the latest Behringer-gate

[DGL.]

There is now this:

But we don't have a clue yet what it is, so it might be a synth or it might be X32 related, but it's supposedly 30 years in the making (30 years being how long Behringer has been in business)

I like the idea of a it being Behringer Waffle-maker!

[ManFromGlass]

Mmmm yummy.
Now would it be all digital or a hybrid?

[Folderol]

I would rather hope the waffles would be pure analogue... and available in real-time

[DGL.]

We have WI/1 now, still no idea what it is!

Adding a letter at a time. W then I. Maybe Behringer are doing their own 'version' of Windows?

Or maybe it's just a 'wind-up'.

[The Elf]

Who would have thought it? Behringer buying the Women's Institute...

[Wonks]

This will be the WI Pro.

I really hope this is a workstation with 512k of RAM and a 24-character LCD/3-button interface. With a multisampled bassoon and house piano.

Oooh and an electric guitar expansion card.

[ManFromGlass]

careful - you’re giving them good ideas

At the time of posting Thomann now have both the Crave and Pro-1 in stock, though I guess not for long.

Just checked, they're saying 1-2 weeks. That was quick.

The first of the new 'W' teasers is intriguing. This is the best image I could get from the video ... looks to me like the back of something synth-like but there's not a lot to go on. I too wondered if 'W' stands for 'Workstation' but there's no connectivity present that I can see. Maybe it's more of an Interface of some kind.

I like what they're doing generally these days with the teasers ... though hopefully they won't drag it out too long!

[The Elf]

I have a Crave on order, but I haven't had any news of dispatch as yet.

I tend to think that Behringer are teasing some kind of touch-screen mixer, but it's as intriguing as it is bloomin' irritating!

I nearly succumbed but as I already have a Moog Mother-32 I can't see it as anything other than a pure GAS purchase and I'm really getting better at that these days!

TBH I've got it as a third oscillator for my Pro-One. It will live most of its life with its output plugged into my Pro-One's audio input. It seems a pretty good price for an additional oscillator upgrade to an 80s synth!

I've really no interest at all in its sequencer - I never use on-board sequencers.

My first thought was some kind of DAW/MIDI/Synth controller.

However, it's possible it's synth related at this seems to be Uli's favourite project at the moment. 30 years in the making? What was around in 1989 that might be "re-invented"...

Behringer's first products didn't appear until 1990, and these were analog rack processors (Exciter, Gate, De-noiser etc, see SOS July 1990).

Maybe it's just something that they always wanted to make from the beginning, and have finally gotten around to..?

I need to stop paying attention to you. You're making me weaker!

... that's definitely happening

a third oscillator for my Pro-One

I used to use a Werkstatt as a 3rd VCO for a Little Phatty (via a Kenton MIDI-CV, so slightly awkward but it worked). Also made a little white noise box as the LP lacked audio noise itself. Good fun bodging these things together

If I didn't have an original I'd be all over that thing.

I'm considering the idea of a small rack with a couple of Model Ds and Pro-Ones in it that means my originals need never again leave the studio.

What times we live in...

You'll have some extra space in there as they are both quite short of a rack wide but it makes a lot of sense anyway. You could always go for 4 Eurorack 19" rackmountable 3U boats and blank off the sides or chuck in some nice modules for FX or whatever.

That or stay pure Eurorack format, go with a width of whichever of them is the widest and forego the 19" standard I guess

Indeed!

20 quid to Tiggywinkles if anyone can design me a Eurorack with a trio of Berry modules, and maybe a couple of delays and an output mixer. I've tried to come up with a suitable combo and I'm absolutely lost in it all!

[The Elf]

Whaddya know? I just had the dispatch email for the Crave. It's on its way!

I'd go with a Make Noise Echophon, or X2 Audio Damage Dub Juniors, I had the latter combination and it worked very well. As for mixers, a bog standard Doepfer A138b mixer is absolutely fine, or if you want slightly better sound get an Erogenous Tones Levit8 and you'll have lots of attenuators as a bonus, and you can use it in stereo as it can be configured as two 4 channel mixers or one 8 channel, it's a great space saver.

[The Elf]

The problem I've been hitting is finding a suitable rack, and the extra modules fitting in with the width of the Model D and Pro-One devices.

What case would fit your ideas above?
