behringer man.. this set up would set you back around £1300 (including two keysteps and assuming the neutron is the price they say it will be) its pretty crazy the prices they are putting their hardware out for
allows people like me to experience something like this
6 Months later and now it is going to cost me about $750...and I got basically a Moog D for $240 so all that for under a grand USD when a Model D alone would be $3000 easy (and it has USB and other features!)
@@KWANTlZE Don´t do it!
@@KWANTlZE Are you still selling it?
Exactly! I always thought I was too poor to get into hardware synthesizers. But not anymore! I have a passion for good sounding synths, and now there are some that I can afford! Hell yeah!
Got the DM12, Neutron, and SH101 clone so far. Definitely getting MS20 (K2), Oddysey, 808, 2600 and maybe OSkar ...a room full of dream synths for what a single moog model d would cost. Amazing.
And now the critical laughter of Behringer has mostly been silenced and replaced with joy. This sounds great. And what an impressive synth Neutron is shaping up to be!
I always associated them with great sounding but cheaply made guitar effects...I certainly have a different view of them now. A bit split on their copycat synths, but these are fantastic!
These Friday fun things are the business, great to hear the gear used in in a more musical context, please keep them coming.
Nick, you seriously need to upgrade your Sonic Lab Bandcamp with more music. I bought everything on it and want more of your music pieces! We need an official Nick Batt album release cuz you make gorgeous sounding tones. I love your performances and would spend $£€ on more music from you.
NEOREV Yes. Please release an instrumental album of synth pieces and don’t forget to use lots of pulse width modulation!
Yes please. Some of these Friday jams, your live sets etc..
Agreed! I always prefer to watch your videos because I like your musical taste so much!
one of the reasons why I watch literally everything Nick does on sonicstate is that he's a musician not just a gearhead or tech nerd - as you can clearly hear in his tracks.
Already have the DeepMind12
Really like the way the Neutron sounds.
Awesome! these Friday Fun vids are getting better and better. And it's a very cool way of showing those synth's capabilities apart from the more technical review. Love it.
Goddammit. Seems almost impossible to make the Neutron sound bad. (I don't need another synth I don't need another synth I don't need another synth)
You need another synth 😋
Don't lie to yourself. (You need another synth You need another synth You need another synth)
Two Neutron's, Beatstep Pro, some effects Pedals, and noodle away
So, did you buy one?
Moog one moog one moog one
I remember when radio stations had program rotations where they played this style of music. I miss those days.
Not only does the Neutron look 90s, it sounds it. It's the perfect mono for ambient, psy/goa, techno etc.
I am not sure... Is that good or bad? :) Most 90s gear is dirt cheap these days. :)
yea dirt cheap ,look at the prices of an 303, 101 and other synths , really cheap hahahaha
Behringer Neutron is already a cult classic ;)
Hypnotic, ethereal sounds from the DM12, very nice!
I love my DeepMind 12 desktop as well. People were really dissing it as a clone, but it is really a seriously revised classic without the problems of a 30 year-old Juno 106. The Neutron sounds great from of the videos I have seen and 300 bucks is doable for a family guy and non-professional musician like myself!
Joseph Wright yeah neutron is doable, im in the same league with you so i might just get this. I so drool over the dm12 though, i might have to sell stuff to get it eventually
Alex Reality Yes. I had to sell stuff to scrape together money for mine. I sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay and even some scrap metal! It adds up! Clean out your closets and attic!
yeah people are pissed, cause you get a new synth, with warranty.. and much more functions and without noise for half the price of a used original... its with every remake/ clone... people are angry, but cant hear the difference.... (or they believe they can hear it..) imagine all those 303 classics, that never used a 303 :D .... like the model d... you get a real model d as a desktop/rack synth ... and its sounds like a real one and can be patched.... :) for me, i would never buy an expensive minimoog from 70s for 5k ;)
Was listening to this episode when on my break at work. It literally blew my mind away for a few minutes!
Big up for making something so nice and interesting from just two synths played live. Sweet!
This was very inspiring to me, i already had the Deepmind, Neutron and Model D, today my two keysteps arrived.... time to explore ! :-)) Thanks for the inspitration Nick !!!!!!
Been hanging out for your neutron review for ages. Looking forward to the full review!!
I swear i could listen to that all day..... mesmerizing.
I thought it was just my ears playing up, but it turns out a few listeners enjoyed that melody. Loved it!
Very nice indeed! Thank you Nick.
I'd bet when this is played to most people just in audio they'll not readily guess what synth's are used, and certainly not these two. Credit for the sound and audio output of Behringer on these ones.
the DM12 really sounds great. Totally underrated synth imo. Behringer is doing a great job these days with analogue.
How is the DM12 underrated? It's just that not everyone is willing to pay for a glorified Juno, it seems. Although it's actually close to the Jupiters feature-wise with that Unison detune.
It's capable of way more than either of those synths. You have to gimp it in the settings to make it resemble a Juno.
Pumping out some nice and fresh tunes on friday after work, really like the sound of the neutron! Can't wait for a review of this synth^^
Been waiting for you to get your hands on that Neutron for months!! Awesome sounds and can't wait to see the in depth review! :D
Behringer has been very wise to release the Neutron to big name CZcamsrs months ahead of release. Maybe it's a marketing ploy, but I don't care. They're really driving interest in this little synth like crazy. I want, I want, I want.
It's nice to back to these earlier Friday Fun jams from time to time. They always deliver. Nick shows us electronic music at some of its best, and teaches us a few lessons on how it is done.
Wow this sounds wonderful nick. I absolutely love that little neutron. Can’t wait to see the review. Also forgot how good that dm 12 sounds. So much depth and the effects...I have no money:(
I have no idea what is going on with this. Why two keysteps and is the bass line the only thing coming from the Neutron?
A keystep to control each synth. Everything done on the white keystep is the neutron and the black is the dm12. from what I’ve heard this little synth is insanely good. It’s sounds like nothing else when you get right in to it. Apparently it’s only £300 too.
300 dollars in the states, EU and UK prices aren't known yet, probably 345 euro's in NL/DE just like the Model D.
And yeah it does a whole lot more then other semi modulars between 600 and 1200 usd. There might be a more powerful semi modular synth out there for under 1500, but I haven't found it yet.
Watching the polyphony lights at the top right of the Deep Mind, it seems that it is also being used for the bass. I guess the black KS sequence is going to the DM and white KS is going to the Neutron, but that key presses on both are sending MIDI to the DM.
Well it doesnt seem to be..both the black and white one are playing the same bass sound at one point.
Uli Behringer saw this video and thought, "If it weren't for those Keysteps, all the products on the screen would be mine.. wait a minute.."
NOW Friday is truly the best day of the week.
Hey! The more I listen to this, the more I think you should gig more Nick! I mean there are floaty lovely bits, but there are bits that start to go BOOMY dance style floaty bits😉 and I know hard ware is only partly to blame😂 Im old enough to remember a certain era😉 and certain records that had soul and kinda changed my life x
Totaly stunning jam.
These synths are just amazingly awesome!
We need more Fridays in a week. Also, these video series are incredibly short for being incredibly nice.
Nice groove and explanation... they sound good together!
Ahhhh you beat me to Nick, about to spend grant on exactly this set up!!!!😂😂 Key steps are just perfect for job. Love Sonicstate! Ooo but you have confirmed they sound beautiful together ☺
Wow...so so great sounding. Thanx for the great posts and vids always...such a gem. Your a great guy Nick and keep creating, because it is very appreciated💰❤️👍
Honestly I’m glad Behringer in recent years has been pushing out impressive products at such low prices as of now, versus their track record of less then favorable items. And they’re even making modular synthesis more accessible to the public with the Model D, Neutron, and Deepmind. Props to them honestly.
They sound superb together. Fun indeed.
I'm excited for the Neutron. So much synth for so little money... and it sounds terrific. I can't wait to see/here the UXa, Pro-One, and any other clone they have out there.
That neutron looked kinda cool actually. Especially for that price! Gonna have to look more into that thing. Deep Mind is of course also pretty cool, but twice the price at my "local" store...
Just got the Neutron yesterday. What a gnarly beast it is......I love it even down to the design and color
That reverb into phaser sounds LUSH, I need to remember to do this more often
He almost said Keystep Pro near the beginning, that was 2018, Keystep Pro has only just come out in 2020.
That deep mind sound reminds me of 'Blue Room' by The Orb
Nice, thanks!
Check out Steve Hillage’s Rainbow Dome Music, if you you don’t already have it. I believe the Orb sampled it heavily.
@@josephwright5921 dude, that record is one of my favorites of all time. There’s so much going on, it’s like the tape was soaked in acid. He totally got me into synths, hillage
well noted!
Great music for a chill out on a nice festival
Great preformance Nick, thanks!
I'm so excited to get mine, but know optimistically I won't see it til June or July at the soonest.
1:04 "key step pro" , dare I say a little slip, Nick?
He's human, not robot. I always regarded him to be a very good orator.
_ musique I was highlighting the possibility of an unreleased "keystep pro" that he may know about.
PingPong85 Ah, got it!
PingPong85 Have two KeySteps, would love a Pro edition. And if so, hope they start with black or offer both at the same time.
People have been implying it for a while though, also those not that close to Arturia, just because it feels like time for a new keystep since the beatstep did get a pro version, anybody else who isn't in the loop could have made the same slip up and nobody would have batted an eye.
Sounds great Nick 😎
I would like to see you do a Friday Fun With a Novation Peak and the Behringer Model D.
I love that little Neutron's sound.
those keysteps are everywhere!
Nick brilliant as always.....really love the deepmind and the neutron demo you
can really smack down some beautiful music. I think you do a great service to
us sound designers and musicians to acquire gear that you have so carefully
reviewed. I have to say Uli has put some soul and personal love for synths
into pro level but crazy affordable to everyone instruments.
Waiting for my Neutron to ship and make those harmonically rich bass sounds
Thanks Nick
That neutron sounds so good it literally gave me chills
I got mine yesterday. I powered it up, hit a key while turning a dial....INSTANT goosebumps. The synth is beyond it's price.....
Nick, once again this was simply amazing, you are the master of the synths. What do you like more? the Neutron or the Model D?, it looks like they cost the same right now.
Behringer is the company to beat now. The Neutron can do fat bass really well too, the bass doesn't drop out when you crank the reso. I have the DM12 and Neutron and couldn't be happier with the sounds I can get out of them. I am into the New Wave and Synthwave 80s stuff, and they can both get there. Now when they release the RD-808, Pro-1, and UB-Xa… I can't think of anything else I could possibly want. And buying all three of those looks like it would be under a grand.
actually the two best synths by Behringer right there, along with the Vocoder clone. The other clones are cool too but the Neutron is completely its own synth (not a clone), awesome oscillator section. Very interesting demo
Nick, u should make some serious live performance!!
As always, a joy.
Too short! :)
Thanks for the upload.
Happy Friday 🍺 sweet tunes Nick :)
the man! but not enough pulse with nick. We’re going to have to talk about this
I disagree. There is always enough pulse with Nick!
I want the Neutron! Sounds dope.
Very nice indeed! Nice job, Nick.
Why was Nick talking so fast, was he in a hurry? And why did both synths sound so crappy? Turned out, my CZcams player was still in 1.5x speed mode. D'oh!
Good one. :)
Brilliant just keep getting better
Nick always knows his way about a bassline. :)
Very Orb esque . Love it!!
That Deepmind man... absolutely stunning. I can’t believe it’s only $599 for the desktop version and $699 for the full stand alone keyboard version.
Got my DM12 with the keyboard for $550 new with an open box. Really overdelivers in every single department I knew I wanted, has many more departments I didn’t know existed.
The deepmind kinda reminds me of the alesis andromeda. A fully loaded analog from a company noone would have suspected.
without even exploring the patch bay yet... this is gold
What a performance. Just beautiful.
Great video, always love your content, but by now I'm jonesing for somebody to use the Neutron as it was intended to be used xD
Everything sounds great here Nick. Question...all the units are midi together through a mixer and using at least two midi channels? Or is there some sort of central midi control box you route it through? Thank you and keep up the great work!
I’ve always played soft synths due to budget and space constraints, but the Neutron may very well be my first bit of analog kit. I’ve been looking at the Minilogue and the Minibrute, but this (and the price) may have me sold.
beautiful demo... many thanks 💚
Where are those green cables going? And why do you need both MIDI in and MIDI out on the DeepMind?
Lovely stuff Nick 👌
Dammit. I wasn't gonna get a Neutron. I have the Deep Mind 12D.... and here comes a video (yeah it's been over a year since posted) showing the two together......
Did you knick the Keysteps from Mylar melodies...he has a black and a white one! I have a black Beatstep Pro... think they look much sexier in black!
Oh Nick Batt
...although that gig Chris' set was a mind worm for months..I only have to think about it😂..some parts of this just sounds you found da keys to heaven..
Say da cider girl😉 oh by way got both...errr how do I do that magic??😂
That Neutron is sweet sweet little big synth! Nick, whats that app that is running on your tablet below the desk?
Midi Designer Pro, we use it to switch cameras and whatnot
thx Nick! keep up the good work!
Nice sounds! Enjoyed...
Nice one, Nick!
Cheers Nick, lovely
Sounds great.
Very good and nice Nick :)
Killer pair! Great Friday Fun for sure!!! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Always a treat thanx behringer is makin super stuff for the buck!!!!
Wish I had some of these lol
That was rather awesome.
How was he playing that bass sound on the black keystep?
Great Demo and Sound , thank you !
You weren't kidding about the low end on the Neutron....
Nice melodies!
Very nice, Nick! I want that song all by itself. Anywhere I can listen to it?
Nope sorry, just a mercurial jam
Nick Batt predicting the future at 1:04.
yes please!! more friday fun!!
goosebumps delivered, thank you
Very "Eat Static"-y. Nice.
Just one question, is divkid ever gonna get that neutron back?? If you need a further tester...look no further!😉
What is this app on You tablet? What kind of video switcher You controlling with that?
We are using Vmix a software solution that runs on a PC with capture cards
sonicstate Thanks man! I will check this out. But the app is part of this system?
Please do more of these videos
Very interesting review about this two synths - Thanks!!!! :-)
getting that neutron as soon as it's out!
Kind of weird but I would like to see Arturia and Behringer colab and create a synth.
