New Behringer Neptune-80 In the Works



via Behringer

"So, for years you guys have been urging us to build one of the most sought after synth. We managed to resist for a long time, but we finally gave in;-)

Here is the fully working prototype of our Neptune-80, an 8-voice polyphonic synth with original analog matrix, BBD chorus and modern user interface such as LCD Display, USB/Midi etc.

We modeled it after the best sounding 6/60 version and we absolutely love the sound.

Our product engineer Ben (a synth fanatic himself) couldn’t stop playing the Neptune, but we luckily managed to pull it out of his hands and get it in front of our camera. Sorry Ben:-)

What do you think?"

    1. Following the trend, the PolyKobol might be renamed as BudgieOrc. And that seem very apropoo.

  3. Is this Neptune-80 actually analog? It would depend on the chips. One can feel contempt for the product, the creators and the system, but nothing illegal appears to have been done after all this time. Sometimes, contempt is most aroused in those who did not think of it first.

    1. I forgot to sign the above. I don't like to post anonymously. That, I find to be contemptible.
