Behringer Brains

Un oscillatore di alta qualità per i sistemi Eurorack, molto versatile , permette di esprimere la propria creatività senza limite. Si presenta costruito con solidità e curato nei dettagli, si apprezza particolarmente il piccolo schermo /oscilloscopio che permette di monitorare la forma d'onda. I comandi ed i controlli diponibili sono vari e permettono un buon controllo del modulo. Unica nota avrei preferito delle manopole "zigrinate" ma comunque sono piacevoli al tatto e molto precise.

Well they are at it again and this time I'm glad they are ! The source code (open source ) was Plaits from MI but they added more spice to its Synthly DNA charms .I immediately hooked it up and i find its a brilliant module and has a well placed and bright Oscilloscope screen (OLED), one that I'm used to looking at on my Korg Monologue but I'm blessed with 20/20 vision , as well as the extra DNA and I really find it mesmerising just watching those peaks and troughs ' dance like the shadows from fire on the cavemans wall ,it's a serious module for all 'and I'm sure even the naysayers will warm to its charms in time. The buttons and nobs are even and well spaced the smaller gain ones under Timbre, Frequency (FM) and Morph are shallower than its bigger brothers so be prepared to pinch they feel rock solid and speak to the longevity intended as well so the quality is there, but that one gripe is all I have ,I find the rest quite novel and I could play with it all day the speech setting has me laughing for ages and I can be Hawkins whenever I feel the need to break some theoretical waveforms and bring them forth into my holographic reality and it really works hard to keep you entertained and I'm sure with the USB hookup present and face front will endulge us with many an update I'm sure and im glad Behringer went with it rather than over the 3.1mm audio interface no faffing definitely quicker I'm sure, hook it up to the Sequencer and step it up a level, lol, you can't miss seriously and I'm glad they have made it beginner friendly and sensibly low key (I expected at least one blinking LED per nob) that way you can concentrate on your waves and beats and more modules circulate the quicker our poor eurorack pockets can get a price break and pair it with a clouds patch in your kick and snare and your guaranteed to get some ambient bliss at least so what more can I say? it's a win win and companies like Korg known for their boutique Volca range need to take note (I'd love to see a eurorack version of Sample and Drum) and costs less than a night out at the arcade and cinema with your mates or if your the older ilk a night at the pub followed by takeaway vindaloo, I wish I had more space and more time but I say if it has you curious you have to buy one and don't look back Behringer are a relatively new company compared to the aforementioned Korg, Roland, Yamaha you know they are still finding their feet and I'm sure have lots more in store , checkout their Facebook page, Give your pocket a break, I can think of at least four modules I can replace or don't need to buy now I have it ,and grab one with the oscilloscope added more value for money and a worthy and welcoming addition to my rack .
Verdict :- no brainer ☆☆☆☆☆
