THANK YOU, it was because of THIS video and your first one on this LOVELY (and seriously inexpensive) work of ART that I HAD TO get one for myself- and, even though I already had several other synths, has quickly become my absolute favorite piece of gear!! Can’t wait for Behringer to release their long ago announced POLYKOBOL Synthesizer!!

Great video. Pretty amazing what you can do with this thing and you did an excellent job of showing that. Seems like something a lot of people could get a lot of interesting usage out of, maybe even do things they've never done before. Can't wait until you show us what can be done with a UB-Xa.

Bought the synth and the patch set within 5 mins. It has been the best first night with a synth - actually learning what it can do through building the patches and useful annotations on what to change in the PDF. Superb. Please do other sets for the sub 37, b 2600 especially the 2600 with some different/ your styles!

It’s the synth I spend a lot of time using now. I just love it .I can even get guitar like sounds from it,and add a few pedals and they take it to another level. Good vid as usual.

Thank you for this high quality video, like all of your reviews on a very high level, covering every possible detail. In my opinion, the final mix unfortunately is dominated by the drums, so that the synth gets drowned. However, there are very few other reviewers that provide reliable opinions.

Mr. Carr! As this is an Expansion Module and if I were to get it, I would be using it between two Behringer Neutrons, It would’ve been great to see you use the Kobol to modulate etc, another Behringer desktop guy, saaaaay for instance the Neutron or a Modal D or Mod 15. Just a thought, as I think it’s kind of designed to kind of do that with is it not? OK, all the best to you and please keep the killer coming, NAIan
@abwilson28529 ай бұрын
It’s a great synth. Try using an auxiliary cv to map velocity to one of the many modulation inputs. Velocity to osc 2 level to filter fm is a favourite.
