I'm thinking of getting a BCF2000 for my Critter, though I am wondering whether it is possible to use the BCF connected to a laptop running Zookeeper, rather than direct to the Critter. I.e. If the Critter is sited somewhere off back stage and is being controlled remotely from FOH, can I still use the control surface without running a mile long USB connection? Any other comments on the BCF2000 also welcome. Cheers, Gareth. |

This will be fixed in V3.0.14 , the issue with ZooKeeper remote has not be able to handle midi directly. So right now it will not work util this release ( or hopefully the 3.1 we all are waiting for) are public. The Behringer is righ now the best choice, low cost and really a good unit. I this level of money you get really a good value for the bucks!! BUT, hopefully on PLASA GreenHippo will show the new unit, a new controller that will be even better!! So look out for that, maybe not the same level of price but as I been told, a really pro control system based on midi. |

Bit of an update for anyone interested: I spoke to a GH employee last week at a technology event here in the UK, who revealed the new USB control solution to be the Mackie C4 system. Price for the central MCU is about £1000 (so about 10x the cost of the BCF2000, but will offer a lot more functionality, including a new way of recording cues and a way to easily and quickly control many Hippos at once. Starting to sound like a must have accessory... Also good news: Very soon (quite possibly next week) GH will be releasing a new build that will include the much rumoured two layer 720P mode for the Critter. Gareth. |
