I would try Guitar Guitar or Red Dog Music first. They've always given me first class customer service and also price match. Scan is also worth a look as most people don't realise they also do synth gear.

They're all big enough to carry stock but for some reason people flock to the shitty customer service of DV247.

It's also worth considering that $999 may actually translate to a price over �1k here.

Originally posted by Mel David It does sound very mono doesn't it? I hope its just because they used a mono cable to record. One thing I actually love about the Evolver is that it sounds stereo and even has seperate outputs for each of the four voices.

Trying to find out on the GS thread, but they usually prefer hundreds of pages of speculation than actual facts.

That's way too high. They'll never sell any at that price.

ridiculous price even though in euro it will probably be more than 999

My advice would be to not jump on the early bandwagon. Give it 6-12 months for demand to recede and hopefully the price will eventually decrease too.

There can't be too many keyboardists out there that want a poly analog. It's not a bread & butter synth. Gospel musicians won't want it.

I was joking, of course - that price is ridiculously low! I'm guessing that will put the module somewhere around $700-800? Not that it matters to me, since I'm not in the market for another synth these days, but I think they're going to have a hard time keeping up with demand.

Will listen to more demos before its available but i think i will probably nab one of these

and there I was genuinely thinking it was too high...especially since it's a Behringer and likely to break in a year.

Meh, I don't know about that. I had several Behringer units (e.g., compressors, EQs, and gates) in my PA rack back in my live band days and they were all roadworthy, were constructed solidly, and handled heavy use/abuse better than some other brands that I owned. Some of those units lasted 6-8 years of continuous work (3-5 shows/week). I also had one of their headphone distribution units and an FX unit in my home studio for several years and they also served me well. The headphone unit is the only one that ever failed on me (1 channel after 5 or so years of continuous use). The problem I had with them is that they could be noisy, so you had to be selective in how you used them. The noise levels were negligible for live band work, but they were high enough that I rarely/never used them in a recording signal chain.

Granted, that's all been rackmount gear. I have seen reports that construction quality on some of their other products (e.g., stompboxes) is pretty poor, so who knows what to expect with this synth. A few of the comments I've seen from people who have actually used the synth claim that the construction seems to be very solid. I guess we'll find out soon.

Behringer stuff doesn't just break down, it's a myth. The complaint about it is that it's always been sonically second rate compared to stuff costing 10 or 100 times more.

Well, duh.

Even that's not true any more.

Looks like there is oscillator stereo spread too, although I'm not sure why the parameter isn't in the VCO section!

Best hardware synth mod matrix ever?

I think it might be.

Stereo unison spread at about 19.00

Okay getting more interesting. What I want to know now is the internal MIDI resolution of control change messages. If it only has a range of 0-127 then you will still get zipper-noise despite this being an analog synth.

cool vid

yeah mod matrix looks really full, like almost every parameter can be modulated
packed full of FX as well which can be handy

like the way he said it was easy to program, thats a must for me

wonderful sound from the arp at 10:52

I haven't watched the video yet, but it appears that the Edit button is used to access the various destinations that the VCA (source) slider can modulate? If so, it would appear that Pan Spread is a separate parameter that's hidden somewhere else?

Yes it is shown in the video in one of the VCA options (at least I think it was).

I'm impressed at how clear and easy to use the screen is. It looks like they've really nailed that aspect of the workflow.

You wait until you see the mod matrix too. It's just like a plugin (which is good!)

I didnt see any mention of FM anywhere at all but i guess thats being a bit greedy

I'm not sure, but I don't think it'd be too hard to implement with an update as you could use the DCO2 tone mod slider.

hopefully, nice for experimental sheeit

Finally watched the last vid. Goddammit, Behringer. My GAS was in remission, but now it's coming back. Assholes.

Matrixbrute looks way cooler

And so far the funniest thing is that there hasn't been a single good sound demo

yeah sounding nice

cant wait till the musictrackjp guy gets his hands on one - in fact Behringer should have shipped one over to him, love his demos

Definitely excited now.

I think this is probably the first synth since the Virus where the FX engine is going to be so integral to the overall character of the finished sound, although I'm not sold on that reverb in this demo at least. I know there are a few models in there though.

Basic tone sounds good. It's not top end (Micromac, OB6) good, but it's closer to them than it is to stuff like the Minilogue or BS2 etc.

Sound design wet dream, the mod matrix.....fook!
