    1. OK I’ll feed the troll. Third word of the post is the link to the device on their website. It was published that way. Gotta love that weird anti-logic re politics too. That was all you bud, all you.

  4. I hear an interesting amount of nothing about this. If anyone else offered such impressive specs for that price, crowds would be lining up and yelling “TAKE MY MONEY!” The X32 and others get good press from users. Maybe this will be one of their wins, even where a lot of us are dubious about their synths.

    2. The reality is that Behringer sells a ton of synths, despite the manufactured hatred from a small niche of brand loyal fanboys. They sell like hot cakes, and as far as I can tell most people who buy them are very much satisfied with their purchase. The criticisms I read are rarely about the build quality or performance of these instruments (I’m struggling to think if I’ve seen any that complain about the actual instruments), and mostly come from people who reject the company out of principle for external reasons not relevant to customers. By all accounts, Behringer delivers synths that work well, and are good value for the price you pay.

      I’ve never bought a Behringer synth btw, and I’m not a poor struggling Roland Corp. CEO deprived of my well-deserved return on R&D investment in the SH-5, so I have no horse in either race. But I just wanted to post this here as a reminder that this whole anti-Behringer thing is something that only exists in small corners of the internet where men get worked up about things that the wider public couldn’t care less about, because it doesn’t concern them or their user experience at all.

      1. Thanks for sharing your off-topic rant.

        Just because you’re happy with a cheaply made synth, though, doesn’t meant that everybody else is an idiot for wanting more.

        I’ve got about 6 Behringer synths, and they’re all OK for what they cost. But none are ‘great’ synths.

        And Behringer has released zero synths that do anything innovative. Their innovation is in making cheap copies. Other companies are doing new and unique things that are a lot more interesting.
