The Behringer BCF2000 is a low-cost control surface that can be used with many DAW's like, Sonar, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more.
Setting up the BFC2000 to work with Pro Tools is only a couple easy steps.
Connect the unit to your Computer via a USB cable. The unit also has MIDI ports, but USB is how most people will be using the unit. And MIDI is actually much faster over USB vs. standard MIDI ports/cables.
You need to hold down the 5th button from the left on the top row (VAL 2 is written above) while powering on the unit. As soon as you see
bhui you can release the button.
Then all that is left is setting up Pro Tools to "see" the surface.
In Pro Tools, go to
SETUP>Peripherals>MIDI Controllers
Using the drop downs, simply choose:
TYPE>HUI
For
Receive From and
Send To choose the
BCF2000. For Channel Number,
8 - which should be there by default. And that's it!
You can see this in action by watching the included videos in this post.
If your computer is not recognizing the BCF2000 and automatically loading a driver for you, simply go to the Behringer website and download and install the proper driver for your system.
With the BCF2000 you can control the faders and pan knobs in Pro Tools with ease. And the BCF2000 has
motorized faders! That's right, real motorized faders. You can do so much more with the BCF2000, like control the transport (play/stop/FF/RW), arm tracks, adjust send levels, switch between the Edit and Mix windows, cut and paste audio, and more.
Watch the two included videos to see how to setup the BCF2000 and see the features for yourself.
