Thanks for all of your sound demos of Behringer synth's. I love that you really tweak all knobs om the go🙂!

[@christdolphin69]

this is a tough one, as is the case with most behringers. the envelopes sound very nice. filter is pretty good. oscillators has a good rich character to sculpt with. i guess at the price, its worth grabbing every one of them i appreciate these good quality patch demos

[@frevrix]

Looks like I’m about 4 years late to the party on this one! What a great sounding synth though, gonna go haunt the used market and see if I can pick one up for sure!

[@TELETHONCHEESEBURGER]

Just got mine in. Loving it!

[@danielk.5784]

That’s what I call a demo! Bravo!

[@someone-hr9ze]

the demos are so great!!!!

[@trilfiger448]

Got mine coming in the mail soon can’t wait

[@adamsmith7058]

That's a whole lot of synth for very little money. Sounds even better than I expected. Good job man.

[@mishXY]

well recently the main echo on a bunch of producer forums is: "Behringer is dedicated to destroy the plug-in market with hardware synths"

[@scottm8685]

I gotta stop watching these videos. I'm running out of room. This sounds much better than I expected. Great job!

[@limbicbits]

LOL - Thanks!

[@Jason75913]

lol

[@scottgrittner2753]

lol i was thinking the same thing.. but i also just bought this thing today..

[@TheJethrobull]

Fantastic work!

[@easytoassemble54321]

Very good job. I bought the Cat, but haven't realised it's full potential yet, but you've demonstrated how versatile this thing is. So many of these patches are exactly what I'm looking for, so I think the Cat is definitely going to be useful.

[@robertsteinberger5667]

And what is your experience like with the cat? Do you like it?

[@bioelectric1788]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@morast6330]

Wow, the CAT really sounds great!

Yep. Pretty sure this is gonna be my first synth.

[@yobhsiFehT]

@@gapster77 Still definitely a contender! 😄

[@gapster77]

@@yobhsiFehT I have one, I wouldn’t say it would be a good choice for a first synth, it’s got some quirks, but it’s good fun.

[@yobhsiFehT]

@@gapster77 Oh, OK! What would you say are the less user-friendly quirks as a hypothetically first synth?

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome!

[@MadelnMachines]

I really hope they start making polys soon. Their mono synths all sound so great a proper poly version of any of them has to be amazing!

[@limbicbits]

Is Poly D still too paraphonic for you?

[@kimble02]

Limbic Bits The “Poly” on the Poly D is pretty bad if you’re expecting to play like a normal poly synth like the DM12. I think of the Poly D as a feature packed monosynth with plenty of tricks up it’s sleeve. In that regard it’s a mono powerhouse!

[@andikellotat5128]

imagine a real poly cat. that would be awesome! :O

[@josephwright5921]

They will be coming soon now that Behringer/Cool Chips has created a new polyphonic voice chip

[@Lhurgoyf2Kyu]

As I have understood there is a oberheim clone incoming!

[@georgegeez8708]

I need this to join my Behringer collection. Sounds really nice and crunchy. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@WalterGiroldi]

Hola excelente la explicación se entendió espectacular. Una pregunta tengo un behringer cat que tiene entradas VCO, VCF fc, VCF q y VCA. La consulta sería si se puede conectar con un korg SQ1 con salidas CV y Gate a esas entradas del behringer.

[@mixmcinfrarave]

😮 Top i have one

[@kevinorellana4105]

2:43 that’s the sound in evening side - four tet

[@limbicbits]

Didn't know the track but yes, I get what you mean! If you're trying to reproduce it, I would choose saw instead of pulse on one of the two oscillators. Lovely track, too. Thanks

[@michaelpierce3264]

get mine tomorrow hope it works right love the fact that it has two sub oscillators I mean sub octaves sorry the lingo!

[@limbicbits]

"Sub oscillator" is fine. Let me know what you think once you have it, if you like

[@sirwatchalot]

I just sent my Wasp back and exchanging for a Cat!(Glad I did! This sounds fantastic!)

[@maccagrabme]

What was wrong with the Wasp?

[@sirwatchalot]

@@maccagrabme It was just too hard to get the right patches(and sounds)! The Cat seems brighter and and more fun to program! It could be just me, because I'm pickier than most synth tweakers!

[@RonCavagnaro]

They're both amazing :)

[@rishpanjeet7479]

If this thing JUST had presets!!!

[@someone-hr9ze]

does anybody know if this one has midi cc???

[@davecjd]

Hi There, great demo. I'm looking to add a dirty aggressive monosynth to add to my Studiologic Sledge and Yamaha MODX. What would you recommend?

[@limbicbits]

Hi, as an aggressive mono synth I'd recommend the following (in order from less aggressive to brutal) 1. SE Roland SE-02 (its XMOD can lead to brutal sounds) 2. Behringer K2 3. Korg Monologue 4. Novation Bass Station 2 (FM, Overdrive and lots of possibilities) 5. Erica Pico System III (brutal sound but sometimes hard to control due to the small pots on the surface) 6. Every synth mentioned above in combination with a Proco Rat ;) Also I think, that FM can be used easily to make aggressive sounds. Maybe you'd like to try MODX in combination with an analogue overdrive pedal to give it some dirt?

[@davecjd]

@@limbicbits thanks for the reply, do you think the Behringer Odyssey would fit in this list?

[@limbicbits]

Absolutely- I’m not a big fan of the arp sound, that’s why I haven’t thought of it. But its character would be a good fit, too.

[@davecjd]

@@limbicbits thanks for the feedback, I guess there is also the MINI Brute.

[@limbicbits]

Right - forgot about this one, too. There are way too many synths out there it seems. I only know the microbrute better, though. So I don’t like to give a clear statement if or if not it fits well. From what I’ve heard of the Microbrute I’d guess so.

[@demonicsweaters]

that 'feed the cat' lead, lol

[@limbicbits]

I know it’s not a nice or useful patch but I had to include it.

[@apcut]

quiet some low end from this little box

[@eavids128]

This seems like the objective best behringer copy, look at these capabilities

[@limbicbits]

Until now, I found Pro-1 to be the best match but Cat is nice, too

[@trippypages7309]

I was zooming a photo of the CAT and i noticed it doesent have any arpeggiator button. How do yo do it? You make a sequence or a loop with the Arturia?...im a beginer.. im about to buy the CAT... will be waiting for your answer.. thanks

[@limbicbits]

Yes, the arpeggios have been done using the KeyStep.

[@tylergates4075]

The ADSR on my unit does nothing! I am still pretty new to monosyths, so I'm sure it's my lack of knowlege. Can someone enlighten me?

[@limbicbits]

You might want to try to lower down completely the Filter Cutoff and set the Env Amount to 70 %. Try also to lower down the filter eg's sustain and you should hear how it works.

[@tylergates4075]

Great thanks, and awesome video. Any advice on how I can learn to understand this synth better and synths in general? I just printed the manual and plan to read that.

[@limbicbits]

@@tylergates4075 Reading the manual is always a good start. Then, try to recreate some patches you like. Read a bit about analogue synthesis and keep on exploring your synth by trial and error. And a very important thing: Never buy another synth until you have fully understood the synth you're using currently.

[@__korvin__6713]

Great video! How are you doing the arpegiation?

[@limbicbits]

Thanks. Sequences and arpeggios are done with the internal sequencer / arp of Keystep

[@Pulse2AM]

Cat Pawtches.

[@dvuemedia]

Is it possible to recreate these patches in Behringer Neutron? I'm trying to to buy another synth, if you know what I mean. Nice sounds btw.

[@limbicbits]

You can recreate some of the patches but they won't sound 100 % the same. I'd suggest to first copy some of the patches as described in the video and make your own adjustments until it fits your personal taste.

[@muteoscillator]

I have a huge loss of volume when setting resonance at high values. Am I the only one experiencing this? Thanks

[@limbicbits]

A lot of analogue filters are behaving that way for a technical reason. So it should be fine

[@beloyaraistov8007]

Make video with behringer model d, pls

[@limbicbits]

Good suggestion! I think I'll do that in the next months

[@beloyaraistov8007]

@@limbicbits I will look forward to! thanks for your videos!

[@suparickyprime]

are there any videos on how to hook up this cat to midi controller ? thanks!

[@limbicbits]

It's quite simple. Either you use a 5 pin MIDI connection and play it directly with a MIDI keyboard. Or you control it via USB with your computer.

[@korynt3984]

Did they finally fix the bugs?

[@CRLFNKL]

Nope, not all of them

[@deanbridges572]

the unit has problems as starsky carr explained, i sent mine back, sub on oscillator 2 glitched

[@thirfytash7286]

Sorry didn’t watch that video yet, what is the glitch doing on sub 2? Just got mine and want to make sure it’s not glitchy as well

[@vhsx]

thirfy tash when you move the pitch on osc2 while sync is on it will sound glitchy. it’s not worth sending the unit back. just something to live with. this video proves it’s still worth more than what you pay for it. ;)

[@thirfytash7286]

@@vhsx thank you! Oh yeah I saw that part in the starsky video about the sync glitch, I thought you meant some new glitch he found in his newer video which I haven't watched yet, I'll have to test that on mine but either way I actually liked that it did that and kinda hope mine does it as well, it's something different from other synths, and I have a few other synths that can do sync correctly anyway, but that glitch might bother some other users, I thought you said thete was a glitch with the sub 2 osc, that's what was worrying me 😂

[@limbicbits]

Yes, I've experienced that, too (when using sync). I didn't care too much as I've sent the unit back after the video for other reasons. Not a bad synth but not too awesome either. And I like to keep my synth park limited to essential stuff (essential for me, obviously. Others might find the CAT essential for their music production).

[@ginrickey6755]

@@limbicbits In that case, did you find either the PRO-1 or Wasp to be better synths overall? I can't decide on one.

[@xuzhangning]

why the cat sound like so fm? But it is analog, right?

[@limbicbits]

It's analogue but capable of doing audio frequency modulation. This might result in a more fm-ish sound in some of the displayed patches

[@xuzhangning]

@@limbicbits cool, good to know that. I’m sold. Cat will be my first behringer🤗

[@michaelpierce3264]

got it crazy synth super fat nothing wrong with the first oscillator sync the first one is a medium sync second is a hard sync it’s modular fat three tracks at the time if not is too much cholesterol need some skinny wave tables and samples to garnish the sound the electron cycles can do super tight timing

[@limbicbits]

Thanks for your reply!

[@rexaguilar2353]

I just wish they were bigger in size

[@limbicbits]

I found these just to be ok in size. Studio space sometimes has more value then real estate in central London ;)
