Behringer is democracy.

@MoltenMusicTech Күн бұрын
Why would that be a good thing? Musical tools being created by commitee rather than innovation. Ideas based on an echo-chamber of public opinion leads to homogeny, not genius or inspiration. I don't think Behringer is somehow noble - they're a business designed to make money on popular ideas - that can be good, but don't make the mistake of believing that they care about you, or fairness, or democracy. A democracy is built by debate, criticism, ethics - Behringer rejects all those things. So...... no making synths cheap is not somehow democracy, it's just capitalism.

@@MoltenMusicTech No no, you are misinterpreting what I am saying. I mean that Behringer providing inexpensive accessible alternatives gives users more freedom of choice/options and thus democratizes the buying options for users rather than having us locked into an expensive dictatorship of choices. That's all. By the way, I enjoyed your recent guest appearance on the ProSynth Network.

Will you be releasing these instruments in Kontakt as well, or just decent Sample? They look great. I'd happily pay for the Kontakt (Full version) in order to integrate directly with the NKS format on my Kontrol S MK3 (and Novation SL MK3).

Thanks for this. You caught a few things I'd missed from other coverage. On the B front: Imagine if companies like Roland and Korg actually showed off prototypes and got early feedback instead of working on a product for years only to find out after they've released it that there's some decisions people don't really like. And, you know, you could just ignore the showing of such prototypes if you didn't want to know about them.

It's a double edged sword. Getting loads of user input could put us on a road to very homogeneous synths, whereas what we need (perhaps) is innovation. That most often (not always) comes from inspired designers rather than a committee.

I always look forward to his videos on this. Hope he never stops. Partly inspired me to get the Pro 7. It hasn't been a perfect or consistent experience, but using standalone lightweight virtual instruments like MKSensation from Gospel Musicians, it has been holding up well for the past 5 years and still does in my live stuff.

Yes please make a video about those 1u sequencer thingies. I to use a fancy sequencer for pitch and then other things for gates. Why? Because I usually play only one melody, or whatever you could call it, at any time, but give different oscillators different gates, so that it sounds like they are playing different melodies, but everyone to the same scale.

Awesome roundup, Robin! You hit the nail on the head in the Behringer section. For me, if they would just not pick on the small companies, and not lash out at everyone, they could do so much! Also, congrats on the Molten Plasma instrument. I have it loaded on an iPad (decent sampler is available on iOS as well) and it is very cool to work with. WELL worth the cost, or Patreon subscription.

IMO, Uli behaves as he does because of the same reason Musk, Jobs and Zuckerberg do. People that want to occupy the space that they do, being a big and “important” man, are mostly arrogant, megalomaniac people with some grandeur/narcissistic traits. Most people don’t want to be in their place, luckily.
