The Behringer BCF-2000 Fader Controller is a control surface with 8 motorized
|
||||
faders, 8 rotary encoders and 30 push buttons. The device is a class
|
||||
compliant USB Midi Interface and also has standard Midi DIN IN/OUT/THRU ports.
|
||||
The device has included a Mackie/Logic Control Emulation Mode since firmware v1.06.
|
||||
If you're devices firmware is older than v1.06 it will require an update before
|
||||
Mackie Control Emulation will work as described here.
