Re: The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3
I’ve been thinking about this a bit, and I have absolutely no right to criticise Behringer in any way whatsoever, among items of theirs that I own, two interfaces, two pairs of monitors, a mother keyboard, half of my modular is populated by Behringer Modules, I have a mini mixer, a volume pedal, and an FX unit, without Behringer my studio wouldn’t exist.
Baring all this in mind, I look forward to a complementary VCS3 when it finally comes out, for my ongoing unstinting loyalty, and, for giving free publicity to a company that has truly democratised the world of recording, music making, they have made things that were before unaffordable, and unattainable, to musucians worldwide
And when I do receive my VCS, I’ll willingly give it an in-depth review, that I know, will be nothing less than a glowing tribute, and long may Behringer continue to be the saviour that it is, a company that truly cares about making music affordable to everyone, even the most impoverished of musicians, we all owe a vast debt, and it’s difficult to imagine a world, now, without Behringer.

Similar for me, but it's Arturia as opposed to Behrinwhoever
Same for me, but in my case amazingly, it's all about <click>BRRRRRRR

I'm just discovering the Arturia V collection, and yes, I can see what you mean...

We were indeed rather concerned for your mental health Tony
So was I!
Elf, the V Collection is still good, but it used to be frighteningly good when it first came out, I genuinely thought that I had the instruments it was replicating, with no need to have the real thing, they were that good, especially the Moog Modular, and 2600, they were almost too rich and fruity.
Then, they changed them, and now I hardly use those things, I still use it for some things, like the Rhodes, Wurly, and organs.
Re: The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3
Anal Lab4 probably changed the sound. I have this.
Anal Lab2 is prolly the original sound which can't get these days.
Although I have an old download from when I purchased Anal Player nearly decade earlier that could still have the original sound.

Re: The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3
Interestingly, when I migrated my studio recently to Apple silicon I decided everything had to run native. So reviewing all my soft synths (what I have installed against what do I actually use) I decided just to use v collection. And although I’ve had it for years, I’m really thinking it’s first rate and I’d rather use these in a project than invest in small analog retro synths.

The only Arturia thing I use now is the JP8, the Rhodes and Wurly are just about usable, but not my first choice, Mellotron isn’t bad.

Introducing Behringer PRO-800, the worlds first analog 8-Voice poly synth that is affordable for everyone.
Delivering 8 fully analog voices with 2 VCO’s per voice, the PRO-800 faithfully delivers the amazing sound and experience of this historic synthesizer from 1982, all while introducing brand new features in a form factor that works within modern-day setups.
You need presets? We Hear You. PRO-800 delivers user memories for up to 400 sounds.
PRO-800 is also fitted with the iconic GliGli modification as standard, in addition to many of the new features that we have implemented including, the noise generator which was only ever found on the rare Japanese editions, full MIDI cc control, USB MIDI connectivity, dual polyphonic sequencer, dedicated LFO with 6 waveshapes, and VCA overdrive.
PRO800. True 8-Voice Analog Polyphony, now affordable for everyone.
Estimated Price USD $599, Shipping April 2023.
Video makes it pretty clear they're aiming at the Minilogue XD module.

Re: The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3
Something is only introduced if it's actually available, its a bit like introducing me at a party and then saying "but he won't be coming until April"
I'll keep my eyes open sometime in 2025.
All these announcements became tiresome a long time ago.

I don't recall reading why you don't continue to use the older versions if you prefer the sound of them. I run both on my computer; I've agreed before about hearing differences. When the installer changed size radically I knew something was up...
But like most software these days, V Collection is utterly fantastic and stupidly cheap. But give most people free access to a gourmet restaurant and they'll "cook" egg and chips!
(I've just been programming some really nice sounds on a $5 soft-synth.)

Top restaurants are like a lot of things, only there to show off how much money you've got, they've got nothing to do with "cooking" your tea.
A $5 soft synth, I can't argue there, I'm all for doing things as cheaply as possible.
