Nice video (as always) ! Looks like an interesting synth. One thing I can’t find is if you can pan spread the oscillators to create a nice wide sound. Do you know if this is possible l?
@StarskyCarr6 сағат бұрын
I looked for that myself but could only find a pan setting for modulation. I haven’t tested it yet, but have so far assumed it’s not per oscillator.

I have two of these beauties. Stacking and layering them creates incredible combos. Amazing on their own as well. If I had to nitpick, the lack of Poly-AT and the chorus quality is a bit disappointing. It would also be good to have MIDI overflow for poly-chaining, but not many people are going to have more than one.

I've seen it on monos, but its hard on a Poly - which voice do you follow - but this has something similar on the voice indicator LEDs. If you watch them you can see the volume of each voice, which is essentially doing what you're saying.

@cfs18 сағат бұрын
Had one for months and... really enjoy having it. It sounds lovely. I wouldn't recommend it as your only synth because it's just too limited, but it's a fantastic 2nd synth (or 3rd, etc.). The built-in effect are barely serviceable. It lacks an arpeggiator and sequencer. And it sorely lacks some more options for mapping the 3 LFOs. However, within what it can do, it's amazing. Also lacks a desktop editor, though it has a decent librarian to backup patches. FYI Starsky, the Mono voices isn't selecting how MANY voices in mono mode, but WHICH voice of the 7 you want to use. Mono is always just one voice, except unison, which is all 7. This is another small "miss" by the makers, as it seems it would've been easy to select the number of voices in mono mode.
@StarskyCarr15 сағат бұрын
That’s what I explained with the mono… I only chose voice 1 as an example… not as I’m using a single voice. 😀 I explain that a single voice allows the tone to be replicated as per a monosynth as you dont get voicing variability. And yeah, choosing the number of voices for poly mode is something I suggested to them for an update or for their new Bree6 synth (yet to be released).

It should be noted it is a ladder filter in terms of the filter type. Basically a Moog style filter. So the filter is more Moog than say Sequential/Oberheim. It's killer though. I have one. It sits right by my classics. Guido really nailed it out of the gate with his first polysynth.

Are these companies out of their minds? This is old technology. The cats out of the bag. People know what you can make this stuff for. Anyone with 101 electronic experience knows it as well. Too many companies are proving the prices are just stupid. Covid crushed the economy. Then inflation. The boutique market is a year or 2 away when people have money again. I remember when companies were putting out Circuits and Digitizes for affordable prices. All of us bought everything as it came out. Then slowly but surely the nonsense pricing from the modular world and other small companies have gotten absurd. I'm sorry. The majority of people can't afford this. They can't afford the new Teenage Engineering. Who are these companies making these for? Walmart is successful on volume. Amazon is successful on volume. At this rate, Behghringer, no matter how you feel will be the biggest and strongest synth company in a few years. You can't except loyalty from folks if you don't make products they can afford. The synth world has got to rethink what they are doing. The reason "synth tube" is so toxic is because the majority of synths people do videos on most people can't afford. I love this channel. I hope synth companies figure out a way to democratize buying synths again. This $1000 and up world is a dead end. IMHOl. Don't argue with me. I don't care what you say. FYI. Good vid bro..

Nice timing.😂 had my eye on it for a while, beautiful rich vintage sounds, 4 part multi timbrality and MPE compatibility at a fair price packed in a very comfortable size for the real estate on your desk - vintage soul modern body is quite accurate title. Also heard the manufacturer says that tuning stays accurate for quite a while, which is very comfortable regarding analogue synths, don't remember the reason and haven't researched into it much, have you had it for enough time to find out if its true? if nothing special comes as a surprise at namm, there is a really good chance that i am going to get one. Great video and performance. It helped me with some new input.

They're different things. This is a VCO, the DM is DCO. This is 2 osc per voice plus 2 subs, the DM is a single osc. Behringer will always be able to well undercut the cost of a smaller company, so it's hard to compare them on price ... B will always win that one.

@@leftmono1016 Only Moog as far as I know, for the reissue Minimoog. But thats £5k for one voice - not £1.6k for 7 voices. I don't think there are any through hole polysynths. All the modern ones I have here are definitely surface mount. From a QC perspective they're more reliable. They're harder to fix, but tend not to need as much fixing as the components are generally more reliable. Sonically there may be differences due to tighter tolerances on modern synths - Sequential and Behringer have added the slop functions.
