Hello,
Has anyone used the Behringer bcf 2000http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BCF2000with PD? Considering buying for use with Ableton, wondering if it is easy to implament with patches in PD.
works well with Pd ... just use the standard midi setting in the bcf, you can then set and store many different presets in the bcf to use in Pd ... the motor drives work fine, the 14 bit resolution options are useful, so are the different encoder options, the menu system takes a little getting use to since there are so many choices but after that is quite useful.
yup, i second that, having used both the bcf and the bcr a lot. very good value for the money. here are the drawbacks:
- very loud fader motors, so midi feedback creates quite a racket...
- not very precise faders (correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think
you'll ever get 14bits of resolution from them, even though they can emulate this mode)
- it's quite bulky and heavy.
still, at that price point, who gets to complain?
