Behringer The Cat

I want to hear Urs' opinions when he gets one.

Is there a Guitar Center in Berlin?

GC, I don't think there's a GC outside of USA. There's Musikstore and Schneidersladen, though. You don't want to go into the latter one, if you value your wallet (it's Eurocrack central).

The original (which I had never heard of before) sounded quite nasty somehow:

That sounds a lot more interesting than the Behringer video. Better sound design/playing and the delay makes it hard to compare.

[AnX]

there are a few good videos about (gforce did one) that showcase it, but for me, it's an fx synth, not something I would turn to for standard musical stuff.

[EvilDragon]

Oh I'd make sweet and gnarly leads on it for sure! It's made to purr.

"Never heard a good sounding Roland snyth...". What a pop tart! LOL

Berhinger are doing god's work - Keep it up.

VST's can produce similar sounds, though, I was just playing around a bit:

Not that I have much use for such sounds...

Man Behringer is bringing hardware faster than software developers, hope this pushes them to work faster

Software developers need to code themselves.

Behringer just throw some breadcrumbs to poor chinese souls and rip the benefits.

My dog told me that.

Bet the dog taste good n bbq'd with a beer after work on fridays.

Another bullsh*t desktop module. I guess the Poly-D selling a billion pre-orders wasn't a big enough clue that more people want self-contained instruments than desktop modules. And if you're gonna do a desktop module, at least let it act as a controller too, but noooooo, can't do that!!!

[I'm exaggerating my annoyance level, but I'm not a fan of desktop modules and all indications are that keyboard units sell much better even while costing more. Also, I get that doing all-analog recreations limits what they can do with controllers without having to engineer some kind of solution to allow for MIDI CC's to be sent. Just saying, all the more reason for a keyboard instrument.]

^^^ yep ^^^ They'll clone a mini beatstep pro KB, and glue it to that desktop module, pronto.

hopefully in purple, which would look awesome with the orange crave
and coincidentally, will both then match my cape/cloak/robe.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are behringer synths made in China? I'm trying to avoid buying as much stuff as possible from China due to various reasons (HK etc.).

they are.
but that rules out pretty much any electronic equipment as most component parts come from china .

[Mik_lo]

I figured that. Just trying to boycott as much as I can.
