I have a Neutron, just how different is the K2?

[@TomislavRupic]

Roy Naidoo a lot different, maybe not when it comes to oscilators (k2 ring is awesome) but filters are totaly different. I would say neutron is a more versetile synth, it even has overdrive and delay, but K2 has those dual filters that really give it different flavor.

Just want to chime in... if it's the same type of case as the model d, neutron, and the 104 eurorack case (it most certainly is) the side panels are wood, not plastic. You can take them off and look in the holes, feel the weight, smack them together to find out. I'm pretty sure it's the same wood used in the Deepmind synths too.

Could you do some more experiments w/ the external in? The unique feature from the MS-20 was that you could play or trigger it w/ almost anything: another synth, a guitar etc. Anything w/ an audio signal could play this synth. Could you try to trigger the filter and envelope generator 2 w/ external gear (i.e. somewhat like a wah-wah pedal, which is nothing but a filter)?

I might add this to the comparison I've got planned. It's always a bit hit on mis on the MS20 - so wouldn't want folks to think it was any synth in particular doing it badly.

@19:52 Filter 2 is inverted, compared to Filter 1 - you can see it in the slope of the saw tooth.

[@TimeScribe]

Would you patch between the K-2 and any Eurorack module to show if the patchbay is compatible? I realize the pitch is using a different standard but what about the other functions? Thanks.

[@eternalvoid2678]

It's s-trig, so you'll have to invert any gates. The voltage ranges of the modulation are also not the eurorack standard, so you'd need some scaling. Other than that it's 3U, there's nothing "eurorack" about this thing.

[@TimeScribe]

Eternal Void Thanks for explaining. Why would you need to scale? Couldn't you just input the cv and let the difference between the standards act as a sort of random? If you compared the a sine lfo from both synths is it just the signal strength that is different or would the shapes of the sine wave be affected by the different standards?

[@0Fdigital]

​@@TimeScribe You'd need to attenuate, because it'd clip otherwise. A 10v peak-to-peak sine wave into the 5v p-p inputs would make it almost a square wave. It's a shame Behringer didn't make a slight adjustment so it could be properly eurorack compatible, but I guess that's what the Neutron is for, maybe?

[@eternalvoid2678]

​@@TimeScribe The other way around is also a problem, as the triangle lfo is -2.5 to 2.5 V, and the square 0 to 5 V, so if you use that as modulation for eurorack stuff, you wouldn't get the full range. The external signal in is also 3Vpp max, meaning that a eurorack level signal would clip massively. I wouldn't be surprised if the VCA and sample and hold (which is track and hold btw) would also clip when using eurorack level signals. The only thing eurorack compatible is panel. I really don't understand how they justify marketing this as a eurorack synth. It really isn't.

[@TimeScribe]

This information is super helpful. I couldn't get my head around how the voltage would get interpreted across the machines.

Would you recommend this to a beginner who wants to learn about synthesis and as something with growth potential? Like the Model D but I'm seriously put off by the oscillators going out of tune. I kind of like the Pro-1 but this seems to have more potential and I like the Neutron but I'm not sure whether this might be better...?

[@StarskyCarr]

For a beginner I’d definitely go with the Pro-1. It’s got all the basic functions well laid out and then when you want to go deeper the mod section can open all sorts of fun. I’d say you would graduate from the pro-1 to a MS20 in programming terms at least.

[@thethirdman225]

@@StarskyCarr Thanks so much. I will definitely take that on board. I have limited experience with a Roland Juno 6 but the layout never made a lot of sense to me. Watching you working the Pro-1 and a lot of the others, I’m picking things up pretty quickly. Initially, the position of the Modulation section threw me because it’s out of sequence compared with say, the K-2 or MS-10. Still you explain it well and I went back over a few bits I didn’t quite understand. Thanks again.

[@HazeAnderson]

@@thethirdman225 Pro-1, Model D, CAT, or even the Neutron is easier to learn than the K-2 😅

@@HazeAnderson Yeah, well I took his advice and got a Pro-1. It’s pretty good really but I’m still working out what some of the bits do and when to use them. I’m a very long way from, you know, Kieth Emerson being able to imagine a sound and knowing how to achieve it. I may never get there. The “workflow” is different from what it was on my sister’s Juno 6 and TBH, I probably understand the Model D workflow better. But the sounds this thing makes are amazing and the ability to use more than one wave concurrently out of one or both oscillators is pretty impressive.

Fender and Gibson bank on re-issues of vintage guitars that everyone craves but few can afford and no ones thinks anything of it.

I've got mine too, here is a little demo song made with the K-2, if you have 3 minutes... it's here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGfGkn99mcZlrqM The only K-2 "problem" is that it is using the legacy Hz/V system not the Eurorack standard but fortunately there is a standad Midi input and and USB Midi port. And if you're using an analog sequencer like doepfer Dark Time or Doepfer A155 you can pitch it correctly. But you can't use a Eurorack quantizer of course.

[@lucasc5622]

If we're all being completely honest, it probably sounds much the same, when you record a synth, you instantly lose the analogue-ness of the sound. But nothing beats having a set of dedicated (real life) control knobs, not just some buttons on an iPad. Being able to change a patch so quickly and with real tactility adds a whole new world to making sounds. A K2 is probably cheaper than most iPads anyway!

[@AdamsBrew78]

@@lucasc5622 It really depends - most music fans won’t be able to tell a difference between analog and digital in a mix, especially with the type of consumer speakers/headphones they listen on. Nothing in the recording process makes the differences entirely vanish though - here’s an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKwYpJ-pt5nrdU 3 identical mixes - 2 with minimoog VSTs (among best Model D emulations in business, Synapse The Legend and Arturia MiniV) and one with original Minimoog. I somewhat surprised myself, so quickly picking the one analog mix just with iPad speakers. You can tell there’s no aliasing, especially on the filter sweeps. Far more organic/infinite another even more clear example would be found on Deadmau5’s masterclass, where he compares digital vs analog - the silky smoothness of analog definitely comes across if you have an ear for it and you’re actively focusing on where the difference is most noticeable. (OSC/filter sweeps, etc) That said, VSTs have improved so much in the last 10-20 years and are getting better all the time; There’s nothing wrong with relying solely on them, even for mainstream production work. I’m definitely no analog snob :)

maik edens meinst Du das hat nur was mit den SMDs zu tun? Mein Vermona Monolancet ist der glatte Gegenbeweis, analoger gehts nicht, er hat im Vergleich mehr Cremigkeit, Organic als mein Boog D

[@reginaldbowls7180]

No PWM? Still V/hz? No thanks, I'd rather have a vintage modified one still.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Behringer is just a copy cat.

[@cresshead]

PWM....

[@StarskyCarr]

No - I was planning on mentioning that - but stuck to what it can do.

More horrible than a Boris. Even crapper than a Donald. Booby prize in a raffle, it should have a health warning across the keys.

[@StarskyCarr]

I’d only it had keys ;)

[@alphare6810]

Sounds terrible - typical Behringer crap!

[@BarnacleButtock]

Lfo doesn't go nearly fast enough at max speed :(

[@StarskyCarr]

I’ll put it through it’s paces in a comparison with the MS20 Mini.

[@ElectronicazMusic]

Can the esp process CV? Could you send the lfo through it to boost its speed?

[@StarskyCarr]

@@ElectronicazMusic No, it has an amp, LP, HP, frequency to CV converter, envelope follower and trigger. There's nothing that could speed up the LFO.

Thank youuuuu
