Build A Track Only Using The Behringer Neutron

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

This is real music and not somebody making silly noises like most Neutron videos I've watched. You have my respects Sir.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Thanks!

[@RayR]

Behringer haters are crying tears of anger now, realizing that just can't justify their hate anymore.

[@TheKiriru]

One of those rare occasions, when the music is that good, you stop watching and actually start listening.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Thanks a lot!

[@nebula0697]

That's the real KZbin music test: will it go into your playlist that you made that's just for listening? Did you know you can get an extension to kill the "Video Stopped, continue watching?" thing?

[@SLP-SandAngel]

Exactly...

[@tracelistener]

For real. I just clicked to research the synth but now I'm astral traveling.

[@Raggo12345]

True!

[@iqi616]

That's a great overlay. It's not just cosmetic - the colour coding really makes sense of the patchbay.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Yes, I agree

[@MrPipmeister]

This is how I used to build songs up back in 1985 when I had just one synth (Moog Source) only back then, no sequencer or DAW (except the small sequencer in the Source) - all recorded to a 4 track - record three tracks, bounce down onto 4th. Then another 2 tracks added and all bounced down. And then do it again.. 7 track and the hiss starts to build up. But never forget the sense of achievement of having a complete song with just one synth.

[@RobertIverMusic]

I can imagine what a chore it was. Committing the ‘mix’ to one track etc etc. Thanks for sharing!

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

At the start of lockdown I of course lost my bartending job and was denied unemployment...which took about three months to find out anyway. I had to sell pretty much all my gear but kept an old MacBook and a Minilogue XD. Sometimes it would feel a little tedious compared to jamming with multiple pieces of gear, but it also felt like such an accomplishment to make whole tracks with only one synth, not to mention a testament to how flexible it is.

[@bertvdlast]

I can relate to that brother. My first synth was a Moog Sattelite and then i saved enough to buy a TEAC 2340 4-track recorder and started to record and bounce.

[@jtBrander]

very well done, nice to hear someone play actual key changes and a bridge =)

[@Teleken1968]

Fantastic work. Arguably the best I’ve ever heard the little Neutron sound.

[@Sea-Of-Sin]

Finally someone got the excellent idea to actually make music with this instrument, good music at that too :) Now I've got gas - me want!! Thanks for the upload, great work!

[@gnarlysoundscapes7210]

It's a steal for 300 bucks. You should get one :-)

[@ConwayBob]

Fortunately, your GAS attack won't be terribly expensive this time. This is a whole lot of monosynth for the price. There are even some used / open-box ones floating around for about $250. Money well-spent.

[@foggy4180]

Nice track, Behringer should ask you to use this one as an introduction tune for their Neutron! Also loved your ambiënt track. Hope you gonna post more and describe how you make the track.

[@madmac66]

Out-friggin-standing. Easily the best demonstration of what Neutron is capable of that I have seen. Want one more than ever now. Was waiting for Crave, but now I ain’t so sure

[@NeonFuxAlot]

Just get 2 craves instead :)

[@phoenixrising1576]

Behringer have really opened the door with analogue for the masses.

[@Symmetriad]

This is probably the best demo I've seen of the Neutron's capabilities. I've been working with mine for a month and I love it, although I haven't completed any tracks with it yet! Thanks for this!

[@RobertIverMusic]

You’re welcome 😉

[@MrShaun1578]

I'm really surprised on how huge the sounds is and how versatile this little synth is especially for its price range safe to say its a great investment for a budget minded studio

[@JSRF420]

Well..... I fell absolutely in love with this track and video. Thank you for showing me what capabilities my neutron holds in store for me once I learn it.

[@BreBeats-t4w]

This is really a masterpiece. Really stunning!

[@GB3770]

cant stand red synths - take cues from moog to make a classy synth - white text on black metal, wood ends with nice knobs with shiny metal - so easy....

This one is really nice and it shows, you don't need 20 machines for a lot of money... All the hyped synths that do more ore less the same. Use what you have. Thanks

[@farben_]

Very varied range of sounds, definitely an underrated synth, maybe it will end a future classic.

[@thechoiceisyaws]

Exactly the kind of video I want to see for the neutron! Thanks so much. Amazing track btw!

[@ErikHawk]

This is brilliant! Very nicely arranged, tracked, and mixed. Good stuff and a fantastic demo of what you can do with just one inexpensive monophonic synth.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Thanks;-)

[@syntheticlex]

Awesome, just got my Neutron and Ive been digging around youtube for inspiring tracks. This is it!

[@N-trepid1]

Kudos! Loved the composition-- and the format (step by step) of your video. The Neutron is a no brainer @ $300. It has its own very recognizable character.

[@Eli_B3000]

It's $200 now...

[@tristantheuerkorn777]

That piece here is a great example for electronic music generally should sound like. Man, I love it! 👍

[@sonicaspect7895]

Really bad-ass track! I was really digging the sorta neo-retro cyberpunk synthwave vibe, that type of feel is right up my alley. Great timbre usage/selection for the elements, very expressive and cohesive with the theme, but the arrangement structure especially was solid AF. Those chord progressions had some powerful sounding changes, that really made the bass melody feel dramatic & like it was bringing out some ice cold harmonies against the other synth layers, & dipping into just enough dissonance to be super satisfying on the resolutions in a sophisticated way. Great stuff man! I haven't had an opportunity to play around with a neutron yet, but stuff like this definitely has it on my TO-DO list. Cheers.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Hi Sonic Aspect, thanks for the elaborate comment. (I like the channel name btw). I haven't been using the Neutron (or any of my synths) as much as I've wanted to. Made a a lot of tracks/ scores etc. but just due to the quick turnaround time requested no time to utilise my gear as I would like to. Who knows, Christmas is around the corner, and maybe some extra time to return to the synths ;-)

[@Rickytee2]

Excellent demonstration of this synth I almost overlooked it , as said above in the right hands great things can be done thanks for posting you've made the diminutive Neutron sound like an absolute winner..

[@RobertIverMusic]

Wow, thanks !!

[@Pulse2AM]

Super! When Behringer was working on the synth I said NO to the color scheme you proved me right! LOL

[@Djpuzzle]

That's a lovely demo/song! This Neutron really does have an amazing sound to it as well.

[@Pictus_Invictus]

RuLeZ! After listening to this excellent track, any doubt about the sound quality of the Neutron disappears...

[@bukkaratsuppa6414]

It's noisy as hell.

[@RobertIverMusic]

I managed to have no real issues. The way you power it (ground loop) and the use of the usb port do influence the noise floor.

[@bukkaratsuppa6414]

@@RobertIverMusic So what do you do: do you power it over usb? I use ac power, and i'm kinda not happy with the noise.

[@RobertIverMusic]

The Neutron is a little more finicky (at least in my experience) when it comes to how you connect the unit to your mixer or sound card. I had some noise or high pitched whining and just by connecting the adapter to a different socket (not the same socket as my presonus card) did the trick. A good usb cable also helps. In the end I used a good old midi cable instead of the usb connection for the 'best' results. Although it has more noise than for example my Acces Virus B, it's not a problem in a mix (at least not in my opinion). And I really do like the sound and versatility of the Neutron.

[@AndrewTSq]

Maybe a usb opto isolator could work also, to avoid strange ground loops. Midi is already opto-isolated. (in like 99% of all devices I own)

[@RobertIverMusic]

Yes a nice verb and some keys. Something like the Minibrute 2 plus a Hall of Fame;-)

[@towerofspunk]

I wasn't impressed with the Neutron when I first heard it, but you make it sing. Nice song that held my interest. Very impressive work.

[@RobertIverMusic]

To be honest, that was my initial response to. Maybe it’s because we’re used to the Moog Sequential and Roland sound. But it really grows on you. And I’m really happy with it. Be it ‘smooth’ or ‘aggressive’, it’s quite easy to make a sound that fits.

[@Raku777]

Thanks for sharing this. It gives me an idea about what is possible with the Neutron. I have been fine tuning my sound studio and made some simplifying of my equipment recently. I decided to keep the Neutron but let go of the Model D. Listening to your track seemed to confirm that I made the right decision. It also gave me ideas on how I could layer sounds from the Neutron using two loopers so that I could do the layers in real time. I have been enjoying what a looper and some FX pedals can do to extend the range of a synth...

[@RobertIverMusic]

Thank you! Please share, I’d like to hear. Sounds interesting!

[@Raku777]

@@RobertIverMusic kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKink2yOgr2Be9U So far my experiments have been limited. The video link is to a loop of a real tanpura, then overlaid, and duplicated to a second looper, which has a function of "1/2 speed" which makes it one octave lower. Since tanpuras traditionally have notes in two different octaves, it creates a rich sound when four octaves of notes are playing. I also ran them through some Audacity reverbs and delays (until I get my studio fully operational they work well for now). The bansuri in the video is me playing a homemade PVC bass bansuri (I am currently adding an extra lower note to this and making a second for duets to be possible).

I thought I didn't like the Neutron when it came out, as most youtubers did a terrible job of demonstrating it. Pretty much every patch video shows you how to make space sounds and not something you can make music with. I have been very impressed with your Neutron videos to the point that I just ordered a Neutron this week. Behringer should be paying you to demonstrate their next product release!
