I wish it was as pretty as the original. The Behringer modules look great but the keyboards are really ugly IMO.

I think he’s not talking about people who don’t share his point of view but just those who consistently spit on Behringer clones, whatever the site, you know those who don’t really respect those who don’t share their point of view …
And personally I’m surprised, even on Elektronauts, that there isn’t one already. But to pretend that this behavior does not exist, or to pass it off as ā€œa point of viewā€ is at least original.

clones are great. I just dislike Behringer. that said, I’d rather people have tools to make music than not. I just won’t give them my money.

but this thread is about their newest clone. not whether/not clones and Behringer are OK (there’s a thread for that somewhere else). so let’s stick to that :+1:

I am a little disappointed they didn’t named it the Behringer After Eight.

I think you misunderstood my post.
Yay Polyeight. Aren’t you happy about a new behringer synth!? :smiley:

I think where people are coming from is that behringer isn’t a much loved company. If the conversation can stay off behringer as a whole and stay on the Polyeight - then things won’t degrade into synth politics.

Glad to hear you’re excited for it!

I think it’s encouraging to hear they’re focusing on the arm chip , using one development platform means more successful ( less bugs ) , a more developed platform for new products.

More shared features , bug fixes ( though also potentially consistent bugs across multiple synths ). I presume it’s for controlling the synth ( lfo , envelopes ? ) and not digital fx etc.

I won’t be buying this but I’m sure many will , I have been looking closely at grey/blue 2600

If it’s one oscillator, like the original… too limited.
(Not counting the suboscillator as a full oscillator)

Why would someone want this, or the original? Has it got some unique filter or something (genuinely asking)?
