Behringer BCF2000 Daisy Chaining?

[JacobShah]

Hey everybody,

Our church is looking for a 32 channel control surface for mixing some of our choir and worship teams songs in Reaper. Currently we're considering the BCF2000. (Which is HUI Protocol, right?)
Question is can you daisy-chain 4 of them to get 32 channels? If not, are there any out there that can do 32 channels? Thanks in advance, God Bless,
Jacob Shah

First of all, change your font, it's realy hard to read.

I love BCFs even with the noisy motors in the faders. You can only daisy chain 2 together using MIDI.
However... depending on your DAW and available USB ports on the computer you can plug in multiple units via USB and each one is recognized as a separate MIDI controller. You will have to do some messing around in the settings to set up which tracks/busses etc are controlled by which unit but so long as Reaper can do this and you have enough open USB ports on the machine it's a workable solution.
For the price BCF2000 can't be beat.

If you want to spend a lot more the Mackie control universal can be expanded to 32 channels I believe but then your looking at a few thousand bucks versus a few hundred.
