Behringer Euro Modules

Behringer came out with a number of cheap modules, so here we go. “Roland” and “ARP 2500” in nice TipTop enclosures. The semi-portability makes this perfect for, say, patching in bed.

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 [2021 – ]

Oh no I didn’t…? Yep, I did… Rev 4, to be exact. There it is, with its pal. I didn’t actually get two; the first one had a broken USB chip, or something, so I returned it and got another one, but not in that order. Here it is with its other pal.

Mooringer: 2020 – 2021

First time in many years I’ve bought anything new. Moog and Behringer more or less jumped me. 4 of the first and 6 of the latter plus the new ARP Odyssey meant some rearranging had to happen. I expanded the Jasper’s rack to stand partially on my desk, and crammed as many keyboards on top […]

Ibanez GSRM20B-WK [2021 – ]

I’ve been meaning to get a bass guitar for ages, just to get that wonderful *twannnnnng* sound. Let’s see where this ends up. And what is it with these guitar / bass naming conventions? I get it that if you have loads of similar products there has to be something that distinguishes them from each […]

Moog DFAM [2021 – ]

This is really far from a normal drum machine, as I’ve become to know them. Drum synth with sequencer is closer to the truth. Got to give it to the Moog guys, it’s fun to come across something that really surprises you and leaves you wondering what the hell it is all about. I’m looking […]

Moog Subharmonicon [2021 – ]

This is something that is so different from anything else ever. It will most definitely require a lot of experimentation and me wrapping my head around subharmonics instead of just the usual stuff that’s present in every other synth ever made but this one. Even if it definitely is a machine that goes “Pinnnnnngg”, it […]

Behringer MonoPoly [2021 – ]

Behringer’s version of the classic Korg synth. The original was the only one of the Older Monos that has been on my to-get list since I got into analog synths. At the time, 2004-ish, you could get a decent “antique” mono from 500€ upwards, and I remember seeing the original Mono/Polys going for somewhere between […]
