0:28 what controller is that?

Thats the BCR 2000.

[DennisHuiberts]

Not true, it's a BCF-2000 because it has faders. Quite a difference in quality if you compare that Behringer unit to the Vestax PMC-CX he always carries around

[charo]

def a bcf in that vid

not that it should matter what a pro is using right?

daft punk uses a bcr.

depends on what you want in controller

Oh. sorry guys, watched it during clas, and the poor quaility threw me off.

Behringer gets a pretty bad wrap, due to poor product support, and sketch drivers (bcd 2000 comes to mind, what a piece). However, the BCR 2000 worked like a charm the first time I used it (and the one I have is heavily used).

And why the comparison between the PMC and the BCF? They are not even in the same category.

EDIT

Yes, the behringer piece is a plastic, and feels flimsy, but hell, it works, and surprisingly doesnt have shotty drivers. Like I said, you can get them for next to nothing, and 16 knobs compliment any pad controller (which usually are on the lacking end knob wise) quite well. Like I've said, Tekki, one of the forum moderators here, uses the BCR, and even manually beatmatches with it (kinda ridic... i know).

[sine143]
