You might recall, the original targeted price for the upcoming Behringer D was $400.
Pre-orders are now available for $299 with a target ship date of September. The new price may, or may not be a reaction to Roland's new SE-02. The MSRP for the SE-02 is said to be $499. This make the Behringer D $200 less. Of course the feature set is slightly different. The SE-02 adds patch storage and a sequencer.
