Use for 1 month and avecreason live, the beast is really made for these two there!
I have almost all controlers essey price <€ 450, including master keyboards.
being one of the cheapest with more controllers, the price / quality ratio is pretty good, but not expect super knobs ...
+ I hesitate before making that choice but I think I fall for the price and ease of use.
(+) Number of knobs, recognition of instruments and their Control Change (CC) in Reason, LED controls. instead reduced connection and a USB midi in midi out + 1 + 1 MIDI Through.
(-) Poor quality of the knobs (by reading other reviews I wonder if my BCR has no manufacturing defects), the LEDs slow race knobs that are already not very stable! They are, cons, very useful to detect controllers and follow their course.
Some knobs have a different race than the others, one feels the mechanical or LEDs that limit.
the display is hard to follow the values of the controllers, especially when it moves 2. it serves just to change the CC manual, but it is very long. to install the presets editor of BCR / BCF in PC you must install the "Java 2 Runtime Environment JRE" crashing my bike every time ...
I find the knobs / buttons a little gadget, I would have preferred + stable, well anchored in the base / surface with a deep mechanical + ... the coup may be that the others were of the same caliber.
Before the bcr I was convinced to have small hands, there are exactly 2cm between each knob and they are less than 2cm high, my little fingers just go in and it's better to be seated at his feet keyboard. Touch the + is not pleasant, I prefer the soft rubber of PCR or even a little hard changes, we want to talc as climbing.
Otherwise, the race of endless knobs is really not a problem, however ... you can let go of the movement and return to 0 with a snap without worry (my sound card delivers me with 6 msec latency, I do not know if it to see)
I had eight knobs on my keyboard roland PCR and frankly they have to be nice + small, they are much better to play the cut-off on synths and midi programming ... if they had had 16 (no faders) I would not have bought the BCR (rather look to the BCF), although it is very easy to connect and to add all of the natural lines in a twelve o'clock wink, just with the factory presets! (Slightly modified to fit other machines, it is on)
In short, it is a product that matches the name of cheap Behr. it is very practical, well thought out software for the easy of + time (for a while anyway), allows a greater freedom + Decreation but its use is restricted to a fixed home studio, live or not there is a risk of have worries!
I think I have a nifty tool to animate my components but does not shorten the long process of recording commeune control surface with several midi channels can do ... MIDI Through is good but it removes one of my MIDI smallpox PCR (I'm not too bent the top as they work well together in usb)
I have spent many hours fiddling with sound and happy, and I do not regret this purchase for this, 24 knobs (three groups of 8) more than enough to program any virtual machine on the market.
It can chain to a BCF, if the faders are good (really good knobs to compensate for the BCR) all may be interested.
