new synth mini format from behringer

 

Yes i saw this on facebook, behringer cz-1 user group, quite a few videos being posted.

 

I tend to keep a safe distance from anything of this brand. ANYTHING

I had a CZ-101 many a moons ago and I loved it (despite it being... well, cheap), so I'm tempted to get this just for the memories. Sure, the Arturia emu does well here too, but there's nothing like plonking away on a tiny keyboard.

But then again, maybe not. I'm still trying to figure out if the Pro VS Mini actually transmits sensible controller data as I could do with an extra XY joystick controller. But as it is with Uli Beer Ringer, the manuals are next to useless. No MIDI chart? Get the fuck out of here. And before anybody starts, using a gamepad controller is not an option here, neither is a XY trackpad. But that's too offtopic already.

So yeah, if it's cheap this might be great for some solid digital thump, kinda like Korg Volca FM2 does.

 

i have one acid synth from behringer and one JT4000 and its just nothing special, a toy.. not that good.. if you want something serious aim for 800 euro synths and up..

 

I own a lot of synths from Behringer, along with most of the big-name ones, and honestly they all sound great. I’ve had almost no issues with them either. I really don’t get all the snobbery.
And don’t start with the whole “you don’t know the Moog low-pass filter” thing.

 

does anybody have an br-808? how do you like it

 

what is this? something new?

 

aint that the simmons drum synth that they mentioned ages ago

 

ah yes, forgot about it

 

I have the Wasp and a TD-3 and both are pretty killer actually. The Wasp was a dream come true as I will never own an original one (if any are even left in working condition anymore), that thing sounds fucking awesome. And the TD-3 well. I personally am sick to death of the 303, but this thing is absolute fun to play with and sounds pretty dead on to me. Their stuff isn't bad, but you do 'get what you pay for' as far as longevity goes. Although my Wasp seems pretty sturdy, and luckily was new enough it doesn't have the double triggering issue. My TD-3 actually had a 20 oz mug of hot tea spilled on it, let it dry out for a week and that thing still raves til the cows come home.

But ultimately you put them next to something like my Prophet Rev 2 or TD-1000, or even my 'cheap' SH-4d, and you'll see where the cost cutting comes into effect when it comes to Behringer.

 

Oh yeah. Another synth for toddlers.

 

This new mini synth is giving me a phase distortion craving, but if I want to get the Cizzle for VCV I’ll have to wait… also that guy in the video is kinda chubby, unlike the price of that hardware they got… maybe I’ve got something already that’ll help with this phase…

 

I get the "snobbery".. People hate that Behringer essentially are making money "stealing" other people's work, but you know, like you I'm a happy customer. I could never afford the real deals. I just bought my 4th behringer synth today, an Edge to go with a Crave, Model D and Pro 800. Love them all!

 

I like it from what I see and hear, although I'll wait until they release a 6-voice version.
Only 3 voices? Like in the old Volca FM?
Let's wait for CZ-2 Mini

 

The "other peoples' work" is usually just a general distaste for the way they do business. Most people with original stuff don't care anymore, because all these emulations and knock-off versions do is inflate the prices of originals even more. They impact the price of originals no more than Roland putting out a 303 plugin themselves. The most valid reason to not buy anything from them is their manufacturing quality problems and other problems with the actual units. There is no such thing as a Roland TB-303 MK40 for a reason.
