Behringer Polyeight

Well they are at it agin. This time the KORG Polysix is the Polyeight. Polyeight

They are surely busy, that"s for sure. I prefer when they differentiate in their 'cloning'. Even more so when the inspiration is only a starting point, as in the DM12.

 

One of these days they will make one I want. I"ve my eye on how the Gigli Pro 800 turns out.

[Muad’Dib]

They have been concentrating on making clones more so then originals.

I take it, you"re not a fan of what Behringer is doing?

Yep. Just like 40 years ago, I'm not tempted. I wanted the likes an OB-Xa or Prophet 600 back then, and do so now as well - if Behringer complies that is.

Behringer made a Prophet 800, but it"s a module. As for the UB-XA? That is taking a bit longer. At least it can"t be called the OB-XA since Tom has already copyrighted that moniker. As a matter of fact so did Roland. They did however rip off Arturia with the Swing Keyboard controller which is an exact copy of the KEYSTEP. Despite Behringer denying it!

Yes, Bigli.

just buy the iPad App. It's cheaper and doesn't take up as much room.

Here's a vote for the Legacy line. If you just want the Polysix for its sound, its an easy way to get it. Stack two instances and poof, its a PolyTwelve. I had a hardware MonoPoly at one time, so its a spacey experience to see its lacks addressed in a huge way with the soft version, which includes a librarian and dual effects. A stack of four instances of that can get big easily. Its not everyone's route of choice, but it delivers.

I'm starting to lose track of Behringer's logic in cloning all those 70s and 80s synths. Now, I can understand redoing the big boys, Minimoog, 2600, CS80, Jupiter 8, OBXa.... those ones which have become so overpriced on the used market to be out of reach for most average musicians; having them (or close approximations) at a fraction of the price is wonderful. But the mid range stuff, the polys with just one oscillator, the ones that have to resort to internal chorus to sound decent? I'm wondering if there really is enough demand to sell all those different instruments.

Not to mention that of all the *big* polys that have been announced, none has really seen the light yet... I guess that the little brothers are easier to replicate. Or maybe, Mr.B is aware that when they issue the clone of a really iconic synth, everybody is going to dissect and judge every little molecule of it...

 

Btw I think that the Model D and the 2600 sound great.

They have been having some problems with getting the polyphony keyboards too work. Modules and mono and duo-phonics are easier.

The only Behringer synth I have is the Deep Mind 12. Love it!

Still waiting for a Bovachord.

Yea! I don"t see that happening!

Make it a module, slightly scaled-down controls...modern tech might enable a smaller form factor, though the entire thing was based on tubes IIRC. I'd buy one lol!
