:
you guessed it I use it mostly to drive my keyboard and expendeur which has no knob, and it works a lot!
Its different config (see instructions on the manufacturer's website) allow the blow to locate the center of your home studio!
Easy to program, I am delighted, only downside: a little plastoc finish anyway, but this eprix falait not expect the cabinet knobs in wood and chrome ....

For technical dtails see the comrade of a cot ...
I can add a notice that will attnuer the enthusiasm of some.
Overall, this machine is worth the dtour and report quality price seems good rev ... But I carry your attention to a point prcis: do not trust the information that the prsentent BCR2000 as a miracle plug and play! The assignment is supposed, if we are to rfre documentation, be automatic thanks to a learn mode which, in fact, works only in cases trs prcis ... For example, in Cubase, everything must be set "by hand". In addition to some versions of Cubase (SE at least I do not know SL) does not paramtres Access in the VST-I ...

In résumé is an area of ​​CONTRL not easier to use than others ... if you buy it, because you met your commands it offers, not for its simplicity ...

Party to purchase a UC16, I compltement hearts seeing this thing (there's no other word ...) in a glass case. A 149 euros against 109 for the UC16, which resemble a toy in comparison Bontempi, j'tais dj relatively happy with my dpense. But it is the connection of the bcr Hallu really begins ... Since I sleep with, there is nothing that this machine comes out of it or I do not know, and the competition is far away derrire dropped. No hsitation controller is what you need.

Small BMOL ngatif the website Berhinger down that silent when g wanted download any manufacturer drivers (it works even when the drivers with XP or 98SE noon) over the explanatory are really not clear, we shuffled between a few drivers, software, & Updates

I use the BCR2000 for the past 1 year and a half.

it's companion when one wishes to control idalie mulitude of virtual pots. Special mention to switch buttons not always present on the controller of this price range ... Rotary are endless and a good size.

So she filled his role well enough and in time we really do Aprende without it in the compositions. live crowns led her to more clearly who desire to remain in the nail "laptop"!

missing can be a little bland for some cross vst ...

I also aprci that it serve as an interface noon (gnial vieu my keyboard I use a Casio something now) and the possibility to connect two footswitch
(Aisment we imagine the usefulness of the thing when you're guitar).
RAPORT good quality prices subject seems fairly good quality product but all the same atention finish small details ... I switch on off the back side seems lightweight walking, nothing dramatic, either.

with the experience I do not regret my purchase and if I had the same budget I do it again nd choice ... But it is undeniable that if one has a bigger stock market may think twice and maybe if we can test other controllers before you buy.

I have been using 1moi.
this is my first midi controller.

The +:
zero latency in traktor scratch pro, ableton ...
space between buttons
endless knobs very useful when changing presets in ableton.

the -:
quality plastic (such as UC-33)
I had to send it in for repair after 2 days because one of the top push knobs had a bad contact.
B-CONTROL software that never works and its beug mac it can not even find my table.
Lack of slipmaps adapted to different presets like those supplied with the UC-33 or Xone 2D/1D.
missing a few sliders.

good value for money, it's really cheap and the possibilities are enormous.
Jereferai this choice without hesitation with this budget is a very good controller despite these defects, and my apprehension about the brand ... Certainly I mix on a Pioneer but hey this is cool so the price for all low budget I strongly advice rather than the CPU 33 that I just had the time to test and which is really a handheld console! I do not understand how anyone could mix with it (which is what most people who buy it).

I've been using it for one month.
It's my first Midi controller.

Pros:
No latency with Traktor, Scratch Pro, Ableton, etc.
Enough space between the controls
Endless rotary controls are useful when you change presets in Ableton.

Cons:
Plastic construction (same applies to the UC-33)
I had to return it after two days because a switch didn't work properly.
B-CONTROL software never works: too many bugs with a PC, doesn't support Mac.
No slipmaps for the different presets, like on the UC-33 and Xone 2D/1D.
Not enough faders.

Good value for money: huge possibilities and really affordable.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again with the same budget. In spite of the faults and cons, it's a very good controller. Good product for low budgets! I just tried out the UC33 and it's much too small! I don't understand how people can mix with it.
