Bcr goes for the lower segment market. I think b- name has learned that the people got sick of the teasing it seems they announce things in a ready state lately so who knows but i need one now. Zaquencer is fun.

If each control could be assigned a tool tip, which would then be displayed on the display when it was used, it would be unnecessary to print out the description of each control on paper.

the Behringer BCR 32 with Zaguencer has not been released yet, but there has been recent progress.

In July 2024, Behringer confirmed that the BCR32 — a modern reimagining of the BCR2000 with built-in Zaquencer firmware — has entered external beta testing and is moving toward production. This suggests a release could happen in 2025 or 2026.

Key details:

Name: BCR32
Collaboration: Officially with ZAQ Audio, developer of Zaquencer
Features: 32 encoder knobs with LED halos, 4 CV/Gate outputs, 32-step sequencing
Price target: $149 USD
Status: Beta testing phase as of mid-2024, no official release date yet
While the original BCR2000 was a blank-slate MIDI controller, the BCR32 is designed from the ground up as a dedicated hardware sequencer with full Zaquencer integration.

imagine if they would implement snapshots. functionality for the midi contoler side…

yep i was waiting for the bcr mk2 too.
i owned the bcr2000 (size of the thing was enormous!) with the zaq sequencer payed firmware. it was fun but a bit confusing to me, maybe as it still is an afterthought. i was too cheep to pay for the pricey official overlay so the unit became quite messy with my printed out papers taped on to it.
a new bcr would be good but oxi has a great small offering. with extra option like snapshots. but it s another price as its a small company etc.

back then it was on of the few midi controllers but by now there are many alternatives.

I want Arturia to release one as the ACR3000 , and post lots of craven social media quotes like : “thank you so much Jeff Arturia for being so amazing and letting me make music like I always dreamed of on this innovative device!!

They release all these remakes of others but abandoned the idea of remaking one of their own products.
