Behringer JT-4000 pt 1: What a small, miniture synth. But how does it sound? Well, like this.

I got this as my son's birthday gift and now I had the chance to test it myself. You have to return it afterwards, he told me. So here we go. Pretty easy to navigate the basic parameters and play around with the settings, but the hard part is moving the right knob without touching the other knob right beside it. And to do small changes to the sound, since you easily make too big adjustments.
Using the Roland D-20 as a controller and running arpeggios from the JU-06A all run through my laptop, since the JT-4000 has no 5-pin MIDI, only MIDI over USB. Effects added occasionally, delay and reverb from a Zoom pedal, chorus from the built-in fx section of a Alesis mixer.

Lovely demo! Just got mine today and it really goes a lot deeper than expected

Thanks! I've never played the JP-8000, would be nice to hear your views on how well JT-4000 stands up to it!

Pity it does not have 5 pin midi. They did not think it through. If this thing would have the 5 pin midi, it would sell 50 000 copies more, easily.

Yes, it is really a pity. I understand the 5-pin midi is too big (this is really, really small), but they could have offered a TRS midi plug. Now I had to connect the JT-4000 to my laptop, running Dynareg's browser based JU-06 app (where I connected the JU-06A to feed the JT) and then still running a 5-pin midi cable from my D-20 to the JU-06A to feed midi to the JT. Not very convenient.

there are 5 PIN to USB MIDI hubs. USB MIDI is probably the future anyway.

@patsonmusic 9 ай бұрын

@@dreamwalks8200 Probably yes. Not enough with a hub, you will need a device working as a USB host. And if you want a portable setup for live gigs that is another box you have to carry around. And I think it is really nice being able to connect new devices with 40-year old ones, without extra wiring, boxes or hassle. But this is a 50-euro synth, so I still think it is a great value for the money. I would have appreciated TRS MIDI in/out. USB MIDI will work great, when manufacturers have taken care of isolation problems, but now people seem to run into that very often.

@@patsonmusic I agree it will take some time until it is conveniently useable. But it will be most probably.

Nice job avoiding copyright! Great video!

@patsonmusic 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! Just noodling around with the sounds and whatever comes to mind. If a sound reminds me of some riff, I try to play it, but not too long. Otherwise I'm not actually thinking about the copyright control stuff 🙂

Love to see those vintage D-XX's worked into modern setups - still find the 20 engine keeps up sound-wise? Would be very interested in hearing a few 2-voice jams paired with that Kobol sound!

The D-20 has some great sounds, but I feel they are not as good as on the D-50. I'm planning to do a comparison between the D-50 and D-20 soon, after which I probably will let go of the D-20 (since furthermore D-50 has aftertouch which the D-20 lacks).
