Is that what you're saying ? That you don't have the BCR set up with a control surface template preset. The BCF2000 is an innovative, hands-on control surface with ultra-precise 100-mm motorized faders for the ultimate control of virtual mixers, organ-drawbars. I think if that's the case you don't have the right control surface selected (hehe I'm guessing - I'm new at external control too!) as your external remote controller.
You mean that if in Sonar4, you select a track, hit the FX button till it turns BLUE on the bottom left of the screen, select an effect with your mouse in the FX window, notice that 4 effect params appear below the effect window, right click on the desired effect param, select remote control, move the knob on your external controller you wish to use to control the param, hit the learn button back in the Remote Control box in the Sonar4 window - after all that you don't have full control of the effect parameter. It may have a few knobs above and below the start/stop buttons that are not used and are there just to mimic the way the Behringer BCR2000 looks, but at the end of the day, this is a useful little MIDI tool that is especially relevant if you use it with the intended sequencer/arpeggiator.Ultimately I'd like to use the unit for more real-time control of parameters for audio or virtual synths. Taking everything into account, bcr step is a nifty little app, in spite of its old age and arguably outdated looks. Simple MIDI tool for the popular BCR2000 audio mixer

Besides the obvious controls, you're provided with a simple MIDI configuration section (configure the MIDI input and output settings), readily accessible from the menu bar by selecting the setup entry. The app's GUI mimics the clean layout of the original BCR2000 controller, of course, apart from the virtual BPM slider on the top of the screen which allows you to control the sequence tempo. Well-designed and well-documented, bespoke arpeggiator for the BCR2000 controller Other than that, you can get started with the app in mere seconds, since it doesn't even require installation.
Even though it's mainly intended for the BCR2000 MIDI controller, this utility can be used just as well with almost any other MIDI controller.īefore anything else, it's worth highlighting that this application requires the presence of Java on your computer.
Straightforward Java-based eight-step MIDI sequencerīcr step is an eight-step sequencer that sports controls for velocity, duration, delay, modulation and bend for each step.
The BCR2000, while not the top of the line, is one of the best MIDI controllers for novices due to its sturdiness, simplicity, and very good value for money. Behringer controllers are some of the most popular MIDI controllers out there.
