The demonstrator had zero skill showcasing the BMX.
Oh this looks so exciting and well done. Bravo B
Knock it off
Promises promises. Wheres the Polivoks we were promised. ?!? Lol
I am still waiting for Behringer’s hardware clone of the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra enclosed in a Festspielhaus.
always with the scenarios.
Ok so what are the unique features of this vs the Linn clone?
Looking at the unit and the display (I have the LmDrum), it looks like it’s pretty much the same, but with Oberheim samples on it
I suppose you could start by asking what the differences between the original Linn and DMX
I mean apart from letting you playback, sequence and mix samples, they didn’t really do much else
The real difference was in the sound
The controls actually make sense. Why yes I need dedicated tom and Conga controls on my Linn drum! Not sure why Behringer committed to that…
I’m waiting on the SP12 clone there supposed to be doing.
