Damn it B, why?

[ghettosynth]

Yeah, apparently the BX1 is 'close' but no idea what that means

A souped up dx with a cs80/jp8? filter seems a weird concoction to me. No idea what the thinking behind that is..

Now, that, if the keybed is decent, the product is cheap, and the programming is fairly decent, I might be onboard. I absolutely would love a DX machine driving those filters, IF, they have per voice filter modulation.

Same here.
Love the 80s look of that synth and it is great that it has CS80 filters onboard and i prefer to have Filters on a FM synth so i don't have to use up operators to make a fake filter.

[Seafire Mk2]

Yeah, but it's fuckin huge!

It is, I forgot about this video. I dunno, I still like it.

Not impossible tho.

If a clone of a vintage synth that cost under 200 lasts 10 years, nobody is gonna complain. Just buy another one!

Probably as expensive to fix as to replace. Your second point is true, though, and it certainly isn’t stopping me from buying their synths. I just think Sequential deserves credit for their user friendly production methods.

The WASP Deluxe Behringer did was miles of better quality than the original though. The original was almost in cardboard box territory.

One of B’s best, IMO.

It looks expensive, especially if they do polyphonic filters.

Cheap here is relative. The keybed is the primary filter, cost secondary, size tertiary. That U/I is not bad for hardware FM programming. I got really fast with the one knob DX series. One hand on the control, the other free to select the button. It's not good for real time control of the FM, but I prefer it to gigantic knob per function FM panels.

I'll consider the majority of synths Behringer make, FFS I even got a UBXa and I don't even really like Obies, especially the OBXa. But the BX1 seems more like a synth made only for the sake of nostalgia. Do I want to go back to fiddling around on those truly awful button-led GUIs that plagued the 80/90s? f**k no. And there a quite a few FM options nowadays that are way easier to use IMO. I admit to some nostalgia for FM...still use my old DX100 but even that cut down DX is up there with the all time worst ever synths to actually program. There are better uses for CS80 filters...like on some kind of Yamaha CS emu maybe .

Actually, I don't want a CS80 but I'd love Behringer to make BS30 or BS40...

...and a BS range would give the Behringer haters a free hit

I disagree. The advantage of the DX interface is the knob per button and the single control. I have more FM than you can shake a stick at, but I still like this. CS filters on DX pads is exactly what I need. Now, there are, in fact, absolutely not "quite a few FM options" that are polyphonic, have complex FM, and also have true per voice analog filters on the output path. There are plenty of software synths that have this, and more. That's not what I want.

I suspect you're not going to get what you want...

Zero interest here, but this is the latest

I wonder how stable the tuning will be on that tiny box.
The module/desktop version is very unstable and how can you retune it if it needs re-calibration as often as the Module does.

Not so interested in these tiny fisher price toys with 1 tweakable Oscillator and i feel the same way with the bigger gimped Producer series products.

Their Desktop modules and the Keyboard versions is the best Products from them so i don't understand why they have to sink this low by giving us these fillers instead of focusing of making the good stuff

The Mini has MIDI CC control. The big one doesn’t.
