The BCR32 is the successor to the BCR2000, and Behringer describes it as a USB/MIDI controller and sequencer with 32 multi-purpose encoders, 20 programmable buttons, and the Zaquencer firmware built in.
The sequencer is the reason it belongs here
The Zaquencer is the ZAQ Audio firmware that turned the original BCR2000 into a cult favourite, and on the BCR32 it runs as a polyphonic 32-step, four-track sequencer. Behringer’s page specifies mono or polyphonic drum and note tracks, 192 stored patterns of four tracks each, and two independent MIDI controls per track for things like program change and aftertouch. Every panel element is assignable, by hand or through a learn function, so the same box can also drive software: triggering clips, riding DAW automation, or playing MIDI instruments.
It patches into a rack
The part that makes this more than a controller: Behringer lists four CV/Gate and Sync connectors, so the BCR32 drives modular hardware directly rather than through a MIDI-to-CV converter. It also carries one MIDI input and two MIDI outputs with a merge function, which lets it double as a USB-to-MIDI interface, plus two assignable footswitch inputs, an OLED display and USB power. The Encoder count of the BCR2000 with a sequencer that speaks CV is the whole argument for it.
Availability
Behringer introduced the BCR32 in a video on its own channel on 28 September 2026, five years after first announcing the product in January 2021. The product page itself carries no date and states no price, so pricing should be treated as unconfirmed until the maker or a dealer publishes it. Everything above comes from that page: behringer.com/en/products/0715-AAW.
