Behringer Syncussion SY-1
Keeping up the tempo, another new prototype from Behringer. Important to note this is prototype only, no guarantee this ever becomes real.
A two channel drum synth with the low level controls all laid out in front of you, in a useful and primitive way. Recreation of the 1979 Pearl Syncussion, redone in the large Eurorack format that Behringer seems to like – another one for the Behringer wall of synths if they ever do go ahead with the manufacture of this.

If you don’t think this is worth having in steel, there’s always Dataline’s Sound Pack of the Syncussion.

ADDED : January 2022. Behringer says on their Facebook forum, that they have completed the engineering on the SY-1, taking three revisions to get the sound just right. They also say they have secured access to the components needed to manufacture this, and are in process to go into production. No word on exactly when, nor the price, so stay tuned.
This is an interesting unusual sort of product. I’ve got to say that this approach of producing these functional bedrock sort of musical devices, has gained an appeal with me that i had not expected.
I’ve started a thread for this.
