Behringer says they have more orders for this little thing than they do for the Pro-800 (50K). They're investing in doubling their production capacity. ​

Thought about ordering one for a laugh, but shipping to Canada was 25% of the retail price.
I'll stick with my MicroFreak for a USB block powerable portable synth for the park with headphones.

 

Thought I'd pass this along.

Pro VS: the keyboard is too bulky and I don't need it: are they planning to release a desktop version?

Thanks!
You just made my day.
When L&M stopped dealing with MusicTribe I lost my warranty and repair rights for the Neutron and Odyssey I bought there.
Now I can get the gear I want from them instead of ordering from the US (Sweetwater).
Not much on their website yet, just accessories, but hopefully that will change.

 

I'm confused by your post. Bulky? The little keys are tiny, but you can use any keys you want via MIDI. The machine is really small.

I did read a full sized keyboard is being considered but nothing about a full sized desktop version, nor a small keyless version.

 

Looks like Behringer is aiming for a $29 synth.


"It has always been our dream to get a synth in every kid’s hands for them to discover the world of music. Now that we have delivered 99 and 49 USD mini and micro synths, what features would you like to see in a 29 USD synth, suitable for kids and absolute beginners and especially for less fortunate people.

Please share your ideas. Thanks so much" _ behringer via FB

 

Hopefully they make a proper version. But not bad. ​
