So it would be possible to create a BCR2000 map that only handles a subset of MIDI CC controls – but most users who want to have a high level of “knob control” would want to be able to access as many settings as possible. It makes ALL of the Chroma’s parameters available over the MIDI interface - not just a limited subset. The reason why the CC+ is discussed here is because of one of the benefits it offers over other interfaces. It could also be used with any MIDI interface that (for instance) offers MIDI Continuous Controller manipulation of parameters - such as the Syntech/KMX MIDI interface. It does not strictly require a CC+ interface on a Rhodes Chroma/Expander. The following discussion is not intended to be a reiteration of the data in the Behringer manuals - instead it is intended to be a simplified discussion of what a user might do in order to quickly get up and running with the BCR2000 and a CC+ equipped Rhodes Chroma or Expander.


This flexibility allows the unit to be adapted for many uses - but this same flexibility makes it confusing for a user that just wants to “get going.” It offers quite a lot of flexibility of programming - in terms of what the elements on the control surface manipulate, and how the encoder rings display data, and the resolution of the knobs.
