Behringer EDGE : semi-modular percussion synth

Got mine today and it’s awesome. Like the dfam it is a hi hat machine. But with the midi it pairs perfectly with the digitakt.

I also sent audio from the Lyra-8 into it. I made a G min chord with 4 oscillators and then put the hold up so it droned. Fed it into the edge and turned up velocity on step1 only and shaped the sound.

The envelopes on this are amazing and snappy so I was able to turn the lyra into a stab machine. Freaking sweet to have a rich analogue stab like that.

I sampled into the digitakt and tightened it up even more. Then I made a percussion loop on the edge and am adding another to compliment the stab and digitakt tracks. I record a clean 4 bars from the edge into the DT then set it to slice mode and randomize until I get something cool. Fantastic work flow.

Figure I’ll use my digitone in sync and just keep building up the track.

Anyway for $200 it’s so good. Better than dfam to me since it resets and has midi. Plus you can divide the clock easily as well. I loved the dfam too but it was so expensive. The edge feels like a steal for the price.
