I am all for that as I am looking to get one. Just wonder if they are there yet - so far it seems like analog is at the top of their list and not VA's?? Not sure if the legendary JP8000 would be a smash like the other "clones"??? But id be down if they could add more poly and fx to it, but add the dope filters etc as on the orig.and make the price like the ms1 or so!! AWESOME!!!

Did it have to be the size of a studio mixer?! I'm not really hearing anything here that the old TR-8S can't do. I guess those who have an analog fetish will want this, but like the RD-8 I suspect there will be little said about it after the initial vocal buyers get it.

I'm on a mission to get my Yamaha DTX E-set to send individual analog pad signals into my mixer into my DAW. The closest I got to this was via midi but the midi signal is too inconsistent.

Before I buy another Behringer product I want them to update the DeepMind iPad app, because the current app is not compatible with iPadOS 14.5.

Blame apple for that. App designers literally cant touch their code for updates until apple gives them the okay. They'll probably charge Behringer to do it as well. The very nature of being on apples store is anti competition. They cant link any of their behringer products onto the app without shelling out 30%. They arent making any money on the app by being connected to apple. They're infact losing money to try this out. Of course they arent going to really bother updating it.
