It’s was part of their leak
From the top of the thread
More choice can only be good IMHO. FM & granular in particular is being praised to death on these boards, which is aight and all, but the more the merrier I say!
I’ll be grabbing that analog vocoder if they ever make a desktop version. It’s not a coincidence that both classic scratch sounds are vocoded speech, I bet more great sounds could be conjured with one. And running drums through a vocoder always sounds cool and you can come up with great pluck/stab hits.
You can buy the Roland Boutique version of the exact same machine today.

yes, but I am only interested if its analog. I already have several digital vocoders I can use if needed.
Even though I now own two ACB boxes, I am not convinced of the sound quality of the emulations.
Form past experience with Behringer’s audio interfaces… I would not be too excited about Maelstrom… expect bugs, glitches and firmware updates (only with a windows updater) that make things worse or do nothing.
I wonder how many people use the VR interface?

Didn’t realize it costs $5000.
I’m hoping for those drum machines they ‘leaked’
I’ll be really sad if I don’t get my 300$ 909 clone 
I’d like a Deepmind 6 sometime in the future tbh but since I am a horrible keyboard player I’ve got nothing to do with 12 voices

Exciting news in that it means that we will likely have a variety of affordable analog polysynths coming in the next couple of years. I hope Roland does an awesome one in the Boutique format.
Roland is happy to sell you one right now for $299.

Behringer would sell heaps more gear if they didn’t print their name on it.
Got a shitty old behringer rack thing, and I think
I could almost make eye contact with it, if it lost the badge.
Surely their marketing division have discussed it

The few things I’ve bought from Behringer have been solid, Bcr2000 controller & Behringer ECM8000 measurement mic.
Had them for years and they’ve not failed yet although I was stupid enough to give the Bcr away some years back 
Yeah I know, just would be better with no name

Hehehe 
And the best part is, it doesn’t sound half as bad as the 808 ACB! The 909 boutique is quite a nice piece for the price.

Regarding the drum machines, I’d probably just wait for the next Perfect Circuit Audio sale and get a TT-78 - but that’s just me.
Just my uninformed speculation – will Behringer (Music Group is the corporate name) leverage the digital signals engineering expertise of their subsidiary TC Electronics which makes a ton of digital processing products to do digital synth products?

Thirty minutes to warm up? An hour to calibrate?
