This weeks Behringer synth announcement

[Joost Schuttelaar]

Yeah, on the one hand I really appreciate that they’re making classic designs accessible. But certain things from the 80ies/90ies are not really worth copying, like how Jay describes pocket calculator interfaces and ‘modes’.

Or this really constricted modulation source/dest thing from the Pro-1. It’s just artificially limiting and detracts from the usability of the synth.

On the other hand, I really appreciate the Poly-D, which copies the very nice, well thought out Minimoog interface, and adds some nifty (musical) additions/improvements.

Cheers,

I'm not even a Behringer hater, I just wish they would bother to get it right and not be so hide bound by insisting on keeping bad design features that don't make any sense  - like reissuing the Moog Series 55 with s-trig.
