Love the way Dan Fisher produces' 'Forbidden Planet' sounds' with ease!Dan could get 'Buchla' from this machine all day long.Amazing understanding of 'synthesis'!🥂

[@iwillnevergetone5]

my man Dan shows how beautifully the Nemesis Delay pairs with all synths, especially when routed to a stereo output

[@robertenglish9838]

Got one. Now I have to figure out how to use it. In '71, Ii had daily access to a Moog IIIP. Remarkably similar. 50 years can erase a lot of memory. Mostly I remember all the fun that was had. That Moog went to Europe (Tangerine Dream). I expect the memory will come back to me (hopefully). I did add another 960 and a 962. A real bargain compared to the full sized 960.

[@Scyber_Official]

I can't believe how far Behringer has come. I remember back in the late 90s & early 2000s their instruments and mixers were considered entry level for novice musicians just starting out. Now they're releasing a product almost every 3-6 months and even though some of the products may be clones of other vintage gear, Behringer's versions almost sound better, and their mixers are pretty much top-notch professional quality. It's kinda cool to watch a company grow for 25+ years and even thrive in bad economies.

[@davidreidy5750]

Dan you got the modular touch man.Always a joy to watch your vids 🤖🎛️📼

[@Koopakid917543]

I only have semi modular synth currently so this really caught my eye at that price point. I have a very basic knowledge of modular, but you explained everything perfectly and I started to understand what you were doing. I definitely want to add this to my kit down the road.

[@hulkslayer626]

Awesome!! Putting together a system 15 to put in my Arturia RackBrute to use with my MiniBrute 2S.

[@pauljeavons8878]

Must be pinch yourself time that we have this availability now in our lives at a price that can give the bank balance a chance. Behringer have revolutionised the world of synths.

[@BillVincent]

Daniel, thank you so much. I love watching your videos. They are informational, but more than that, they truly inspire me to go to my synths and actually play with them. I admit that sometimes I can barely get through a demo video from you without wanting to try out stuff on my gear too. You encourage exploration, and it's a beautiful thing. 🎹♥

[@geekmastermind]

As I get slowly back into the groove, the more I am gravitating back toward the experimental stuff from my (Paleolithic) school days. We had Moogs and an EML that took up half the studio. The first part of your opening immediately brought me back to Tangerine Dream's 'Green Desert.' I am deeply tempted...

[@mattmorris5001]

Daniel, you're the best.

Like tape delay, sometimes there is nothing in life as satisfying as playing with an analog sequencer! When writing this message, I realise there were 55 comments before me haha…

[@smitlag]

You really need to give Berhinger credit where credit is due. I, too, remember the cheap mixers with the transformer rolling around in the unit as you took it out of the box. But, they have come a long way. And it's giving people access to instruments most of us could have only dreamed about.

[@eugenekelley5348]

[@meneerjansen00]

Big thumbs up for you for making this great informative video. :)

[@ingolf7411]

Amazing ... but nevertheless ... the synth is one side, the other "magic" is the excellent Nemesis pedal. Tried to rebuild the "drops" with a Poly D and yes it works with the Nemesis.

[@mikep6967]

Right at 11:20 where you brought in the low pass my cat stopped purring to see where the other feline was lol thanks for the great videos

[@kevink2100]

Now after the price drop of Behringer I’m also considering in buying one of these. As experts in that field with long year experience….Do you think this is kinda like a permanent price drop or just a really special (short term) deal from Behringer?

[@aeon136]

HOLY SH*T!!! 🤯 @ around 12:23 w/ the Nemesis Delay/Reverb I SWEAR it reminded me of the backing tracks from the movie: Forbidden Planet -1955 (I think). I GOTTA HAVE THIS THING!!! 🥰

[@labelle4185]

is there any FX on the system 55 same as on the Odyssey or do you use external FX ?

[@ProfessorSynth]

Great demo, thanks Daniel

[@smandy121]

Great intro, thanks!

[@lecliche8849]

Are those red end-stands that join the two Eurorack Go cases together available to purchase? :-)

[@jekanyika]

Those stands are part of the system

[@lecliche8849]

@@jekanyika Yeah, thanks, but what I'm asking is if they can be purchased separately for someone who has two eurorack go cases :-)

[@jekanyika]

@@lecliche8849 It doesn't seem like they are on the market at the moment, but hopefully they will release them in the future.

[@lecliche8849]

[@RandomButBeautiful]

amazing demo, you da man

[@hulkslayer626]

Question: How exactly are you getting sound out? I know you mention "out of the mixer into the Nemisis and then into the system" but I was curious as to what cable? Is it a special cable? 3.5mm-1/4 cable? Is it then going into an interface? Mixer? Just recently got the System 55 and was ready to make some sounds when I realized that I didn't know how to get sounds out of it. Was hoping for a headphone jack lol I know they have modules that could do that... but then I also saw it can be connected to a mixer... if I do that, could I have multiple channels since there are more than one mixer and more than one out for each mixer? Thanks in advance for any answers 😊

[@sweetwater]

Hi Hulk Slayer. Yes, I use a pair of 3.5mm unbalanced (TS) cables that have 1/4" unbalanced (TS) connectors on the other end. Then, it's a pair of 1/4" unbalanced (TS) guitar cables from the Nemesis Delay to the audio interface, connected to a laptop. -_Daniel_

[@SlapShotts]

This thing is so cool

[@AlainHubert]

Superb demo. Thanks Dan. One question: does it come with patch cords or do we have to buy them separately?

[@sweetwater]

Hi AlainHubert. I don't think they come with patch cables.-_Daniel_

Game Changer Audio just released the PLASMA VOICE !!! ...it's 412 EUR, but a complete synth voice module. but i still don't know when the Behringer SY-1 is coming out yet.... but that will be Less Than 200 USD ...and the System 55 would benefit more from the specialized percussion.

[@popcycles]

Question, how do I send this out line level?

[@sweetwater]

Hi dpalaoro. I use a pair of audio cables with 3.5mm TS on one end and 1/4" TS on the end. These go from the Mixer outputs to whatever takes line level. -_Daniel_

[@popcycles]

@@sweetwater So out of the box I can connect this to my mixer or even laptop? And start recording?

[@wimve4719]

@@popcycles Yes, you can. I simply put a cheap Doepfer VCA/Mixer module before sending out the hot signal to the audio interface, just to be sure.

How did Behringer go from what it was before to glorious and eyecatching products? Who's the genius behind this big change in the company? They are delivering awesome products at an unbeatable price range.

[@Seekthetruth3000]

Does it need an external sound processor to make it sound stereo? Thanks.

[@sweetwater]

Hi Seekthetruth3000. There are many oscillators and mixers built in, so you can easily make stereo sounds just with the unit. -_Daniel_

[@BenyCK]

And it all started by putting a click on the 24th track and syncing it into Moog module by Italian guy in Germany;)

Man, I absolutely wanted this thing for years, but somehow, instead I got a bunch of semi-modular synths used because they were cheaper. I have no idea if I will ever be able to purchase this in the rest of my lifetime. Sure, I do have the cash, but with the way economy in Canada got tanked, especially later, - I'm just afraid to spend big in case it gets tanked even more, (and it probably will). I can probably safely spend about 1K right now, but going above this can hit dangerous territory for me. Hopefully in the future some of my (wealthy) listeners will help sponsor the purchase at least partially. Stranger things have happened to people, so I don't give up hope entirely. Or, perhaps I will get really brave one day and sell my kidney. Just kiddin'. 😂Or is it "kid-neying"?!

[@Hun_Uinaq]

It’s very interesting. Doesn’t tickle my music button though. Takes 14 minutes before anything approximating a musical sound really comes out of the thing. Up till about the 12 minute mark, there are just a lot of weird sounds coming out. Then, it sounded like Pac-Man or something. Then, there’s an alien spaceship or something. And the aliens fly away. Finally, at 14 minutes, we get a little pattern. Seems like most of your time is gonna be consumed just by making it sound musical in the first place before you get down to the business of playing. Maybe it’s just the guitarist in me talking. I don’t understand why you would buy that to make music with. Makes a lot more sense for a sound effects person

[@sweetwater]

Hi philomelodia. It's one of those things that makes no sense at all until you're made your own connections, and then add more connections, stopping only because you either ran out of cables or jacks to plug them into. -_Daniel_

[@Hun_Uinaq]

@@sweetwater sounds like me when I fall down the Linux rabbit hole. It looks like one of those all-consuming hobbies. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Thank you for the interesting video though. It really was quite fascinating.

[@newavestudios9883]

This is a fantastic comment. From my perspective, this is for sound exploration. You are absolutely right, modular can be a serious pain in the ass. If you are down to making it happen, and you do not have an "andrew" in your studio, modular is not the place to go. For sonic exploration, destruction, modulation, ect. modular is hard to beat. Cheers.

[@NexxuSix]

Here’s the deal: You can grab a guitar and plug in and get instant gratification. With a modular analog synthesizer you have to build the patch from simple components. Yes, it takes time to get a desired sound from the device, but ever so worth it in the end. Grab a demo copy of Arturia’s System 55, and run through the patches (literally instant gratification) and you’ll soon discover the versatility of a modular synthesizer.

[@partymarty6969]

it’s great to have a more affordable recreation of a synthesizer you love … especially when it’s a tangible instrument. I love all the synths Behringer’s releasing BUT they should really improve the sound/stepping of their filter, especially the filter for their “clones”.

[@sweetwater]

Hi Party Marty. There is no stepping on the Filter Cutoff. It's an analog filter controlled by an analog knob. What you're hearing (and it's my favorite thing about Ladder Filters), is the Resonance emphasizing each of the harmonics as it passes them. If you put White Noise into the filter, you'll hear that the filter sweep is perfectly smooth. -_Daniel_
