Pro VS Mini from Behringer

Behringer should stick to this type of thing. Dont just clone 1to1.
Sure its nice to have 99% of a 909 sound for a few hundred bucks. But add some extra ideas, reimagine stuff. Dont just clone for the sake of it because some patent expired or whatever!

They added a few things on 909. Filter, extended sounds , sequencer functions , usb midi …

But I agree , new things / expanded clones

Quoting myself as I seem to have predicted the next tiny cheap synth from Behringer. :joy:

It seems funny. I would still probably buy a used Microfreak.

New thread needed for this?

New thread already exists.

Sorry couldn’t see it when I scrolled the main forum feed. Thanks for redirecting me.

“Dont just clone for the sake of it because some patent expired or whatever!”

They’re not doing it “for the sake of it because some patent expired,” they’re doing it because there’s a demand for the product. People will buy it. That’s why for-profit companies exist. To make money.

It appears to be available for preorder, now, although it says “in several months”. The last time that happened, the first units were available the same week, though.

The shape of the synth is a bit ugly would be interesting to see how it sounds

did they tease a eurorack version of this too?

I don’t recall a Euro version but @Jukka will know better.

I’m hoping for a ‘fuller sized’ version as I’m not a fan of small boxes with small (6mm shaft only) pots etc. Sausage fingers and shit eyes etc. The latest vid sounds really good

Preorder on Thomann and Andertons now.

The Eurorack version is called Victor, I posted about it here.
NOTE : They did another rev of it after the one i showed in that post.

Behringer built a real prototype of it, see this post for a picture of it :

The pre-order from Anderton’s is £89, blimey!

FWIW I pre ordered the Pro 800 from Andertons and it arrived pretty much the day they said they’d be in stock. I noted some of the Thomann pre orders were fulfilled sooner than the quoted date. So I’d guess if they’re saying end of Sept, the that’s when they’ll be in stock. I’m not saying don’t order from them (I’ve had a few bit, never any issues) just that what you see tends to be what you get regarding dates.

Is there are dates for when the pre order will be delivered?

Thomann has been paying extra to air freight from the Behringer factory, that’s how they get stuff so fast.

jeebuz. for 99€ i can’t say no. plus full midi cc :heart_eyes:

could be like a way more interesting and versatile replacement for my roland S-1 - love that thing but i find the 101 sound sometimes a bit too simplistic (guess that’s the point).

preordered!
