DulceLabs.com Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 From another forum: We have 4 synthesizer development teams simultaneously working on 20 synths, drum machines etc.. We'll be creating both innovative new synths as well as reviving classics. We're all in and the teams are on fire. Exciting times! Uli Will be very interesting to see what they come up with and the affect it will have on the overall synth market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really glad to see all the old companies coming out with more and more market-satisfying products and innovation, and all the new companies as well but the question arises: Who will buy all this stuff?

I'm really glad to see all the old companies coming out with more and more market-satisfying products and innovation, and all the new companies as well but the question arises: Who will buy all this stuff? In my experience, synth owners are like gun owners: You either have 2-3 or you have a dozen plus (and keep collecting.). One interesting thing that's feeding this is the iPad synth & computer scene. Softsynths are a gateway drug to the hard(ware) stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My *personal* market is certainly oversaturated and not due to lack of interest, but due to pragmatism, born from many years of sweat and swing-and-a-miss purchases. Once I fully comprehended what *I* wanted to do, what any given toy could do took its proper place behind gauging how much it could help me ring the right bells in my *process.* I can easily grok DulceLabs' view; I simply found hardware to be the gateway to softsynths. I had my day playing live and wowing a few crowds with Moog-y solos and the like. Without that, I couldn't rock my Mac today! So. I love the mind-broadening range of players on here. Like seeing George Duke live, once with Zappa and once in a jazz trio with Stanley Clarke and Billy Cobham, each added 'input module' of experience keeps upping my game. If I was 20 now, I'd work towards a DeepMind-12 as my system's central controller. Instead, I'm giddily sitting in front of a mini-universe. My, what a difference 30 years of endless technological and musical growth can make. "You seem pretty calm about all that."

3dog Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Well said. My quest for the "right keyboard" is very similar to my wife's quest for the perfect pocket book. Difference - my instruments are not filling up the closet I had the blues so I started playing. Now everyone around me has the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think a lot of these could end up as inexpensive Eurorack modules. Uli has expressed an interest in the format - perhaps even offering Eurorack cases with common power supplies as well. It sounds like an integrated approach to the whole thing - rather than just tossing a bunch of unrelated products out there for us to sort through.

3dog Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Now there lies our problem. I just sent a message to ol' Loui and Christian to consider making keyboards so our wives would appreciate us. Wow, talk about getting off topic. While I am waiting to hear back I will Velcro my QuNexus to a pocketbook with my iPad inside. The Pockeyboard (patent pending) is born. You would have to put it over your right shoulder and Velcro it to your pant leg and play with your right hand. Warning - don't walk too fast until you practice a lot.

Synthoid Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I just sent a message to ol' Loui and Christian to consider making keyboards Perhaps they can begin by making a custom leather case for the DM12... starting at $7,000.

burningbusch Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If Behringer is planning on doing more in the eurorack space it would be great if they put out a more reasonably priced version of this. Use the DP12 keyboard and wheels. http://www.waldorf-music.info/images/kb37/KB37_complete.png Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The wonderful insanity coming out of Behringer continues. In the works, at least potentially: Oberheim OB-Xa, ARP 2600 and OSCar. Regarding the Oberheim. "We just received the first batch of our 3340 VCO chip. It is a 100% exact replica of the Curtis CEM3340 which even includes the 40 year old, 8 micron manufacturing process. It was a difficult and expensive undertaking but we are very pleased with the result as this VCO is considered one of the best sounding oscillators. We are continuing to invest in reviving other legacy Curtis and SSM semiconductors which will allow us to bring back classic synths - all in the most authentic way. We have also reissued the 3320 filter chip which should be arriving in a few months." Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
