Donāt think I need to make any further commentsā¦
No you need an anolouge mono synth
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Cheers!

These are good questions.
I donāt know anything about motorcycles, but based off of what my 8th grade science teacher (Mr. Ingallsāwho also played rock n roll music on the guitar for our half days) told me, Harley Davidson is the same way. Cheaper motorcycles have the same components, ride the same, feel the same, etcābut theyāre not āHarleysā, man.
So no. A Behringer will never be a Moog. Iām sure Moog can keep charging that price for the Mother 32 no problem. I mean the Deepmind 6 exists but JU-06 boutiques go for $550 on ebay (literally $250 more than what they retailed for) and actual honest-to-god Junos go for upwards of $2000. Itās pretty crazy.

Overpriced rubbish? Nah lol
Leave B do what he does best!!!
Is that usb on the rear? Wonder if thisāll double as a usb > cv converter? Or if a cheap usb>Midi cable would do same job through this? Been close to picking up an Sq-1 partly for that purpose, to get iOS sequencers involved in my rack. Also in market for an analogue osc and another filterā¦ Maybe this could kill a bunch of birds with one stone and save me some HPā¦for the price of a pebble.

Sounds good, looks good. At this price point? Behringer won the NAMM to me.

Slowly setting up my new music room, I would want it to go a lot faster but I have very little time. have to be at work often and loving family caring stuff at home.
Because I am progressing very slowly with my new music room I have the time to identify my needs and wants in regard to sound sculpting / music making + itās function(s) for me and the pitfalls. Creativity, self expression, flow activities, time consumption/distraction,ā¦ it all pops up in my head in combination with gear combinations and sounds and the idea how privileged I am right now and the fact that it was not always like this, I have come a long way in that regard.
There are toys for many Western wallets, we live in great times in that regard. These many toys times also get us in problems. Is it sustainable? Too many choices? Doubt? Gear CRAVE and problematic GAS? Are premium prices for boutique stuff worth it?
It makes me sit back now, I see the pattern of wanting more coming back, then it goes away again.
In the end I just want to get some emotions in and out. I donāt care about style or conventions, dance floors and opinions about that.
Thatās what it is meant to do for me.
Reading this topic made me write this. I hope that made it relevant enough.

Economies of scale plus the fact they probably donāt need a huge margin on these if any at all.
Behringer is about to do to synthesizers / electronic music producing at large, what NIKE and New Balance did to skateboarding.

Behringer has always been a budget gear music company. Big difference thereā¦ Nike didnāt give a fuq about skateboarding until it saw $$ in it.
And I remember paying crazy prices for vision, airwalk shoes etc. Just to destroy them skating. It wasnāt idealā¦ and look at Vans. They did pretty great in the end from skating going mainstream. Swings and roundabouts.

Youāre paying for a lot of badge on a Moog. A Behringer doesnāt hence the priceā¦
Dunno if posted already. Sequencer info. Decent. Price on this is nutsā¦

Whatās the little LED strip? Looks kinda like a tuner?
Thatās kind of frightening! This costs as little as a mid-range soft plugin.
That is definitely a factor but with Moog, you are buying tank like build qualities compared to Behringer.
Iām not choosing sides here. I briefly owned a Deepmind !2. It was pretty solid though the knobs/faders did feel a little cheap. I then briefly owned a Voyager RME and can safely say that build quality on the Moog quite easily surpassed any other synth Iāve owned.
The Voyager is perhaps not a great example considering Moog had to bring in an extended warranty for a run of faulty analogue boards (of which mine was one) but they did fix it free of charge. Not really sure Behringer would offer that on a c10 year old machine!
Anyway, Crave will find its market and Iām sure will sell massively. Iām curious, an it polychain effectively? ie. hook 5 up and control all from one panel?
At that price I think they will not make any profit with it, I guess. It is clearly marketed at putting the competition under pressureā¦
Iām pretty sure they make every single component on the thing and donāt need to pay what others would for the same parts. Screws, chips, knobs, switches, buttons the whole thing is a kit of parts from a massive Behringer catalog.
For instance, a similar part that costs Make N0ise 3 cents probably costs them 1/2 a cent.
