Here’s another demo of the Zaquencer in action:

(Sorry, & this one too please if possible, Thought i'd embedded it properly).

While this is an unofficial firmware, Stöcklmeier says that he has contacted Behringer and they have no objections to it.

The ZAQ Audio Zaquencer firmware will be available mid-October 2014 as a digital download for 69 Euro. Additional details are available at the ZAQ site. The BCR2000 has a street price of about US $150/125 Euro.

I was thinking about buying a Behringer BCR2000 before this news, might have to save up & buy two of them now!.

The more I watch the 2 video's, The more impressed I am with the hack he's done.
69 euro or just over £50 for a bit of genius.
I'm in.

Take a zaqaudio

Here is a list of the features

 

Lovely idea!
I'm happy to see there are still some hardware hackers (ARM7DTMI) out there

After Lemur has taken over much of the BCR's territory, this will breathe new life into my BCR.

 

BCR2000 still, like FCB1010 with custom ROM, one of the best bang for the buck.
You can change your mind, and do a ROM change/preset tweaking to use them differently.

 

thanks-

 

Custom firmware for MPC1000 and MPC2500 is JJOS
Here is the link :
JJOS

There are custom ROMs for FCB1010 too, with amazing features like stompbox mode : it keeps light on or off, and sending the right signal.
So your effects reflect same state than pedals lights. It is simple, but was not implemented. There are a lot more features, computer programming...

That's uber-cool! I've been thinking of buying those Behringer thingies and now I have one more reason to finally do it. *yes* Bang for the buck - utterly unbelievable!

And those "thingies" have MIDI ports, too. I'm almost 100% USB free here. I'm old-school... Only Presonus Faderport works exclusively with USB, but it's only a transport, fader, and some special commands. I also use a USB gamepad at times as it feels... interesting. *yes*
