The All-New Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread

[Wonks]

All of the propositions by Behringer on this forum lately, have been like me walking into a pub and offering to buy everyone a drink, with an empty wallet.

That's just you going into a pub then.

Did you hear the one about me walking into a pub?

I'm still not going to buy one for reasons I've written about before and won't regurgitate but in fairness when it comes to the sound it would seem that the Andertons video was all but certainly the problem in this case.

I'd have no problem buying one myself. My Behringer count is 1 for now (got the RD-8!), but this sure will grow.

Saw the Andertons video last night, and yes, there's definitely a big mess-up somewhere at Andertons. It's quite telling that the people commenting actually jumped to the belief it's the hardware which has a problem ('bad clone!', etc...). It is quite incredible that those people at Andertons didn't even notice anything wrong in their setup and still made the video and published it as is. Even more incredible: these people want to sell you synths!

I'm having trouble, writing a balanced reply, music shops have one purpose, to sell gear, no different to clothes shops, food shops, or any other shop, that’s their primary function, to sell, if they don’t, they go out of business.
Some are more conscientious than others, some feel like they genuinely care about what you need, and have an interest in what they are selling, some are way down that scale.
Would I buy a used car from any of those people at Andertons?

[Hugh Robjohns]

They don't sell used cars...

It was a cockup, and in an ideal world it should have been spotted and dealt with promptly.

But cockups happen to all of us from time to time. What's that old adage about stones and glasshouses?

On that basis Hugh I shouldn’t really criticise our current government, but somehow ….

Anyway back to the thread, yes the video is a cockup but in the interests of balance I have to say I’ve always found Andertons extremely helpful both online and IRL since I bought my first pair of monitors there about 20 years ago.

[Jumpeyspyder]

Glad I listened to the 'synth king' demo!
Was so disappointed earlier in the week with the Andertons unveiling - just didn't sound like an oberheim!

[YashN]

I'm having trouble,

You have trouble with lots of things. I find your posts nonsensical. Stop quoting me with them.

That's their 'Full Overview' of the K2700. One of the most advanced and powerful synths ever to be put under the hands of Man. Where's the V.A.S.T. editing/programming? Where's the KDFX Section (more powerful than even their flagship KSP8 rack multi-effects) editing and programming?

I wouldn't trust them at all (I'm not in the UK so I'm not directly affected).

[Arpangel]

Yet another case of one of my posts being taken so literally.

And going by a comment form Behringer on FB the Bi-Phase is still going to be properly released but under the name Dual Phase instead.

Had the Bi-Phase (it's definitely called that!) here for a few days. It's OK. No more, no less.

I A-B-ed it with the bi-phase in my Helix. Close enough for rock'n'roll, I'd say. Makes me wonder how either would hold up against the original, but my curiosity is sated.

Yes, like the MS-101 was re-branded. There's a few bi-phase badged units out there like the ones Bax was selling.

At that price, "close enough for rock n roll" will satiate many appetites.

LM drum prototype photos have a digitakt display? No idea what to make of that.

[Drew Stephenson]

Come on Behringer, where's your BCR32?
My BCR2000 is getting increasingly sketchy.

As I understand from GS the UI designer is a contractor who has previously done UI design for Elektron.

[Arpangel]

Where’s my VCS3?

Well, the functionality matches up so I guess it’s fine to reuse it depending on the contract the contractor had with elektron.

New video from Synth King on the UB-Xa, primarily to show off what he calls the "excellent keybed and polyphonic aftertouch" rather than the raw sound.

This little piece of music showcases the superb keybed of the UB-Xa. It provides velocity sensivity and polyphonic aftertouch enabling you to play your music with extraordinary expressivity. In this split performance filter frequency, volume, LFO speed and intensity of the upper preset (in unison mode employing only one voice) is controlled by poly aftertouch. Moreover volume, VCF and VCA attack is also controlled by velocity.

The lower pad sound uses OB-8 “second page” functions such as LFO rate delay here controlling panorama position. Furthermore LFO rate is influenced by poly aftertouch as well.

This music genre beggs for delay and reverb. I´ve used two Lexicon PCM 70 connected to my main mixing desk as send effects . Everything is played life and recorded in one take without any edits or further audio processing.
Enjoy the music!

Now that's far more encouraging!

I'm dismayed by some of the horrible stereo voice panning (looking at you, Andertons!) on these videos. Apart from that (and, thankfully, it can be disabled) - it sounds very appealing to these ears.
