Christian, will you take the Zaquencer further in some way? The market for affordable hardware sequencers like this one is growing… It’s a good time to jump in!
I have asked Uli Behringer at Gearlutz forums to revive the BCR2000 but got no response, lol.
I’m pretty sure crowdfunding for a new machine would work…
Ridiculously overpriced and lacking various features that the Zaq has. For that price I would want at least a large hi-res screen and some encoders… It’s amazing that they can ask for this much, who buys that?
Hi, happy new year.
I have the same issue. My tech guy can probably fix it but needs the circuit diagram. Any clues on where to find it?
cheers
Hi, I am conceptualising a sequencer/ controller inspired by the Zaquencer, Push, and Elektron…

If any engineers and coders are interested in making this a reality please get in touch!
Nope. If it ever happens, yourself will have to define what CC to send. But System Exclusive messages are unlikely.
As I understand Zaquencer has already been demod to Behringer but they were not interested?
Ah… no suprise there. I doubt they even understood what the use for such a device would be.
Howevever, Uli himself can be reached and he’s supposedly a synth enthusiast.What are the detented encoders you used? I know a highly qualified service tech who can do the job…

I guess the simplest route would be putting the BCR internals in a metal enclosure and replacing the encoders.
I ‘m pretty sure I was also editing chords when this happened… It’s a bit of a pain and I’m thinking to sell the Zaq since my BCR knobs are starting to play up and I just don’t like the pastic clunkiness of the thing.
Maybe we need to reach out to Uli Behringer (he hangs out at gearlsutz forums apparently) and ask him to re-make the BCR with better quality knobs and a metal case…

Seems that Christian is not interested in doing a Zaquencer Pro? A shame as the Zaquencer is a great concept that deserves a more solid hardware platform… Screens above the encoders, buttons under each encoder, 8 tracks and 8 midi CCs per track would make this a dream machine!
The Pyramid is too gimped for what it costs (7000 midi event limit, small screen, not enough knobs) and the Cirklon is expensive and unavailable… There is not much else!
The stuck notes bug continues with firmware 1.50… synths are connected directly to the Zaquencer. I think it happens during editing a step while the sequencer is running :the edits sometimes make the Zaq drop the note off message.
I think synths generally ignore the program change if they’re already playing that preset.
Yeah, that is nice.
Now I believe the encoders are actually the BCR’s (and Zaquencer’s) biggest issue.
(A job which is not advisable to do by the way)
Why do you think they’re saying that? So that amateurs don’t ruin the PCB?
Is it difficult to de-solder the BCR encoders?
I know a professional tech who can do this…
That’s awesome. You may want to move that thing from the top of your speaker though! (vibrations will make it fall off)
How are things looking? can we look forward to this or any more features in what is already a very excellent package?
Happy holidays!
