Behringer BCR32 MIDI Controller
The Behringer BCR32 is a USB/MIDI controller and standalone step sequencer that fuses 32 freely assignable encoders with the ZAQ Audio Zaquencer firmware. Designed as the evolution of the cult-classic BCR2000, it gives electronic music producers hands-on control of DAW parameters, MIDI instruments and modular rigs from a single desktop surface. The unit runs class-compliant over USB, so no driver installation or external power supply is required.
- 32 multi-purpose rotary encoders — 8 of them with push-function dual mode — plus 20 programmable buttons for total hands-on control of any assignable parameter
- Built-in polyphonic 32-step, 4-track Zaquencer with storage for up to 192 patterns and 2 independent MIDI controls per track
- Four CV/Gate outputs and Sync connectors lock the unit to analog synths, drum machines and Eurorack rigs
- Class-compliant USB bus power, MIDI merge, Apple iPad compatibility and a vivid OLED display with multi-colour LED feedback
USB/MIDI Controller and Sequencer for Hands-On Production
The Behringer BCR32 pairs a 32-encoder control surface with a polyphonic 32-step, 4-track step sequencer in one desktop unit. Built around the ZAQ Audio Zaquencer firmware that made the original BCR2000 a cult favourite, this model gives producers a tactile alternative to mouse-driven DAW work. Every panel element is freely assignable via manual mapping or Learn mode.
What Makes the BCR32 Stand Out
Most hardware controllers force a choice between knobs or a sequencer — the BCR32 delivers both. The Zaquencer engine runs mono or polyphonic drum and note tracks with 192 stored patterns, while eight push-function encoders add dual control inherited from the BCR2000.
Control Surface — Knobs, Buttons and Feedback
Thirty-two encoders and twenty programmable buttons drive an entire studio session without touching a mouse.
- Rotary Encoders: 32 freely assignable multi-purpose encoders — eight with push-function dual mode
- Programmable Buttons: 20 buttons — note on/off, CC, program change, MMC or SysEx
- Multi-function OLED display with multi-colour LED feedback and four virtual encoder groups keeps complex mappings readable at a glance
Sequencer Engine — Zaquencer Power
The integrated Zaquencer turns the BCR32 into a standalone step sequencer that runs without a computer.
- Sequencer Engine: ZAQ Audio Zaquencer, polyphonic — runs mono or polyphonic drum and note tracks
- Pattern Storage: 32 steps per pattern, 4 tracks, up to 192 patterns
- Per-Track MIDI Controls: Two independent controls per track handle Program Change, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and CCs
Connectivity — USB, MIDI, CV/Gate and Modular Sync
The BCR32 doubles as a USB-to-MIDI interface, sitting between a computer and external gear without extra hardware.
- MIDI Ports: 1 MIDI In, 2 MIDI Out/Thru with merge function
- CV/Gate and Sync: 4 CV/Gate outputs (3.5 mm) plus Sync in/out
- Footswitch Inputs: 2 assignable 6.3 mm jack inputs
