    I still don't get why Tone2's VSTis are too underrated.

    You're giving him too much credit, the website is behaving precisely like a Behringer product.

    First: free shit, yay! Not yet to try it but will do... it's not like there's a zillion of these synths around, nothing pops out as especially unique. But it's a Beer-ringer software makes it a curiosity.

    Ok, I'm not a synth designer nor a synth designer, but something about this feels like a big missed opportunity. Imagine if Uli had commissioned a synth that was 1-to-1 to one of their existing synths (or close enough in sound) and the hardware would function as a controller. You know, to announce something great and perhaps to raise interest in their synths.

    Dunno.

    It seems like their website is emulating their hardware versions. Looks right, sounds good, and breaks with the first serious use.

    They even deleted the original page. They are probably working on the MK2 version now.

    Another plastic crap from Tone2, what do you expect from this? Tone2 has always created the most terrible-sounding synthesizers that no one knows who might like. What the fuck "analog" at this?

    Just FYI. Uli stepped down a while back. He's no longer the face of Behringer nor working with the gear/synths ect, directly. He's just doing the CEO thing, planing the future of the Music Tribe, ect. In other words, the business end.

    Interestingly, I noticed Behringer did not advertised, announce, nor mentioned this plugin on their Facebook page. The only reason I know about it is because of gearnews, synthanatomy, and the like. I'm wondering if they even meant for this to get out? A while back Bitwig made a page for upcoming release, someone found it and people started downloading incomplete software they were not ready to release, so they shut down the page. IDK, this is just not how Behringer does things in my experience and now I see the page is gone. Guess we will find out.

    A while back they said they were writing code into the synths and whatnot that would interact with their free DAW and upcoming plugins. I'm curious to see if that ever happens.

    There seems to be nothing special with that synth. And that is a good thing. A synth is a synth is a synth is a synth ... like it should be.

    I'm glad behringer is trying out something new, the more competition - the better.

    That said (and I know I'll get hate for this) I'll never use anything that has Uli's presence, because he hates my kind (and usually I don't care about that stuff, I just view him as overly petty).

    I think they are more hated than underrated, as Gladiator in particular has a lot of praise and fans. They are hated because of the invasive malware-esque protections they used to use (not sure if they still do as I stopped using them, even the freebie Computer Music Icarus version?!).

    they all have a distinct sound that they all share along with the fx vst, while the gui is just a shinier rob papen vst
    their preset third party packs a weirdly niche geared at the rap market.

    firebird was good but basically abandoned .
    warmverb was also abandoned .

    you could just get nemesis and not really bother getting electra .
    also serum fx, serum ,massive , vital , phaseplant are subjectively better along with a few free vst.

    tone2 synths do have good arpeggiating , do really good fake chiptune sounds , with more work you can do u-he level seq patches,

    gladiator ive found does do super saw really well

    Judging by the few demonstrations I listened to on Youtube the sound is quite underwhelming. I was looking forward for a more vintage sound, as the name suggests. The visual layout, whether inspired by existing products or not, is not too bad in my opinion, but the oscillators and filters seem to sound overly digital, reminiscent of DSP code from the early years of VSTs.

    they have all the same engine (unique), but they all sound the same, plus Markus has malicious code parts in the installer, to scan users computer, change host-file (adding warez pages), removing and dropping files, he put out a bounty for H2O users on the kvraudio forum to deanom them, etc. In the result warez/scene groups started mocking him and also users/costumers.
    And till today if a Tone2 plugin is posted, the mocking continues, so is his reputation damaged.

    i for my part like Gladiator 2 a lot, i didnt buy, since there was never a legit clean version without the malicious code released.

    thats something older users never forget!

    on topic:

    Did they really pull the synth from the page?
    i still have the installers, but the synth relys on webauth, so sharing one license, doesnt work. we need someone to patch or remove the license check unmute the plugin.
    judging from the comments, only the KIA synth was worse?!

    we will see if they put it up again, maybe they needed to handle the server load different and pulled the synth? or the webauth is revised? We will see.

    I saw tone2 is pissed off with the GUI of this Vintage synth .. they assumed Behringer stole their GUI.

    What I like from Behringer is their analog synths.. Good demo sounds, want to buy a couple of cheap ones...
    But other from them is shit.
    Mics are shits
    Shitty mixer are shit.
    Audio interfaces are shit.
    Monitors are shit.
    Now their sites and getting license is shit too.
    Everything is shit from them...

    Now I am thinking about analog synths... Afraid of.... What if they will be broken after some time of use.. Faders, knobs might getting noisier, etc... Because even more expensive stuff gets broken, damaged, etc .. But here is Behringer.... Like all my old and new shit.... Virus c, audient id14mk2, Samson mixer, m audio interface.... All dies

    My midi keyboard behringer umx49 behaves too weird... One note doesn't work, faders, wheels might send to vst some changes in values.... That is why I re-edit after midi-recording....

    What do you about analog synths by behringer?

    Yes... This VSTi will not die... This is a software digital plugin... And sound yes... VINTAGE.... 00ish...softy...

    Thank y'all for the profound explanations. Yeah, I had no idea about the unfortunate history of Tone2. Now it is much clear to me.

    I already found the following link to get an idea about the things happened back in the day . https://audiosex.pro/threads/tone2-dev-apologizes-for-past-business-practices.53536/
