I hope you are as excited about the Neutron as we are

OK...I am excited!

Oh yeah, that'll work. I will make space in my studio one way or another

It's a very good price for the spec.

I will get the model D instead however looking forward to hearing more from this synth.

I feel like I should be excited about the Neutron, but I can’t see what new capabilities it brings me. Yet another semi-modular monosynth. I suppose I could get it instead of the Model D I’d been planning on, but that one at least has three oscillators. And I hate the red paint job. Of course I can already do everything this does in euro many times over. Great price though. Just not sure about this one...

So you cant do in Euro what the Model D does?
Hmmm

Fair point. I’d sort of talked myself into getting one, but it is also utterly redundant.

I am big time. Keeps the cable out of the way for realtime tweaking.

There are other ways to do that, while maintaining the relationship between controls and the jacks which are related to them. It's the one thing that bothers me about the Minibrute2. At least the Minibrute has some legending and indicates what the normalled connections are.

But hey, whatever you prefer. I certainly put up with equipment which is more confusing... Ultimately, I'm in the same boat as Deastman. I don't need or want this. But if I were in the market for such a thing, I probably wouldn't be getting the Neuron. Luckily there are lots of options out there. Just my $0.02.

For that money it can sound like a goat and still be a good deal.
Behringer will sell a shipload of those for sure.

This is an interesting topic to me as I'm an MU fan based on knob size and "room to work" issues. At first I liked the side panel approach on my M32, as it isolates the patching from the knobs enough to make Euro usable IMO. Also, it didn't take long for me to "know" the routing so that associating a patch point with a control was not an obstacle. Where it finally fell flat for me is when i tried to use it with other modular gear. It's just a mess. Much more of a mess than the standard approach of patch points on modules. So, I'm back to hating Eurorack

Ive not seen enough to know if i like it. I def like the Minibrute 2S tho. I hate modular racks, its just a mess i cant work with.I actually find them offensive!

(no, i do...) Having it neatly on one side allows me to tweak away after my mods are set up

Model D, Neutron and Minibrute 2s... what a combination!

That's one way to look at things for sure. There are not many semi-modulars or monosynths that, if you look at them as a list of features, have much that a modest modular doesn't already.

For me it's more about having a sort of "voice platform" -- MIDI in, audio out, capable of taking care of itself with or without patching it to anything else. I treat it as its own instrument rather than a collection of modules in a premade box. Almost half the time when I use my 0-Coast or Microbrute, I don't patch them to any Euro modules. Most of the rest of the time it's to add a second VCO since they both have just the one.

So it comes down to the character of the synth, which is of course highly subjective and a little difficult to determine without spending time with it... but I really like what I'm hearing of and about the Neutron so far. I love my Microbrute's character and it feels like more than the sum of its parts, and it seems like the Neutron will be that way as well.

I'm seriusly suspicious about this. Beefy synth for a incredibly low price. Waiting for proper sound demos and reviews, so far Behringer didn't show off sounds - which might mean they are simply bad.

Are you serious?
