Silent Member Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Holy shit, $299?! I'm definitely getting one. It's ugly as hell, but that's the only negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Not sure yet on this. Price is great for what it's capable of, however, I'm worried about the quality of sound from it. There's very little out there just yet and nothing really sounds bad, but also not too much I've heard is particularly impressive. I'm thinking that may change as we hear it from more sources, but my initial reaction is that it's...a synth. :) This is the only other sound I've heard beyond the two YT clips Behringer have posted.

TubularCorporation Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Small, cheap, reasonably decent sounding and semimoduar - seems like it would be a good bread and butter performance synth. I'm sure it's multi-layer oards like the Deepmind so it will probably be impossible to repair a lot of long term issues but as a beater/player it seems great, and it's certainly a better way to spend $300 than a Roland Boutique IMO.

Silent Member Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm going to have to cover those blue LEDs with something, they make my brain hurt. I shouldn't really hate on it. Looks like a very useful bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheatheman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Why couldn't it be a nice slate gray with rosewood side panels??? It would sound so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 that synth is so terrible looking. ftfy :) It really is ugly as sin. That's really not very important, of course, but until we have more sounds I'll just puke a little each time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It's ugly in the way that 1999 or so Roland Gear was ugly, but more so. I guess good on them for being ahead of their c9mpetitors in that sense, all the other big companies are still on the 80s nostalgia train, but 1997-2002 is ascendant.

Braintree Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 How does one get into designing face plates for synths/modules? Sounds like it would be pretty fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 How does one get into designing face plates for synths/modules? Sounds like it would be pretty fun to do. Photoshop + XACTO knife? If you want to waste 4 minutes here's ...technically sounds from the synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This looks like it's shipping right around when I get paid for this season's work (I record and edit a local lecture series on the side and use the money to fund music stuff) and it's going to be hard not to drop some of it on one of these at this price, although I feel like I should hold out for the Arp 2600 clone they've been talking about periodically for a few years, since the 2600 has been my ideal monosynth for as long as I can remember, and is the only one I really have any full-on GAS for. Well, that and a CS-80, neither of which is going to happen for me unless Behringer intervenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to waste 4 minutes here's ...technically sounds from the synth. I'm not asking about the process, I'm asking about who designs these things. For a company like Behringer or Korg, I imagine they hire a designer instead of just letting the synth designers have a go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you said is probably the case in general, but Behringer are trying to race to the bottom with price/cost. I could see them skimping on hiring a professional to do the design, instead just letting whoever's on the payroll/already working on the synth do it as a bit of an afterthought.
