Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Maybe someone needs to send some nice emails to Behringer and ask them for the part number, or even if they have spares.(If this hasn't been tried already)


The originals are made by Alps and it looks like a custom job. I don't know if they are 100 pulses per rotation or a more logical 128. Maybe Mark can tell us from the software.
There are one or two replacements that I could suggest, but they are 12 and 24 pulses per rotation, some with detents, some without. (Bourns not Alps are closest to spec)

I'm not sure exactly how these encoders work but you would be turning forever with those.
Unless there is some multi channel software trick they use to make 12 or 24 pulses become the roughly 127 per rotation for the Midi data. I'm not knowledgeable enough to do more than speculate.
Oh, and good luck de-soldering one. It's a nightmare without a board heater. So easy to damage the PCB.

I need this info too, I have one of the push button encoders broken.

I looked through the archives and couldn't find the answer....hasn't ANYONE replaced any of the top row encoders? 

Thanks in advance
