Excellent review. It seems to be much more complex than it looks. With the patch bay the possibilities are endless

[@PlateletRichGel]

Can you explain a patch bay to me? thanks

[@akissparaskevopoulos]

Scott Johnson I’m no expert in patching. This is an assumption from the video

[@ModularLanding]

@@PlateletRichGel Watch a basic intro to modular synthesis (I have one on my channel called "Beginner's Mind Episode 0" and Loopop may have some) and it will explain what patching is. It allows you to re-route the modular. For example, you can send the LFO to other destinations or take inputs from other synths or modules to bring them into the Crave for modulation or additional sounds.

[@daveb4628]

Scott Johnson the patch bay is really no different to say, the switches on this synth that decide for example whether the LFO effects the filter or the pitch.. a patch bay just means that instead of being limited by the switches/modulation options included by the manufacturer on the main panel, the user is able to route any output to any input, e.g the LFO to the filter resonance, or to the envelope length

Replacing the noise with external audio will be much more useful than people realize. Limitless potential, the most immediatly useful being your own noise source of choice.

[@MyBlogsTV]

Having external in also enables a primitive overdrive device

[@MetatronsCube23]

@@MyBlogsTV Yup, route the "headphones out" right back in and turn it up.

[@ToyKeeper]

I route other synths though a Microbrute, with the same MIDI going to both. It works well! This looks like it can do the same thing, except it doesn't have the headphone-to-line-in thing built in as a knob, so it might be necessary to choose between external audio or the "brute" effect.

@@iqnill Yes you have a point here. But for People with small Budgets this is a Nobrainer. I have a Mother 32 and love it. But I also have some Synth from Behringer Like Neutron, Model D (sadly the OSC is not very stable) and DM 12 and they are amazing. Moogs are much too pricy for my Budget. Synth Music is my Hobby I do not make any Money with Music. For me it is an easy Way to have a lot of Fun without breaking the Bank.

[@iqnill]

@@roland4507 I have absolutely no issue with democratising synths and allowing people with lower budgets get into a great hobby of music making. I actually, until recently, thought that Behringer moving in was OK, by now however I find it disgusting that they simply steal other's ideas with no shame and slap their logo on it. Their lower prices come from the fact that they don't spend anything on RnD (which in BVehringer's case stands for Ripoff and Duplication). So, my comment has nothing to do with being an elitist snob, just with the Behirnger's lack of any morals, it would seem.

[@SyntheticFuture]

@@iqnill well let's not forget that a lot of companies like Roland and Moog simply don't want to listen to the market and make what the people want. Probably because they are scared of devaluing their discontinued models. Roland could have just as easily re-released the 808 and the SH101, but they didn't. Why is beyond me but I can't blame behringer for grabbing some easy market share. Maybe it will open the eyes of the top dogs and makes them rethink their strategy (one can hope right..).

[@iqnill]

ThaTyger Putting Roland and Moog in the same basket is beyond me. Roland have become masters of half-baked abandonware trying to capitalise on their yesteryear classics. They could not re release the 808 as the faulty components they used for the originals don’t exist anymore. In blind tests people can’t tell the difference between their 808 and SH101 virtual analog hardware, so they are re-releasing the classics. My issue (which is being ignored or derailed in the comments) with Behringer is one - ripoff and duplication. Maybe it’s just me, but I would burn of shame copping others and calling it my own. Of course the prices are going to be low if you don’t have to develop anything, no surprises there. It was very refreshing to see them build something on their own, but now they are back to their old tricks - copy and rebrand. Does that democratise access to technology - yes. Is it a good thing - yes. But at the end of the days it’s like profiteering from the sale of stolen goods... So if one wants a cheap car radio, it’s available in the back alley.

I'm typing this from 2038. Behringer released these things in late 2021 after literally many teething problems. The problems caused Uli to implode, leading Behringer to be bought out by Modal. Only about 800 were ever produced, and here in 2038 these are now worth more than solid gold.

[@BluffMunkey]

@@goji7273 , what worries me is that just a little bit further into the future music is created simply by the power of thought. Unfortunately seeds were sewn in the early 2020's meaning that the vast majority of the population technically (and measurably) became morons, and thought is now a dying art, replaced by twitch like reactions. Life has effectively become Beat Saber.

[@goji7273]

BluffMunkey I have mixed opinions. I do think that the discipline of learning music conventionally WILL make you a better musician, but I also believe in the free distribution of the arts to be made by anyone. I think Brian Eno once said something along the lines of “MIDI is great because the limit is not your physical skill, but your mind”, which makes enough sense to me. I think even if everyone is creating music and it’s mostly garbage, there will still be quality work floating to the top - if you ever REALLY dig through SoundCloud or Bandcamp, you’ll be amazed by just how many amateur musicians use them, and yet what you listen to and what receives the highest acclaim is the true quality work.

20:50 Yessss!!!!! This is the missing feature in way too many sequencers e.g. Roland JP-08. Actually I consider any hardware step sequencer missing this feature to be fundamentally flawed. Plus 32 steps instead of the usual 16 makes the Crave worth the price just for the sequencer alone.

The Patchbay on top is awesome and clever. Its one of the main reason to get this one. Creative possibilities are very good for this price range via the patchbay and a personal modular background.

[@freezerman5871]

Thank you fro the in depth review, always THE benchmark for me. If I can chip in my 2cts about the sequencer: this is the most obscure sequencer operation approach that I have ever seen (and with 30 years experience with midi and gear I have seen a damn lot!). First the manual is weirdly organised, for instance the DELETE PATTERN is described in the CREATING A PATTERN section, then it does not state that you must clear the pattern page by page (at least with my unit). In addition I think the led system is inconsistent, so it is very hard to know what is going on, and what mode is actually active (STEP, STEP EDIT, PLAY, KEYBOARD or whatever). After 3 hours just on the sequencer, I still feel like my unit is faulty (probably not) and I still haven't been able to seamlessly programme something useful into it. On the other hand, the sound and the general approach of the Crave for sound design are really good, and for the list price it is a great analog unit with modular capabilities - that's why I bought it: as an introduction to analog and modular (for me), and it really does the job. But for my peace of mind i now sequence it with my MPC, i've abandoned all hopes with the onboard sequencer.

[@ModularLanding]

If this is $200 or less then this is really crazy value. Basically they created a Moog Mother32 for 1/3 the price. Pretty crazy. Sounds decent too. Even just a single oscillator module like the Dixie ii+ would cost more than this whole thing. Yes, the Dixie does sound better and has more waveforms, but still, this is a great gateway drug to modular.

Also, I was asking what particular aspect of the filter you like better on the M32, some tired old line about the Moog filter doesn't really mean anything to me. Also, you think it's called a "latter filter" so what do you know anyway?

thanks for sharing this. i'd love to hear to hear more exploration on the white noise patches, in particular percussion.

[@andikellotat5128]

it´s in production now! can't wait

[@rswrwjwt]

Wonder when i can buy it, what do you think like in 8 weeks or something?

[@fakshen1973]

For the price and number of features, it's pretty solid. If you want your first semi-modular synth to expand on.. this isn't a bad idea. The price-point is also great for someone looking to satisfy their G.A.S. with something new to throw at it.

[@Evildandalo]

fakshen1973 Behringer is really killing it with introductory semi modular synths. This and the Model D are way better value for your money than something like the Grandmother right now.

First thing I thought when I saw that transport section was 'a mother 32!'

[@MrJackal43]

WOW! I’m a guitar player, and I’m getting one of these! Cool!

[@agnosturaelwsr]

Will get my today, this was a very informative video, thanks!!

[@meneerjansen00]

If it's really $200/€200 then it's a no-brainer. Thanks for the excellent extensive review. [edit] some sources say it's only gonna be €150...

[@dbzlouis]

wow heaven is coming

[@couchcamperTM]

not available yet, so this has got to be a PREview lol (no really I am not amused with Behringers teasing anymore. I want the crave since January and all I get is videos

[@akissparaskevopoulos]

couchcamper that makes two of us

[@zibbybone]

Yeah, Behringer is all like "here's all the cool shit in the pipeline, don't go buying anyone else's stuff even though it could be years before our stuff is available."

[@couchcamperTM]

@@zibbybone which doesn't work, it's not that we stop looking elsewhere. :-)

[@MistyMusicStudio]

Oh man thanks so much for making sense of the patches for me haha. Fantastic tutorial! I'm so ready to MAKE NOISE :D

[@hectorghio7045]

Thanks for this tutorial. Excellent!

[@jasonhoffman6642]

Another great review Ziv! This could also serve as an “intro to Analog” for anyone interested in getting into it.

[@loopop]

Thanks!

[@vgfxworks]

I think 'Crave' and "Neutron" would make a nice pair..

[@jppagetoo]

They do. I bought them together for a Eurorack-a-like synth for a nice price. Patching betwween them is easy and powerful

[@valley_robot]

Yep that's my setup

[@adventureswithsteve2981]

I cant wait to see what hardware mods come to this , i would love to see differend colored versions too

[@ErichNolanBertussi]

solid as always boss.

[@spookypen]

I wish I was from the future and owned this right now.

[@dirtyharry1881]

Don't you mean... right after?

[@athopi]

Just before yesterday

[@jasonhoffman6642]

Ditto.

[@valley_robot]

I’m from the future , it’s still not out

[@SPAZZOID100]

spookypen u can’t afford a $200 synth???

[@cliffc642]

Everything should be measured in volcas

[@drummer4hire12]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for the help and ideas!!!

[@KebbaPropulsion]

Wow! It really has that classic sound. Brings me back to 90s trance compilations. Sounds so phat and warm, that resonance on the filter just screams classic!! Cant go wrong for that price really, especially if you consider the price of classics these days, could get two of them for a good price, but there again I would rather get the Pro 1 or NEutron..

[@skriptico]

Ill buy one when it becames vintage :))

[@SendyTheEndless]

Always reminds me of a chocolate and caramel biscuit. Makes me wanna eat it.

[@pletch]

I’ll echo everyone else’s comments that this was VERY helpful and an awesome review (as all of your videos are). My Crave arrives tomorrow and I’ll be going through this video again. I’m hoping to connect it up with a Beatstep Pro that I’m trying to figure out… in case you’re inspired to go in-depth with one of those that would be helpful too!
