"I thought I'd try doing video patch notes this time, instead of (or in addition to) writing them out. Hopefully this is interesting. It gets a bit long, but I cover most of the interesting things (I hope)."

Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!!!**
New ARP ODYSSEY, Nord Lead 2 & JP-8000 Synth Collection
Sample Packs COMING FEB 2018 on Reverb.com!!! :)

E-MU Audity 2000 AUDIO DEMO of Ambient Pads & Leads!
I actually made a video of me playing & knobs twisting but
it ended up very blurry so here is a virtual acid trip to make up!
This rack module synthesizer is AWESOME for the studio!
SERIOUS Motion Pads, ARPs, Drones, Bass, Leads, FX...
Super Cool DSP engine, nice filters, some would say cold...
but this was designed in the glory days of INDUSTRIAL music,
so it has a serious Hard Trance, Euro Dance, Synth-Pop,
Industrial, EBM, Soundtrack sound set. And some good old
meat & potatoes, too!! I LOVE THIS AWESOME RACK SYNTH!
It even has 1 extra slot for an expansion board! SWEET!!
2nd hand prices as of 2018 are around $225-300 USD.
I have seen them for cheaper but they don't last very long...
GET ONE WHEN ONE COMES AROUND! Blast for studios!!!
Recorded DRY into Ableton LIVE with no extra effects.

Thank you for watching!!!!"

Details, Pics, and Price of Behringer's NEUTRON Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Priced at $299

"The NEUTRON Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer by Behringer features VCO's from the legendary 3340's, but amended with new circuitry. In fact, the filter is a complete new design. Behringer calls it the Moffatt filter, named after design engineer Keith Moffatt at their Manchester Innovation center. Keith has been experimenting for years with new synth and in particular filter designs. The Moffatt filter is a great contribution to, and just one of the many innovative features you will find in the Neutron.

Features

Paraphonic synthesizer with authentic dual 3340 analog oscillators for insanely fat music creation
Pure analog signal path based on legendary VCO design to recreate classic sound performance
Semi-modular architecture with default routings requires no patching for immediate performance
Oscillator waveform control blends seamlessly between 5 shapes (tone mod, saw tooth, pulse, triangle, sine wave)
Individual pulse width / tone mod control provides ultimate sounds
Paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled
Flexible LFO with fi ve waveform shapes, MIDI clock sync, key sync and delay / fade in
Two analogue ADSR generators for modulation of VCF and VCA
Multiple stage analog delay based on legendary BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) technology
Overdrive circuit adds rich analog warmth and edge to your sounds
Noise generator dramatically expands waveform generation
36 controls and 7 buttons give you direct and real time access to all parameters

32 in / 24 out jack matrix for an incredible amount of patching options
Patchable audio-rate sample and hold with glide for added creativity
Headphone output with dedicated level control
External audio input for processing external sound sources
