Sure they can make similar sound or perhaps sound identical but a synth is not something static, the sound itself comes by playing with those pots. I couldn't get pleasant results with Behringer synth, it's possible just uncomfortable. Sometimes you find your Attack change a lot from 0 to 2 and almost nothing 3 to 10. Some weird choice on making VCA linear instead of exponential. Weird waveform gainstage. I mean these people don't even know that they should lower the square because it's the hottest,you can't switch waveform without crazy change in volume.
Yeah you go a synth that sounds like iconic synth but you can't play as the original unit but even worse you can't play it like another synth. Korg for example has nice calibration for their pots. Behringer just put heavy pots to give you the professional feeling.
Dude, I’ve never experienced any of the things you’ve described. All of my Behringer synths are very playable.
In fact, I was introduced to Behringer synths by working with legendary Seattle keyboardist Joe Doria who showed me during a studio session for a band I produce called the 7s that his Model D sounds just like his Minimoog.
Joe has a massive collection of classic synths and keyboards and he takes his Behringer synths out on the road with him.
Noel Brass Jr. of Afrocop which is another band I’m producing is also using Behringer synths at his live shows and Noel was mad skeptical at first because he used work at Guitar Center but he loves his Behringer synths. Probably more than I love mine.
I work with my Behringer synths every day in my home studio and never had any sort of problems with them, they just work as they should.
When I create a patch, I log it in my blank PDF file, print it out and insert it in my patch binder.
But hey, Moot Bootle who’s a very dope musician as you can see and hear is using the Behringer Odyssey and Poly D is having no issues jamming with his Behringer synths.
Luke Neptune, another dope musician shows you how dope the Model D is using a Moog as a MIDI controller...
JD73 who’s a seriously nice keyboardist is jamming out on the Behringer Odyssey.
Snolan1990 is doing a lead with the Behringer Model D
You just mentioned the Model D and Odissey. Do you ever see how much Model D drift? On gearslutz a guy post how much the tune drift in 30 minutes, I never saw a synfh drift so much.
I'm not saying they sound bad, they simply don't give you the feeling of a well calibrated synth.
Like with the Attenuator on Crave/Neutron I can do vibrato but it's a nightmare set the attenuator pot where you want it, with other synth you have much more fine control. Like I love to play with the decay of a filter envelope, Behringer synth are the only one who I can't have a natural approach I always have to limit myself in the range imposed by them, which is fine if it wasn't completely weird.
It doesn't matter who use what, people make awesome things on a 303. Speaking of the 303 I don't like the autoping filter, you might say that's its behaviour, I say I ping my filter when I want no when the synth decide. We're using synth to make sound no to accept any noise the synth make as the other guy said. Why use a synth if it doesn't what you want? At this point why not a VST with tons of presents if you accept any noise coming from your synth?
