For everyone like me who still dream having Shermann Filterbank.. Good move

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Great little product for sure

[@jasonchristian8362]

[@jumpingman8160]

Oh yesssssssssss

[@kierenmoore3236]

The Sherman is grittier, I believe? I’ve seen a video with the maker; looked like he makes them in the sunhouse (or similar), attached to the back of his place … big ‘outdoor’ area, crammed with gear … ☺️. Nice space to work in … sure beats a fluorescent-lit office …

I'm 51 years old and I pray that I can live another 30 to 40 years because I got to see how the Behriger story plays out..

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Must see the end of this saga i agree!! 😂

[@lundsweden]

Do you think it'll take that long for them to reissue everything? I think at the rate they're pumping out gear, by 2030 they will have run out of "inspiration" if you know what I mean!

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

@lundsweden they need an avalanche now of product releases

Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Me too!!

[@jumpstar9000]

The Italian Siel DK70 (1985), German Wersi Stage Performer MK1 SII (1986) synthesizers as well as the Oberheim DPX-1 Sample Player (1987) all used the SSM2045. VCA/VCF chips. The most famous device was maybe the E-Mu Emulator II (1984) which was used by pretty much everyone. It was a very popular chip back in the day and quite available, so a lot of DIY builders used them. I listened to the sound demos for the Mutator. It sounds very nice.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Future is bright!!!

[@jumpingman8160]

Siel had such cool keyboards.

It's really cool to see Behringer recreating iconic classics and I hope to see the fairlady (fairlight cmi), the Atomni (arp Omni if they don't keep the Omni as well as the Behringer odyssey) and MT-12 (oberheim Matrix 12)

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

All those would be amazing

[@Midi-olo-gist6758]

Great info. I think I would want one. Seems like it will add all sorts of creativeness to my grooves 😊. Thanks bro

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

My pleasure brother

[@newshoesbigblister]

I am looking forward to the "BB" Mutator! Exciting to think what innovations they may include in this incarnation. Also, I love the idea of Behringer teaming up with the original designer/builder, Nigel Bradbury. Seems like almost every day Team Uli is announcing more fantastic news! And the anticipated delivery date of my pre-ordered Syncussion SY-1 has moved from end of November to end of August this year! Boom!💥 Happy days! I'm hoping that means the Linn Drum may be available for pre-order this side of Christmas! 🎉

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

That would be the ultimate 🎄 gift the Linn Drum

I have no gripes with this clone tbh... I mean I use VST fx like crazy. So yeah man this one is on my list. Good vid bro!

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Nice man!! I wonder why mutronics give no credit to Nigel?

[@hanzvolt]

@@synthsamuraiproductions Who's Nigel...🤣

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

@hanzvolt Little-known fact: Contrary to the information given by the Mutronics website, the Mutator was conceived, designed, and the first production runs hand-built and tested by a British guy called Nigel Bradbury who started Mutronics with London-based studio-owner Mark Lusardi in the mid 1990s. With his partner and their new-born daughter remaining in their home-town of Oxford, Nigel worked on the Mutator in London for £50 a week, almost all of which was taken up by the rent for his grimy week-day accommodation and bus transport back home at the weekends. Eventually it became uneconomic and uncomfortable for him to continue spending so much time away from his family, and Nigel parted company with Mutronics with nothing but a second-hand Mutator (previously owned by Duran Duran, no less) to show for his hard work and creativity. His part in conceiving and creating what is probably the best analog filter unit available remains unmentioned on the Mutronics website and promotional materials, and some people feel he was unfairly treated by his business partners. To this day he refuses to discuss this period of his life. Nigel currently designs medical electronic equipment in Oxfordshire."

[@hanzvolt]

@@synthsamuraiproductions iI was joking.. as in not acknowledging Nigel just like Mutronics, sorry Nigel

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

@hanzvolt damnnnn 😂 who nigel?

[@klstay]

Biggest question for me is if the input levels will be selectable between line and eurorack. The former with input attenuation would be nice, but I do not see that.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

🤔 time will tell. Demo soon id say from patch dog

[@klstay]

@@synthsamuraiproductions I would be surprised if Vykaar Tones does not also get one. He will definitely be able to answer the question of what level the inputs are.

[@SaintKristofer]

Partnerships with the original designers and engineers are the B products that have the greatest appeal.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Yeah i agree. I hope the rumors of working with Roger Linn are true. NDA thoughhhhh 🙄

[@jean-louispech4921]

At least for this products , peoples can't make the commons critics, legitimates or not, agaisnt Behringer cloning old products. And it means that they will work with the original plans, not only with reverse engineering . A lot of time and research saved.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

@jean-louispech4921 yup awesome

[@Codywiththeracks]

Nice ❤❤

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Cheers 🍻

[@jasonchristian8362]

not a SPECTROVOX CLONE? working with the actual guy who made it, kinda weird. kinda cool

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Alot of people dont know behringers works with alot of people on their clones who were. Involved with originals. NDAs

[@jumpingman8160]

This is one of those "must have" to add to their monosynths. If they do the Filterbank as well... hmmmmmmmm-hmmmmmmmmmm!!!

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Yeah on the monopoly baby

[@jumpingman8160]

@@synthsamuraiproductions yes, as an example.

[@mannygrossman]

I had a Mutator back in the 90's. It was cool, but nothing really all that special. It was a filter and it filtered the lows, mids and highs. Didn't have a particular sound that made it stand out one way or another to the plethora of filters out in the late 90's/early 2000's. I thought my Frostwave Resonator kicked it's ass. The thing that made it special was it's stereo ins and outs. But other than that, ho-hum.

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Hmmm why so many people rave about it? All hype?

[@PubikEnemy]

The mutator was known for it’s high end components…

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Interesting Behringer is also known for its high end. Components, the company cool Audio sells all their chips to the other synthesizer companies the more you know…

[@PubikEnemy]

@@synthsamuraiproductions behringer is the opposite of known for their high end components, the mutator was more than filter chips… more akin to turning a channel strip into a low pass filter than some euro rack with cool audio filter chips…

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

@PubikEnemy the original designer nigel is working with behringer and also adding some extra goodies

[@PubikEnemy]

@@synthsamuraiproductions i hope they can replicate the entire signal path. You could put LOUD stereo signals through it without distortion. I miss mine but it’s not worth the almost 4k i sold it for.

@lundsweden 😂

[@kierenmoore3236]

Why wouldn’t a synth player buy one?! If it ends up anything like the original Mutator, it will sound LUSH. Guitar players do seem/tend to know more about analog/vintage FX, in my experience … Mind you, I suppose most modern guitarists don’t really know what those old units sounded like, these days … Those older units all tended to have real CHARACTER; which I will take, over a relatively sterile sound with a bunch of ‘bells and whistles’, any day.

I have a original Its a unique piece of kit that goes for over 2k on the second hand market perhaps I best sell mine before the value tanks 😬
