Now I'm thinking of picking up a couple of other Behringer modules and putting them in a nice walnut 3-module rack that won't take up much more room on my desk than the Pro-800 module itself.
I'm thinking of getting the Neutron and maybe the CAT. I could of course look this up, but are the Pro-800, Neutron, and CAT all the same width? It looks like the CAT might not be as wide.
I don't think I would get a Model D because I've never been a huge fan of the Minimoog. The lack of PWM in particular always kills me. Also, the 3-stage envelopes are a bit limiting at times. Finally, I hear there can be serious tuning issues with the Behringer Model D. If it's anything like the Moog Slim Phatty that I used to own, then no thanks. I could never keep the Phatty in tune. It took forever to warm up, then would go completely out of tune as all of my other hardware synths starting warming up my studio room. It was a nightmare.
I think I would get the CAT over the K-2 (Korg MS-20 clone) because the CAT is simpler and perhaps a little quirkier. Plus, I like the way it looks compared to the K-2. (Dumb, I know.)
I did hear that Behringer plans to release a successor (not replacement) to the Neutron called the Proton. This page shows the proposed differences between the two synths.
I think the sub-oscillators and dual filters on the Proton are probably worth waiting for. But given Behringer's track record, this could take years. Anyone with any inside knowledge of when the Proton will be released?
If you have any thoughts regarding which two additional Behringer modules I should consider, please let me know. Thanks!
