    "So Marc, one of our mad product designers, asked me to show his PolySource draft to you, which is inspired by the Moog Source. He stands right behind me and said he won’t leave the office until I have posted it as he wants to read your feedback over the weekend.
    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 what do you want to tell Marc? Go or no-go?" - Behringer via FB

    "What a crazy Friday. Can you believe that after Marc left the office, our other obsessed product magician Miguel quietly tapped me on my shoulder and handed me this synth prototype.
    He said “you need to know that this synth is on no roadmap, no business plan and even Uli doesn’t know about it. I have designed this in my spare time and I just wanted to share this secretly with you.
    It’s a DX7 on steroids as it has an authentic CS-80 analog filter, a drum machine built in and a few other cool features.”
    I promised Miguel to keep it confidential so when I share this with you, make sure you don’t share it with anyone else, otherwise I’ll be in big trouble.
    We promise to never make this synth as the world surely doesn’t need another DX7, or does it?" - - Behringer via FB

    Bring em on!
    With them having so many irons in the fire I'm dying to see what gets released.

    "Everyone has left and I’m still here as the guys have locked the office. So I walked over to the testing center and found this beauty on a desk with a note “ready for p”.
    Does anyone have a clue what that means?"

    Perhaps it is ready for packaging, ie, the box manufacturer can now use this final test unit to create all that needs be done to ship units like the exterior printing, dimensions of the carton and foam inserts. Just a guess.

    I might feel dirty and hate myself for it in the morning, but since Oberheim isn't producing these I am thinking about grabbing one or two. I've only tried the software version and liked it.

    "We recently announced the launch of 4 synths in July, and the TD-3-MO was the first one we announced a few days ago.
    Unfortunately we must share with you that we’re currently encountering challenges with some production equipment and may not be able to fulfill our promise.
    Be assured that we’re trying everything to make up for time, however we’ll likely see some delays.
    We’re very sorry for disappointing you." - Behringer via FB

    Haha, this thing looks crazy.

    they get everyone all hyped up about these "new prototyped products", but do they ever show anything but computer-modeled images of the units? There are lots of other pre-production images they could accompany these with, that would not give away any proprietary manufacturing information. They could just be floating these things out to see if there is any interest, and as a free side dish of clickbait.

    I definitely think we will see the BX700. These pictures aren't generated. I just learned that they're going to try and make it 16 voices BTW.
