The Behringer Gear-in-progress Thread

Bode Frequency Shifter 1630

This one can have it’s own thread as it is in process of shipping.

This seems to be the first mention of this in the thread although it has been known for a while.

This isn’t going to make an enormous impact on the music world, but on the other hand it does have real use, as an effects unit, and it sounds good. I really can see this also being put in it’s own box and used outside of a Eurorack system too.

I’ve been looking forward to this one and TBH thought it wasn’t going to happen. As an analog pitch shifter the circuitry is apparently quite complex with lots of matching resistors and capacitors required, so it will be interesting to see whether B’s version has trimpots for manual fine tuning and whether this is needed out of the box. A shame they didn’t use the spare panel space for some CV input attenuation knobs like they have on their 100M clones.

BQ-10 ?

How deep is the ocean ? Now stuff shows up without them announcing it. How much more stuff is submarining our way ?

Unknown if this is a product, or even intended as an announcement. It does fit with them actually making stuff for them to decide if they actually want to make it. Deep pocket engineering.

Don’t know but this might not really be a future product.

Cool if they did as I’ve got a few things that I’d love to use that with. Although I’m at the point we’re I assume it’ll just never make it and all their doing is creating mock ups and then making the ones that get the most love.
WHERES THE SYNCUSSION BEHRINGER!

In Eurorack they already have three analog sequencers – the 960, 1027, 182.

Plus in the works ?? Their digital sequencer the BCR64.

uuuuh. what could that be :slight_smile: I am only interested in polyphonic stuff with patch memory that starts with UB. or ends with Xa or similar.

I’m holding out that at least one of the four is something completely new and mostly original.
( Perhaps that’s a long shot, but not impossible. )

Another prototype done without a business plan. The BX700. They are looking for the reaction.

Described on FB as :
a DX7 on steroids as it has an authentic CS-80 analog filter, a drum machine built in and a few other cool features.
Sounds like an engineer, riffing on a theme. Six operator FM, analog filter. Looks good to me.

From Behringer FB :
Marc is actually a pretty cool guy who was deeply involved in the PRO-800. Before I press the send button he said “tell the folks we could make this bad boy also with 8 analog voices, full patch memory and for the same price as the PRO-800.”

So an eight voice polyphonic Moog Source. Again an engineer ( Marc ) riffing on a theme. Behringer is looking for feedback. This is only a mock-up picture, not a prototype.


The original from 1981.

Wow. Ugly as f***. Really?

Edit: referring to the BX700

I like how it looks

This seems very interesting, and seems like they are a bit more “daring”, don’t you agree? The keybed is an enticing touch - but I’d be very interested in seeing how big it is, as the keybed on the MicroFreak made me hit the wrong notes quite often.

I really, really dig that they have introduced a screen. If this is sometihng new they’d venture into, I think that would be a really, really strong selling point (if they nail the UI and software, that is).

I’d probably buy this in an instance, if the price is right - which it’ll be. @Behringer: Yes please.

probably one of their nicest and most original designs yet, if it ever happens. The buttons and layout look great.

This is the Weird Behringer I like. A so-crazy-it-might-work mashup of vintage and modern ideas with what looks like it could be a brilliant UI.

That color scheme, though… I think that can be safely left in the 80s alongside the membrane buttons. Someone please send Uli these alternative suggestions:

Stealth mode:

Pure gold:

yep, these 2 mockup colours look slick.

steampunk relic vibes. I like.

I’d prefer a typical minikey keyboard or just nothing rather than that touch stuff.

My one feature suggestion would be to replace the D-Beam clone with something I think would get a lot more use: a built-in reverb.

That would really be quite a package: a DX7-like with a visual operator programmer in the Digitone/Opsix vein, a CS-80 filter, and just a solid digital reverb, all in a compact unit, and presumably quite affordable.

Leaps better. Thanks for making these!

They’re teasing the 2-XM right now on FB so maybe that is one of the four. That would be good news, it’s one of their several GIP semi-modulars. I listed its features in this post up thread, and there is a picture up there too.
