thanks bro. thanks for the link. i've book marked it. i may just save my pennies and get the Mackie C4 Pro.
It's more casheesh, but with all that display real-estate there, I cannot help but take advantage of all the display information.
Especially trying to navigate around 8+ voices of an Akai S6000 and all it's parameters. But a person can't beat the price on
the Behringer controller. Doepfer told me that they actually got out of the controller business because of them. They couldn't
hold a candle to the price they were building them for. Granted Doepfer's were metal, rack mount, and sexy. But the Behringer's
is an excellent value if you need to just get the job done.

In terms of being useful, the original Java software shipped by
Behringer is next to useless. BC Manager, which can be found here:

gives you the possibility to extensively configure BC(R/F).Once the configuration is done, you can disconnect BC* from PC and use

it standalone. All settings are stored in the memory of the device,
and the message string can be up to 125 bytes long. You can even send
multiple CCs (with the same value), so for example you can control
volume of 2 different MIDI channels with the same knob.
