We'd like to apologize to all you 80s music connoisseurs out there, Depeche Mode's sophomore album was of course 'A Broken Frame'. Patrick's late nights preparing the script and editing the video obviously caught up with him. We will send him a big bag of coffee so that this travesty of justice never happens again😄
I was saying the other day to a friend and fellow musician "I have enough synths in my studio and shouldn't buy any more as it's becoming a seriously expensive habit" ........Saw this video..... Slapped myself and said "Never say anything as Blasphemous as that again you fool!". Fantastic demo and will be purchasing at least one (possibly 2) of these little beauties' very shortly, those oscillators are SO warm that it brought back childhood memories of Alan Parson's "I Robot". Thanks for the great tunes, that was some great sequencing and real time filter tweaking.
This is Behringer at its best. Bringing back those rare pieces that us plebs could never afford or acquire otherwise. Then taking all that engineering knowledge and creating something unique like the hopefully released soon Proton. The Kobol sounds delicious and I would totally buy this AND the additional expander/utilities with a few tweaks.
A Broken Frame just happens to be my favourite DM album. Mentioning that this synth was a main part of it is too much too resist especially at that price. Keep this up and people will need to add a Behringer wing to their home.
It's been decades since I instantly fell in love with the sound of a synth based on purely the oscillators and filter, but this one has done the trick. I'm in love.
I´m very curious if they manage to recreate the massive subbass of the Polivoks. A feed most recent clones (including the excellent Erica Synths System) didn´t fully succeed in.
@@die_konkurrenz I hope so too, something tells me it might come up short just because it likely won't have the same soviet era components. I just know I'm likely to never get an original, maybe a few years a go I could have afforded one but they are way too rare to find now and when you do they are very expensive. The polivoks pro that elta made a few years back with Vladimir sounded pretty rad but alas no more of them either
Iam a very very big Fan of your Company! THANK YOU SO MUCH! For having access to such gear for normal people! Thank you so much! And **** to all those haters who are always bashing and do not give a *** about people who cannot buy a synth for 5000 €uro!
Great demo. I used to subscribe to E&MM - the magazines were our primary source of info back then! We had to pick up morsels of info here and there unlike today where an hour or so nets us more information than we can handle.
Magnifique! cocorico! 😀 the kobol sound is back in ... 2023! If there was an old analog synths to resurrect it was the kobol synths, they were as good as rare. Nice to see the expander version of the kobol, with the patch points like the original, good for peoples with other other modern modular or semi modular synths, or modules, like the neutron. Just in this video we can hear the character of the sound , it is a good come back to the 80's. Next the kobol . ... and the polykobol? 😉 It looks like it is already a succes in shop.
Brilliant and I think Jarre used RSF Kobol with the MDB Polysequencer on the Concerts in China album and that sounded amazing, so I look forward to the possibilities of this!
Nice one Behringer! I have to mention that i really appreciate the new video format, ranging from the vhs effects, history of the synths to the product itself. But man, that tune that plays over the history part is just amazing!
Thanks mate, I try my best on these videos, and I love to 'Lo Fi' things up for that vintage feel, glad you noticed :). The tune I use as the backing track for the historical parts I made with the Crave for the arpeggio and a deepmind for the subtle pads. Cheers, Pat.
Great video patrick and the music is and arp lines are on point! Maybe i missed it due to it being way past my bedtime but i assume its a monphonic synth? How does it compare to pro1 in this case? Cheers 🎉
@@AnalogFlava Hey man cheers. It is indeed a mono synth. Bare in mind this is all subjective. I'd say the character is very different to the Pro-1, has a more rounded bigger feel to the bass, can be a good thing or bad depending on the track/vibe. Kinda like a Moog, the bass can just sound huge on this and covers alot of the frequency spectrum, so can be tricky to fit in other elements. But yet it's versatile at the same time, wide pallet of sounds with the continuous wave shapes and muchos options with the patchpoints. I feel the filter is smoother than the pro 1, has a glassy feel to it, really analog vibe is the feeling I got from it and it saturates rather nicely.
Oh, well, this Kobol sounds just so nice! After getting the Pro-800 in July I did not plan on any new purchases until the 2XM, UB-Xa or maybe either the Pro-16 or the MS-5, but now I suddenly started longing for this one, not having even considered this earlier. Still on the fence regarding the ProVS mini, too. Thanks, Behringer, for making this even harder for me 😜
Bro I know, I messed that one up, it's just me doing all the music and scripting then editing the videos, it's quite a workload, somethings unfortunately slip through the net. I'll address my unforgivable mistake in part 2 ;) Cheers, Patrick.
Guys, I love you and have always followed you buying your products, I speak well of you, always! But please, when you think of good wine and above all good food, remember that you can only find it here in Italy!
Bravo. It sounds rich! Beautiful on top of it. Please keep this up! You're giving us so much to our sound pallets. And you're making history as a point in music.
Finally ... mine was shipped today (pre-ordered). Looking forward to add it to my 'collection' (Poly-D, Odyssey, MonoPoly, 2x Pro-1, 2x Pro-800, K-2, Neutron, Cat). I hope the Proton is coming soon.
A little update. Like all your reproductions, I love the sound of the Kobol. The envelopes are lightning fast, the waveforms sound fat and warm and that filter is so creamy. It has that typical French vibe (Jarre / Vangelis) but is still capable of experimental sounds (although not to the extent like a Cat, Odyssey or 2600). I just wish, you implemented the ability to save sounds / presets. The voltage controlled parameters offer that possibility.
Looking folwald to this one - sounding good. The leal dleam is the mighty PolyKobol II so I hope we get one of those one day.. pletty impossible to find a used one these days 😊
They are working on it, but it is a complex synth. I really hope that they would succeed. I like the modulation section they have done for the New polykobold. 😂
Nice one...Sounds good....If y'all would make one with an inverted keybed (black keys are white / white keys are black) I would def buy that in a heartbeat!
Is the MIDI to CV converter like the Neutron? If it has the Assign feature for aftertouch control of filter cutoff and VCA (even if hidden as a configuration parameter) that would be absolutely amazing for us wind controller players! The Neutron's converter is the best I've come across for compatibility with my Roland AE-30 wind synth. Aftertouch for breath control, _proper_ handling of legato, and no dead spot in the middle of the pitch bend ... perfect 👍👍👍👍👍
This synth sounds like a Gem. Be Great if they also do the expander 2. The only big problem with the synths modular is the lack of amounts for all this connectability. I think a little eurorack module would sort it out.
Yes, as usual when you demonstrate one of these recreations from the ancient of days I start remembering bits and pieces of music but clearly had this bit of equipment in it
Looks fucking awesome!!! Can’t wait for it, though I’ve been shaking with excitement since y’all put up a pic of that Polivoks that y’all have been working on. Way to go Behringer!

We forgive him, since his demos are pretty kick ass we'll let it go this time haha
a broken flame was the bootleg version ......that ending demo was spectaculer, think I might need to add this one to the collection
All good. Things like that happen. ❤️
Don't forget to give us the excellent Maxi-Korg monster, please!
@@dalejason It's a common saying 😉 www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3dduvx/why_is_the_phrase_sophomore_album_used_but_not/
The character of It's sound brings so much memories and joy back in time. Thank you!.. thank you! Behringer for making our dreams come true.
The character of its sound doesn't need an apostrophe! 😉
That jam at the end 🤯

I almost shelled out 5k for one
I have to admit, this sounds very cool. Well done you guys, and it's good to see the collaboration with the original designer.
Uli please start making cars and motorcycles and houses 🙏
Yes, I'll have a Behramborghini Miura please for £15k...
I just love Behringer, the way guys you managed to bring back to us legend synths to your sauce, which is much better in many cases.
great sounding synth! Now on my to be purchased list!

Addicting sounds! Looking forward for Part Two! :)
🥰 Meine güte...Auf den Kobol habe ich lange gewartet. Hoffentlich ist er auch bald verfügbar!
Hi, hast Du mitbekommen wann er verkauft wird und um wieviel?
Ab sofort und für 199 Euro...wenn Thomann nicht wieder einen Bonus beaufschlagt.@@wolfgangwiesinger9502
@@wolfgangwiesinger9502 Man kann schon vorbestellen.
It's been decades since I instantly fell in love with the sound of a synth based on purely the oscillators and filter, but this one has done the trick. I'm in love.
Man that jam at the end was really nice. I’m so stoked this one is so affordable!! I absolutely must get one…after the VS ships of course
Das ist mal wieder eine Überlegung wert! Hoch interessant!
Excellent video. This is Behringer at their best. resurrecting history and putting it in our hands. Well done, Behringer.
Never heard of it, but mon Dieu! It sounds so good! Vive la France!
Beautiful demo. Well done.
This looks and sounds great. I'm really hoping we get one of these videos for the polivoks soon.

Incroyable. ❤
Sounds so very pleasant, heavenly!
Son merveilleux!
This one is fire, I need it asap
ALLONS ENFANTS DE LA PATRIE
I freakin’ love you guys.
Awesome! I have to make some space in my rack for this
Well done Behringer!
I just hope some of the synths you've announced will be available in my country someday. So far they're merely myths...
really cool!!
Bro, it's "Broken Frame". Good job, editing crew.

That's interesting, and look at all those patch points...
It was on the original model.
It was for a modular thing with an expander 2 including à LFO, and patch between both box.
Tres bien.
Great surprise :) 👍

Nice history lesson, cool synth too!
Another one for the shopping cart. Kobol, Expanders and the Polykobol when they come out. ❤❤❤
Choon. Sounds lush!
Patrick we're stoked to have you back bro!
Cheers brutha
YOU MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE HOLY ULLI
Please make more than 800 😂
I will definitely get this when it’s released! Sounds amazing and will round out my collection nicely.
The last song is for an album! GREAT song!
When??? I love this! Love Behringer
Nice one...Sounds good....If y'all would make one with an inverted keybed (black keys are white / white keys are black) I would def buy that in a heartbeat!
Really fault in love with it!
Thank you for the choice you gave to us normies with your products!
Lovely
Ordered today ! 😀
excellent
I might have to try this and give it a place next to my Wasp and Cat next. I am still hoping for an OSCAR desktop to compliment this!
Hmmm gorgeous! But waiting for the polyphonic version.
Very nice!!!

Cuando lo tendremos en LATAM, México te ❤ behringer!!!
Oooh tempting.
Ya got me filled with chagrin 😉👌
Excellent stuff. When do we get to see the rest of the modules?
Happy!
Looks fucking awesome!!! Can’t wait for it, though I’ve been shaking with excitement since y’all put up a pic of that Polivoks that y’all have been working on. Way to go Behringer!
a broken fRame not flame
God damn this thing sounds good.
sh!t... after the PRO-800 now this. It will be hard to resist. (I think that my wife will hate you Behringer)
We love you guys! Thanks for all this magic❤
when part two ? have already preorder the synth
Sounds like the Airwolf theme will be easily recreated with this synth.
