Behringer's Synth Building Platform & New DX7 FM Synth In the Works?

The following was shared by Behringer. Sounds like modeling technology. Note the 6-Op FM algorhythm on the screen. Classic DX7.

"Some days ago we posted the image of our new synth platform. And now the baby has come alive:-) Nothing is more exciting for engineers to design a product over several months, receive the first prototype and fire it up. As you can see our platform is working perfectly and the engineers are already writing firmware for the next synths.

This will be the beginning of a super exciting series of hybrid synths, so powerful that it can run the most complex algorithms as well as several synths in parallel. The key bed here is designed around our proprietary capacitive sense technology, that is much more sensitive and playable than commercially available technology. This is one of the many reasons why we’re so excited about these innovative platforms and building blocks, as they form the foundation for our new generation of disruptive synthesis products. Perhaps in the future we can write firmware that allows you to customize these synths to your preferences.

We use very sophisticated simulation tools, that allow us to test the complete system in a virtual environment, way before the actual hardware is built. This is called “Digital Twin” engineering and we have heavily invested in this technology - all with the purpose to improve the design quality, speed up time to market and save cost. You’ll find similar technology in the aeronautics and automotive industry and our key technology partner is Siemens. “Digital Twin” simulation includes functional and mechanical, temperature, EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compliance) and Safety performance, as well as BOM (Bill Of Material) cost management. This whole process has increased efficiency of up to 600% for all our 350 global engineers."
