The Behringer Gear-in-progress Thread

Yeah, I’m not convinced a 1:1 adaptation of the Easel to Eurorack makes nearly as much sense as something like the upcoming Model 15 adaptation. An original West Coast-inspired design (that borrows heavily from Buchla) might be a better fit.

Ive got the new Music Easel coming soon after speaking to Buchla. What in particular did you like about it? Always good to know others experiences :slight_smile:

Yes, I am as well for the first time really excited :nerd_face: about a Behringer product announcement. Ok. The 2600 and Mono/Poly was kinda cool, but the the BEasel, if it actually comes out, will be very welcome in my setup.

I don’t see anything too cool about patching these fiddly tiny holes on Volca Modular either. It’s a toy, really.

In this case, Behringer’s clone seems like a much better fit.

Cheers. I was hoping April but looks like its been delayed a few months. What do you think of the new design? They say they have improved the reliability of the keyboard.

This is just an image and idea submitted by someone making their suggestion, but Behringer decided to feature it to get opinions.

Fun idea if nothing else.

Wouldn’t some CV connections be good with this ?

Isn’t this getting out of hand, are they going to clone every synth ever made ?

Is the synth market really that big ?

I’m all for bringing back the classics and lower priced synths but has gotten a bit silly imo.

Bring back the DarkStar!

Not sure Uli is bothered by sales, he’s just a synth nerd.

Well, almost all of their first ones such as Neutron or Boog are out of stock. So I guess they are kind of a hit…

I’ve got one here ( with vocoder thing too )

It’s got quite a raw sound …I dig it out quite often and sample it.
I don’t think that RadioShack synth offers anything worth making it for.

Are there release dates for any of this new stuff?

Must be due pretty soon as I saw this sample pack up already:

:rofl:

Yeah the neutron is a beast, at those prices it’s a no-brainer so yes they will sell boatloads but the Radio Shack Concert Mate ? A cheap way to get Moog sound back in the day ?

I mean I know it’s just a suggestion but I feel the market for something like that is already being served quite well by their “boogs”

I’m so confused by that. Did they sample the originals but refer to them as emulating the new Behringer synths? :joy:

Might be true although I suspect not all of them will eventually see the light. I think Beh tries to test the waters with these announcements and maybe sometimes even build the hype. By “calculating” that interest they can choose how large the production amounts will be, of course if there’s a need for any. I think it’s kind of smart.

Based on the text description I think they’ve sampled the original synths but using the behringer prototypes as a way to market it… perhaps their market are more familiar with ‘new unreleased synths’ and not ye olde versions.

I strongly believe in the future there will be only a few synth manufacturers. Like Amazon, Behringer are pricing everyone else out of the market.

Ah yeah I missed that bit of the blurb. Strange angle for a sound pack :joy:

Already posted?

I’ve been pretty impressed with their guitar pedals to be honest. The new ones are in another league build quality wise, but even their cheap Super Fuzz, which is highly recommended by JHS, is really impressive. I love the boost mode on that one.
