Prefered midi controller

Post by Dojec »

Which are prefered midi controllers for using with the suite2?

I have the behringer bfc2000 for the moment, but you can't map different pages to the faders for instance. So at the end you are very limited about what you can program.

I have 2 different series of led pars, some led washers, led bars and led tubes, 1 series of moving heads, a fog and hazer.
So I need big faders which you can map to different fixtures according to the selection, a joystick is a plus. Some buttons to select presets... scenes...

Also it shouldn't have too many buttons that don't work on thr software.

I've seen the midicon appearing a lot in combination with suite2.
The questions I still have,
the faders, can you assign them to different functionalities? I.e. mapping 1= faders for fixture group1, mapping 2 ( with pg up/down for instance ) you can use these faders for a complete different group of fixtures.

The wheels, can they be used for pan/tilt?

And the keys itself, can they also have different mappings per key?

For the moment I have a bfc2000 and there the big faders can't be used as described above. So it's very limited.

Hi,

I think Midicon, as the BCF2000 works with several "univers" midi, so you can assign one fader for one task in the preset 1, and for other thing in preset 2.
