Bought to use with Zaquencer
And it does work well but I have had trouble getting my mind completely around this feature filled program. The hardware works perfectly though and I may try it as its intended use as a MIDI controller though it would mean a firmware change. The Zaquencer firmware for this hardware does turn it into a very fully featured sequencer that you would have to pay a lot more than the cost of the unit and the Zaquencer program so I recommend it if you need a sequencer for your MIDI synths.

Any opinions? I usually avoid Behringer products...but if the Duo uses it then maybe...?
One of the greats
if you are doing any midi this could possibly be one of your best controllers. Amazing design and very versatile. There is a whole community online dedicated to modding these bad boys. There is even software to turn it into a midi step sequencer!
I have two of them.

Great customizable controller
I've used the BCR2000 from 2007 to 2015 as controller for NI Traktor (Pro). Never disappointed me. Though the programming is a little bit tricky, once you have it, it's rock solid. Plastic all over, but I've never lost or broken anything!

Funcionalidad total a cambio de un precio rompedor.
Por encima de todo, la BCR2000 de Behringer es útil. Bien construida, knobs bastante suaves y un precio inigualable para sus prestaciones. El único punto negativo es su configuración. Una vez la entiendes, no hay problema. Pero al principio te puede costar bastante. La utilizo para controlar Ableton Live.

Another great piece from behringer
One of the best midi controllers out there. the learn function is super cool and helpful. build quality is fantastic, the led indicators are clever overall a great piece of gear

The Ultimate MIDI Rotary Knob Encoder Controller
Behringer is one of those companies that you love or hate, ..or both. :-) They make some mediocre stuff, but other things they make are either first-rate, or they can be upgraded to be first-rate, ....all at great (non-expensive) prices. The BCR2000 is one of those devices. It has 32 "totally recall-able and cascadable rotary encoders (knobs) with visual LED rings for setting/status. The unit is big, but the encoders are precise, smooth, and have a good feel to them. There are other controls for MIDI-learn and memory, as well as jacks for foot-controllers, and it also functions as a USB-to-MIDI interface.
The neat thing about the BCR2000 is that it has become a slight standard over the past decade. Other products and software (plug-ins) have already included MIDI-mapping of their own products to this particular controller. I use both SonicProjects "OPX Pro II" and "OPX V-Machine Bundle" Oberheim synth VSTs, and the company has included the programming and mapping to the BCR2000.
