Radagast Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Considering they so many concepts that haven"t made it to the market yet, who knows when we would see this. Sounds interesting though. At least it isn"t a clone, and it would have polyphonic aftertouch. The only addition I would want is a third VCO per voice. https://www.gearnews.com/positron-16-concept-morphing-analog-polyphonic-synthesizer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieP_MechE Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 This is not an official Behringer design, FYI - https://heinakroon.net/positron-16/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 At first blush, it seems to take aim at the Arturia Polybrute style which is also described as a morphing synthesizer and features dual filters. Are there other synths we should compare it to? While I like the Moffat filter, I have not been a fan of the Curtis 3320 filter. (YMMV) I generally prefer to see a state-variable or ladder. Then again, the proposed Moffat and Curtis filters are multimode while the ladder in the Polybrute is LP. Perhaps they will have a broader timbral range?

Perhaps the 3rd VCO could be of a different type. Digital/wavetable could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Korg Prologue doesn"t have aftertouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This kind of synth seems beyond Behringer's usual remit, but also beyond that of most manufacturers. Its a real beauty overall, but its not far from the legendary Bahn Sage. Its the synth version of the Homer Simpson dream car, bulging with Everything At Once. It'd be a $3k boutique prize like a UDO Super 6. Photoshop + weed = Positron 16 render.
