Latest from Behringer Facebook. General opinion is a Jupiter 8 or 16.

âJT-16â on the screen, nice. Iâm assuming that 3 octave keyboard is unrelated. Thatâs a lot of outputs (?)
Itâs most likely ( imo ) going to be the poly-aftertouch keybed in the final product. No sense to spend all that time and money developing a poly-aftertouch keybed and not including it in all your top flight keyboard products â as long as it doesnât cost a lot to manufacture, and given the price of the UB-Xa it doesnât.
For anyone who might try, donât confuse cost and quality. It just takes longer to engineer.

Knobs and legend font on the keyboard are the same as their Kobol âŚmaybe itâs two teasers and not one?

Glad to hear the Moogerfooger clones are so far along. I really like the Mu-Tron clones (phaser and octave), so will definitely be interested to give a couple of these a try. The filter and delay in particular. Delay doesnât seem to be mentioned there though.

I think youâre right about what the keyboard shown in that photo is. Compare to this teaser photo (source: Synthtopia):

If i understand you correctly, i think you are referring to the product called the AD104 which is like the Moog MF-104M. Amazona puts it at 50% so it is in the middle of the list, rather than like the three others near the top of the list at 90%.

Ah, ok, thanks. I missed that. Darn, thatâs the most interesting to me, but the hardest to pull off well. Good news for my wallet though. Neither of those are essential. Just a temptation. 
Letâs hope so! The Kobol has Midi chain facility which would make sense if the keyboard version is a goer. If the keyboard in the pic is just for assisting in the testing and dev of those boards youâd have thought theyâd just use something off the shelf but who knows?
If the keyboard used is just for teaser purposes, then thatâs another matter, havenât they done that before, with something else in the background ?
How similar are the other hinged keyboards, the Monopoly etc, with the parts you can see in the picture ? I think we listed the hinged kbs somewhere in this thread.
That all said the Kobol keyboard synth is well along in production, and probably just waiting to be manufactured.
ADDED : Another of the hinged keyboard synths, that Amazona thinks is coming very soon is the MS-5, so could it be that ? That one looks really interesting too.

Iâve done a series of posts in the UB-Xa thread, on the very powerful mod-matrix in that synth. If that is what is in store for all the higher end Behringer poly-aftertouch synths, the CS-80, the Jupiter, etc, that could open up lots of new territory in performance.
Itâs the same as the image @pmags posted right down to the layout of the switches. The control knob on the first pic is identical to the knobs on my Kobol too. As far as I know theyâre not used on any other B synth, either hinged or eurorack.

This is just me guessing on what would have the P-AT keybed. So yeah maybe the Polykobol too.

Iâm really doubtful about the Polykobol now. The reason being is they have manufactured the Kobol and it will make it sort of dead in the water as everyone with want a Poly for a bit more money than a mono.
Poly D <==> Model D.
Maybe.
One of the things with all the Kobol synths, at least looking at the originals they are based on, they are all slightly different.
Funny thing to say in a way, Behringer is going to have too many synth options. The problem of too many choices leaving aside the manufacturing issues.
Youâd think though they will never need a Kobol Mini.
The poly Wasp => The Waspâs Nest.
The poly Cat => The Clutter.
The poly Neutron => The Sulphur.
A sulphur atom contains 16 protons and 16 neutrons. What a synth that would be.

Fair point. Didnât seem to affect the sales of the Model D. But its very saturated now. That was in the early days. Now people are being more careful how they spend their money.
I donât know⌠the Kobol has poly chain out of the box so it makes sense if they do bring out the PolyKobol that you can get the Kobolâs to add more voices. Iâm sure Thomann was listing them for ÂŁ170 odd quid the other day when I looked which isnât a fortune IMO.

Iâm not sure what a Poly Kobol will do over a Poly D? Arenât the Kobols a French Moog?
Iâve got the Kobol and the Model D and theyâve pretty different beasts in terms of their architecture, patchability, filter etc. The Kobol is deffo worth checking out. For me itâs one of the better monoâs theyâve done. Thatâs not to say thereâs anything bad about the Model D, quite the opposite but itâs got a different flavour to the Kobol.
