Two Takes on Behringer - Which Do You Fall Under?

The following videos feature two perspectives on Behringer. I was going to skip both of them, because honestly, I'm kind of tired of the whole thing, but I figure it was worth posting for those unaware of the toatality of it. Jorb does a good job summarizing it all. Note, this will be the last post on the topic, unless something else new and stupid happens.

I do want to clarify what goes up here on MATRIXSYNTH and why. Firstly this site is about the gear, not people. People can have whatever opinions they want. Secondly, this site does factor in how people including manufacturers treat each other. I post what I want to post, and after running this site for over 18 years, I've come to appreciate those who appreciate the site and what I do. Supporting members let me know they appreciate the site by supporting the site. Banner sponsors on the top and right of the site let me know they appreciate the site by sponsoring the site.

Behringer does not support or sponsor the site, and I am aware that they pose a significant and existential threat to some of my supporters and sponsors. So, why do I sometimes feature Behringer? Because this is a synth news site and is meant to be an archive of synth gear over time. I can't just ignore that. So what do I feature? I limit Behringer posts to new product announcements, significant news, and supporting member videos and content only. I skip everything else.

As for sponsors and supporting members, I share whatever they want me to share, within reason, as a thank you for supporting the site. As for non supporting members and sponsors, I share what I want to share. Some clarity on that: when I first launched the site in 2005 I posted everything anyone sent in and everything I came across. Everything was new. YouTube launched in 2005. This was the first time we were able to see people messing with their synths, and this site was the first to cover it. Eurorack and modular was in it's infancy back then and botique manufacturers had limited exposure, mainly on forums and email lists. I remember going to NAMM and someone working for one the manufacturers asked me if I thought eurorack would take off or was just a fad. It was that new. I thought it would take off, and it did. That said, it's no longer possible to post everything that goes up as it would just become too much noise in the end. I'm sure the amount I post daily is already noise to many. So, now I post what I want to post, and yes, how a manufacturer treats others is always factored in.

That said here are the two takes on Behringer. Where do you stand?

A patch technique for layering sound // first patch with the Eowave Tempete Magnetique

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have what was my literal first patch with the Tempête Magnetique from Eowave. I really loved the Fluctuations Magnetique from Eowave and it was nice to see them build on that with the new module. While patching the filter I used a technique that I often do which is layering two sounds from a single oscillator into two filters with different modulation to get the sounds layered and dancing around each other. That technique is what we're exploring here.

BONUS EXCLUSIVES & SUPPORT //
Patreon supporters get a BONUS EXCLUSIVE PDF that outlines that exact patch showing modules and patch cable routings but more important that document also outlines the intentions, ideas and ways to expand on it. If you'd like to support and gain access to that head over to https://bit.ly/DK-patreon where you'll also gain access to exclusive videos, PDF patchbooks the DivKid Discord community and more."

Splitting Sequences with Part \ Quick Tip

Part is a module from the Impromptu collection that allows us to set a splitting point, and get a gate accordingly. You can use this, for example, to split your keyboard into two voices, playing one voice with one hand and a second voice with the other. But, it can be exciting to use for splitting sequences between multiple voices, adding variation and movement to even a simple sequence."

"Note: the red LED on button #14 on this unit doesn't light. The button itself is fully functional however, and the green LED for that button works fine. It has been priced slightly lower to reflect this.

Fully tested. Please note that the LED for Step 14 does not light up."
