Those waveforms look like fm, maybe a cycles clone?
Yeah, I think too on this way. The countdown sounds like a Vowel and speech synthesis model from Plaits, and the main lead sounds like a Waveshaping oscillator model.
In other hand, I found so much similitudes on the icons appear in video with the Plaits modelâs icons.
Anyway, I hope a new product, even if itâs based on Plaits, more than another clone of eurorack Plaits or microfreak clon⌠

Behringer DS-80
Behringer put out a Facebook post about the work they are making to copy the CS-80, work done by John Price an engineer with specialization in analog audio electronics at Midas.
Itâs worth reading the original Facebook post.

I just discovered this:
Music Tribe has applied for the trademark POLYTOUCH in February of this year. Medeli has the same trademark, from May of 2020. The Medeli Keybed PolyTouch is used by their subsidiary ASM in their Poly-Aftertouch Hydrasynth Keyboard.
Scroll down to the bottom of this page.
It would be a very strong move if Behringer really does develop their own Poly-Aftertouch Keybed.
Behringer posted a prototype picture a long time ago for an poly aftertouch keybed. Been looking forward to atleast 5 octave poly aftertouch keyboard. I make do with the Hydrasynth, but it was really nice to have 76 keys on the Roland A50 keyboard i have.
Youâre right thomaso â this is from August 2019:
ADDED: Worth noting this was all a month before ASM announced their HS.

The pulse is picking up. Theyâre using the hinged format again, which i like. The article includes a video with the original Roland SH-5, so you can get an idea of the sound, if youâre not already familiar with it. Quite a distinctive sound.
ADDED: From this thread, The Behringer Gear-in-progress Thread - #324 by Gint â Gint found a video about the SH-5, that Behringer showed in their âHeritage Synth Collectionâ. That was two and a half years ago. My comment after it was wrong, wrong, wrong ! Any other synths in their collection that havenât been announced ? They had another video on restoring a Linn Drum, which has already been teased as product now too.
ADDED : It has been said that Bob Keeble of AMSynth is doing the design of this, which means it will be really well done. He also did the 2600, and 2500 Eurorack modules.

Itâs gone quiet on the Solina front. I thought that might have been out by now.

⌠though not completely cold. They did make the detailed video on the internals, and the challenge with recreation of the Solina just five months back. I posted that. (Adam is good in that video.)
Perhaps thereâs some issue with getting the volume of the repeated parts, or they decided to change the limitations they duplicated from the original.
Yeah I watched that at the time. Yeah, maybe itâs a parts supply issue?
The other one that has been talked about for a long time in this thread, that has some real excitement behind it is the SYNTHI VCX3. You might suppose 2600 sort of pricing with that. I wouldnât be surprised to see more word on that not to long from now.
ADDED: Eânauts thread for this.

I absolutely love the SH5. not just the sound but the looks. and to me, thereâs something very ugly about this clone. I canât put my finger on it, itâs just hideous to me. maybe itâs just me liking the original so much and seeing it in my studio for so long⌠I mean it does looks pretty damn close, and all they did was shorten it to three octaves and bring the BPF underneath the mixer. but it just looks wrong to me now, I guess 
anyway, itâs cool theyâre making it. not something I would call an âiconicâ synth but I guess theyâre kind of past that and on to higher hanging fruit now. I will say the standout to me is what they didnât include: modulation for the band pass filter. this is the absolute number one complaint of anyone whose ever played an SH5. the BPF is the star of the show here and itâs a shame Roland didnât provide a modulation option, and absolutely insane that B didnât either. the only other thing Iâd like to see would be a switch for linear or exponential envelopes. the originalâs are linear, so slow and not good for fast or percussive sounds. and youâd want these included, for sure. but itâd be great to have the exponential ones as well.
really, this is always my biggest complaint about B. they donât take old synths and make better versions, they just clone them. but anyway⌠itâs cool more people will be able to experience the SH5 sound now!

I guess if thereâs enough interest for those mods they may make it to the final model? They have been known to listen to that sort of feedback. It would be cool to see more of that sort of thing - improvements over the originals.

yeah, Iâd say at the very least, add patch points to the top/back to allow modulation of the BPF. thatâd be non-intrusive to the look and should be pretty straightforward from a circuit and production standpoint.
