Behringer Victor - What is our Vector, Victor? First impression, no review, no walkthrough.

I received my Behringer Victor surprisingly quickly today. After unpacking, it immediately found its place in my rack, and I spent some time playing around with it. Here are my quick and straightforward impressions. Don't expect a detailed walkthrough or intensive testing; these are just my initial thoughts after unpacking, installing, and powering it on.
I exclusively used the Behringer Victor as the sound generator. The pitch was triggered by my self-built Midi2CV and Arpeggiator device. The Victor was modulated by two LFOs and passed through a DIY Moog-type ladder filter. Finally, it was refined in the mixer with a touch of reverb and delay from a Zoom CDR.
Both the VCA and Envelope Generators also come from Behringer.

A great quick example of its sounds, and ideas on hooking it up. Simple text scrolling up the screen to let us know what you're up to. No massive intro etc. etc. etc. Great vid. Thanks. 😁

Very kind words! You wrote exactly what I had in mind 😊

[@lofidarkambient]

I received mine yesterday but haven't had much time to spend with it yet. Love this walkthrough and your other content. You have a new sub 🙂 Cheers from Belgium

[@philaesfarewell]

Thank you very much indeed! Have a good time with your new toy!

Got the non-eurorack version, but Victor will become a part of my system in the near future. Thanks for demonstrating it.

[@RetireMentalityChallenged]

I'm really liking the Victor too.

[@garaughty]

Awesome tones... gorgeous rig !

[@XYtoTheDoubleG]

Enjoyed the process

[@philaesfarewell]

Thank you, my friend!

Great video. Just got mine do you know what gate in does, was hoping it would be similar to trig of level on plaits. Thanks

[@philaesfarewell]

It triggers the programmable walkftrough of the waveforms.

I have one and its ok. The amount of XY CV mod feels rather underwhelming even set on maximum depth. The joystick seems to have far more effect.

[@philaesfarewell]

seems to be something, that could be easily fixed with an firmware-update

[@goonfish]

Also make sure your CV source actually outputs a high enough voltage that Victor expects; many CV/Modulation sources only output ±5V (or anywhere from ±3V-8V). This exact scenario is where a voltage scaler+attenuverter utility really shines!

Nice. I'm not seeing a lot of videos from actual users with Victor yet, so it's cool to see one in the wild. I had a Brains for a couple weeks and wanted to like it but I ran into some issues with the way it handled CV control over certain parameters. Victor SOUNDS phenomenal and I've been seriously considering one since it was announced. Have you encountered any glitches, bugs or bad behavior with yours?

[@philaesfarewell]

No, not at all. I have to admit that didn’t I test it in every possible way, but no issue I am aware of, right now

[@ericMT]

I have 3 Brains and they work fine with the latest firmware update. Maybe they fixed that issue. Almost the same price to just get a Plaits clone though.

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

Honestly, I feel everybody has a rack full of Mutable and Make Noise stuff, and it all makes the same generic bloopy generative meh. That said, if I did decide to go for a Plaits clone, I'd be looking at Knit just to save some hp. My Brains was running the latest firmware as of early January, but no matter what sequencer or mod source I used, I couldn't get it to behave. Changing modes with CV to build a drum kit, it would lag, it would overshoot, it would bounce, and sometimes it would even do nothing.
