Nice track (Gol). I agree, in a stripped down setting the characteristics are more exposed, and digital synths can get boring quick.

DCO - I like them too, I just have enough of them already (MKS-70, MKS-50, JX-3P, Cheetah MS6). Might pick up the new Behringer 12 poly DCO if it's good, but that'll be enough DCO for me. Still plenty of room for VCO synths though, I've got 6-7 VCO mono synths but they are all small or racked and sound very different :)




Behringer's name is mud in audio circles. You sure you want to go there?


I'm not really a brand snob - whatever sounds good. They got a bad name for ripping off circuit designs, but there is some Behringer gear that does the job. The deepmind 12 is designed by ex-Midas/Klark Teknik engineers (Behringer bought them) and Uli has been wanting to release an analog synth for ages - I think it'll be alright, will reserve judgement.

It'll probably sound too clean and will end up buying vintage VCO synths instead though :)


Sounds more interesting for sure (I have a Midas Venice F32, and a lot of respect for the Midas engineers). My comment was mostly about Behringer's poor build quality (reputation).

Maybe just get a Jupiter 8, it'll save the hassle ;)


J8 - one day :)

For now I've been using this nifty app to join together multiple monophonic VCO synths to make a polyphonic VCO synth - http://polymer-app.com/

That's pretty cool!
