Holá Nicolas!
is it this one ?
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCR2000.aspxWhat's about the keyboard? You have another one ?
In this case you have to get a small accessory called a MIDI merger to
"mix" MIDI codes from the keyboard and the Behringer BCR knobs to your
AN 200. "Keyboards with knobs" do that "naturally"... on another hand
basic mergers are cheap... but often "filter" MIDI messages other than
notes, velocity and program change, because of the lack of speed and
memory of the µPs inside.
Cheers.
