The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3

The original discussion was rebooted at 99 pages. The All New thread has reached 117 pages. From experience, ultra-long threads can cause the occasional hiccup with the forum software so here is the third continuation of the topic. Carry on as you were

Nah. They're going out of fashion - nobody uses them anymore

I'm still waiting for news on the DS-80, while slowly losing an internal battle that says the Hydrasynth Deluxe might be the better option...

Still waiting on the BCR32...

The three announced and very likely still coming (considering the announcements since) that I was interested in are still the Pro-800, the PolyEight (although probably a lot less interested at this point than I was 2~ years ago or whatever), and the Wave. If we actually see the Poly-800 in time for Christmas I'll be amazed, but maybe pre-orders will open on reputable sellers?

Also consider the little Pro-VS thing a must-buy if it actually works, and I like the silly little JP-8000 but would hope it has a good programming interface implemented in their app. They've certainly had time to do it.

There's a question, do they send SOS review units? On the rare occasion they release a particularly interesting new synth? The DS-80 is a big undertaking even if it is a clone.

The Hydra Deluxe is the perfect controller for a software emulation such as ME-80, or Arturia's CS-80 - or maybe the Novation Peak, which does some wonderful CS-ish things. The Hydra itself is damned good itself, anyway, and does a great analogue emulation, so may be all the CS fix you'd need.

Having experienced the 'interesting' aftertouch response of Behringer's Poly D (and having waited far too long for even an acknowledgement, let alone a fix for, the pitchbend bug - I ended up selling mine) I'm hoping that the keyboard on their DS-80 is a huge improvement, or I'll wait for the module!

Yes... my head saying all those things. I almost bought one a month ago, but wimped out at the last moment. Maybe I'll succumb to a deal at Synthfest!

+1 for the BCR32.
Also the PPG Wave 2

For me it's
Solina
UB-Xa
DS-80

I was hoping someone would take a swing!
