  • Zach Marr is back with a collection of some amazing Behringer synthesizers. All of these are analog recreations of legendary vintage synths from manufacturers like Roland, Sequential, Korg, Moog, and ARP, at a price point that is impossible to ignore. In the contemporary analog renaissance that we are currently experiencing in the music world, Behringer is leading the way with high quality products that, when compared side by side to the originals, make a compelling case against the astronomical prices of buying the vintage originals. Check out Zach's list below, and listen to the beautiful sounds that these things create:
    5. MS-1 (sounds at 6:34)
    4. VC-340 (sounds at 12:26)
    3. RD-8 (sounds at 16:52)
    2. (4 WAY TIE!) Pro-1, K-2, Model D, and Odyssey (sounds at 21:27)
    Honorable Mentions: CRAVE, TD-3, and Neutron
    1. Deep Mind 12 (sounds at 35:06)

    I've heard the Behringer origin story before but I'm most curious about that middle bit that gets skipped over where somehow Uli went from being a college kid making things for his buddies to building a city-sized manufacturing complex in China.

      Arguably Alesis started it (or the company formally known as Alesis) with the Andromeda. That was the only new analog poly of the early 2000s. They were so ahead of the curve that it put them out of business because everyone thought that virtual analog was the future. Korg came in late with Tats at the helm of Korgs personal analog revival. Behringer is so late to the game that it’s not nearly as relevant. The fact that you can get an almost exact replica of a Minimoog from them for under $300 yet it’s not in every single studio speaks to that point. It’s nice what they’re doing but it’s kind of too little too late the analog revolution is so far along that most of us what NEW analog designs like what sequential are doing or even more what all of the eurorack manufactures are doing that’s where the real bleeding edge is right now

    I have a pile of Behringers. I think the neutron is the best of the bunch; I have all three of your also-rans. The Crave is a one-VCO and it's my choice for a quick synth track in my DAW. I think the hardest of them is the Cat, I still cant figure out how to play two oscillators a fifth apart. The TD-3 is mostly built around its sequencer and was the first I bought, realizing later that with a DAW the sequencer isn't as big a deal as it would have been before DAWs. But the TD-3 is $150. I have a 3-rack with a Model D and two neutrons waiting for me to dive in, and a Poly D.

      My friend owns a music store here in town. He told me about the DeepMind 12 because he is a Behringer dealer. Anyway one day, we got a shipment and included was the DM12. I actually got to unbox it and put it on display. This was back in 2017. The synth sat in the store for 3 years. 3 years later in 2020, I won my disability case (at this time I was no longer working for the store). I asked him if he still had it. He said definitely yes. Since I was the original one to unbox it and always enquire about it, I asked him how much would he want for it. He sold it to me, with the bag, for $499.00. AMAZING deal.

  • @rars0n
    @rars0n Před 2 lety +2

    I don't know why everyone complains about how "hard" the TB-303/TD-3 is to use. I don't think it's very hard at all. With a little bit of learning which buttons to push, step programming makes entering bass lines super easy, and going back and editing them isn't that difficult either. If you understand how the step sequencer works, and can keep that in mind while you use it, then it's not very hard to translate a 16-step pattern from your head into the TD-3. I've even done weird stuff like using 14 steps for a 7/8 beat or 10 steps for a 5/8 beat.
    I think the TD-3 is a great value, especially RIGHT NOW: there are certain ones for sale on certain websites for as low as $75, which is absolutely ridiculous! (I'm guessing these are a Black Friday deal.) You HAVE to pick one up at that price! But as great a value as it is, it's extremely limited in its sound. It basically does acid bass (extremely well), and that's it. Still, it's an interesting machine that forces you to think about music creation in a different way, and my god is it fun to tweak those knobs!
    Behringer will soon be releasing a "Modded Out" version of the TD-3, and I'll say right now that I've heard some not great things about how this might have come about, but it looks like a cool, factory-modified version of the TD-3. They are currently available for preorder at Sweetwater, but for $259, I'll either wait for a sale or mod my own TD-3. I just picked up the Odyssey, which is on sale for $399 right now just about everywhere. That's a no-brainer!

Not sure I agree about your 303/TD3 comment, I have a 303 and it's not that hard at all once you've learnt it.... and most 303 users prefer the original 303 software over upgraded cpu's that try to give you a more modern experience. The 303's programming quirkiness is part of its sound.

    I disagree about the Neutron .. It’s a semi-modular with normalized connections, so you can do all the subtractive synth basics without patching a single cable ...and what an amazingly diverse synth it is; probably more tonal variety than any other Behringer synth in its price point. It’s definitely not like the 2600, where you’re forced to patch to do the basics.

    • @AdamsBrew78
      @AdamsBrew78 Před 3 lety +6

      (addendum: it’s also a great synth to learn whether modular/eurorack is right for you. It’s very easy to start small, learning with baby steps.. Like sending the LFO or envelope out to different parameters. Neutron modulation patching is easier to learn than Deepmind, with its huge mod matrix and menu diving. It saved me from investing in an expensive eurorack setup, as I decided the semi-modulars were about as far as I wanted to go.)

      The Neutron is the only hardware synth I own. I've used a few soft-synths, but I found myself simply cruising through presets, and wanted a 'cheap' synth to teach myself how to create my own sounds.
      I'd personally like to trade the BB delay and distortion circuits for say, an actual mixer section and maybe two more attenuators, but I'm using it solely with my DAW which provides better options for delay and distortion.
      Having said that, I believe the Neutron is the real bang-for-the-buck standout in Behringer's desktop form factor selection of synths. As far as I can tell, It does everything the others in that lineup can and more.
      It's been a great knob per function instrument to learn on, and also allows for dipping a toe into the modular world.

    I love Behringer, but yes early on they didnt have the best quality products. You can see that with their plastic guitar pedals. The sounds they gave were good, but they had a habit of breaking down quickly, especially when you actually used the pedal as a stompbox. But hey, it was really cheap and it was THE stuff that allowed me to experiment with guitar effects back then.
    At a lower pricepoint you kind of get to expect some less than stellar performance, but by now, the quality they put out vs the price they ask for their products is insane in the positive sense.
    Ordinary people can now actually own a polyphonic MOOG model D synthesizer! I personally often like to bash on capitalism as a system, but at the same time get giddy about this sort of technology reaching the masses.

    As far as clones replicas go, I believe if you’re going for that 100% pure stock sound of the said instrument then that’s what you really want, go get it. because anything else is going to be a temporary fix but if you’ve got your mind made up.... so basically it comes down to beliefs, if you believe that the original is the end all be all and that’s it. Then go get it!
    With that being said I believe I have five or six Behringer synthesizers. The MS 1and DM 12. Amazing. My expectations out of the box with the MS 1 , getting a 3340 VCO... and that bang up straight across-the-board Roland‘s seminal slider interface. I have the latest firmware and the FM knob is amazing. I park it right next to the MC 202 and the SH01 a.
    I know a lot of people are very picky when it comes to synthesizers and some people they love everything. I actually sent a letter to Uli, commending him on his mission statement or unintentional outcome of putting the music creation tools at a very reasonable price into the hands of a ‘lot !’ of people. It’s more companies were like this, the world would be bombarded with music and people creating and coming together…. This is truly amazing and if I had this opportunity when I was a teenager, when I still lived at home and I didn’t have to work two jobs just to pay my rent, my life could very well have been different in a better way. However I’m extremely grateful at this point in my life to be able to have musical instruments and tools in which I can create with.
    So Behringer making clones doesn’t really bother me. It’s all about quality of the instrument does it work to the specifications as advertised, I always hope that there was a genuine effort into making something really good versus the old college try.
    However Sequential has just as many problems as Behringer. Has Korg ever made a dud? Has Roland ever made a dud? Has Yamaha ever made a dud? The answer is yes unfortunately early on in those companies histories their mistakes and correcting those mistakes by understanding what people want as a musician fundamentally and then be able to create with innovation on top of that… That’s how those companies grew into being amazing and what they are today. :-) Thank you

    Older video, it says 1 year old, but could be almost 2 years. I am guessing the 2600 wasn't out at the time. It would be a lay down mazaire. An original ARP can cost 10k+, the korg repo is 5k+, it is one of the most iconic analog synths of all time, is fun and easy to use - well easy to start using. It will make sounds that all ot the shown synths can only dream of. So to reiterate, I believe it must not have been out at the time of this video. Would it have made the list?

    No way is the neutron difficult to use. If you are scared of patching you can cover the patch bay with duct-tape and use it as a "normal" analog synth. All the modules are hard-wired. It is essentially like the k2. Or does the graphic design confuse you? I'm interested to know what it is that makes you think that mere mortals are not ready for such things.
    I agree with you about the tb03. That sequencer is a bitch to program! The Crave I'm not so sure i agree with you. Again, you dont need to use the patch bay to make sounds and the basics of the sequencer are pretty ...basic. It gets more ib-depth when you start adding ties, slides and accents but it's nothing like as esoteric as the 303. Also, you should mention that the crave is identical to the moog Mother 32, but with some added features. Even the sequencer is the same. But its like a third of the price.
    So, yeah.
    One last thing, PLEASE learn how to disable modulation sources! :)

    • @asoundlab
      @asoundlab  Před 3 lety +2

      Appreciate the feedback! I agree that they’re not difficult for someone who is not an beginner to get around the neutron. I think the behringer synths are new gateway synths for a lot of musicians whose primary instrument is something else. I made those comments with them in mind - not to say they couldn’t figure it out, just wouldn’t personally recommend them as first time synths. Also, yes, we left the modulations on a little too long on some of the demos lol.

      @PiesliceProductions Před 3 lety

      Neutron is crazy flexible with the extensive patch bay. About 80% of the time I end up using it to sculpt my sounds. I might even consider of purchasing a second unit to polychain them to duophonic synth or 4 voice paraphonic

    As much as I swore off Behringer years ago I think that it’s kind of cool that they’ve created these as a way to add some access to analogue classics at budget prices. I could see them having a place in the studio, although I know enough to not depend on Behringer gear in any live situation-been burned there way too many times. They may have addressed “quality control issues” as you fumbled through at the beginning of the video, but low price point is still achieved through cheap builds which equals lack of robustness.

    Having owned a Juno 106 and a Deepmind 12, I still have the 106. On paper it can do anything a 106 can and so much more, but hearing is believing and I found its tone harsh and brittle. I could see it as a good unit to use live so you don't risk damage to the real deal. But in the studio I don't think there's any real comparison. And I'm not a Behringer hater, I still have their Model D and love it.

    The only ones arguing if clones sound as good as the originals are the people who play them. The majority, who listen and buy music don't care if it's made on a Roland 101 or a Behringer 101. As long as the melody makes you nod your head. There is a lot of snobbism in the music gear world.

    Holy crap. This guy usually seems pretty legit, but the Pro-1 demo is the most painful thing I’ve ever watched on YT. By a lot. Either play a tune or don’t! Maybe hold a note and play with the knobs! Did he forget how totally-standard filters and oscillators work? It’s like he lost his mind and just jumped to a random knob in a different section every two seconds. I hope he’s OK. I think it might have been a stroke or aneurysm I just witnessed. Get well soon!
