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?

Let's Talk About Behringer.

SUIKO SAMURAI - featuring the Suiko ST-70 pocket synth

video by Adam Kent-Isaac

"Surf rock with a weird, vintage Japanese synthesizer called a SUIKO ST-70. There are several different versions of the Suiko synthesizer, some are more advanced and have more functions, this is the smallest version that they made. I don't have a clue what any of the buttons mean, all the labels are Japanese. I had to figure it out through trial and error. I still can't really say I understand how to use it to its full ability."

"Recently used for synth solo on the recreation of the LIFT song "Inception" by the Samurai of Prog on their 2016 double CD "Lost and Found". The CD and artwork is the recording and arranging of lost songs from top 1970's American Progressive Rock bands. Cathedral, LIFT, Quill and more.

Display has a space that does not work so some text names are missing a letter. Does not impair function in any way. Display is bright and has good contrast."

Take Me To Your Modular: Exhibit at Mountain Oasis Festival This Weekend

via The Bob Moog Foundation on Facebook

"Take Me To Your Modular: Exhibit and Samoogarai design at #MtnOasis festival this weekend! Check out the details here: http://bit.ly/17Iujwt"

"The Bob Moog Foundation is proud to present Take Me to Your Modular, an intimate exhibit of three vintage modular synthesizers from the early days of contemporary synthesis. Take Me to Your Modular will be presented for the very first time at the 2013 Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit from October 25th-27th in the Diana Wortham Theater lobby, where the Foundation will also house Dr. Bob’s Interactive Sonic Experience, a setup of theremins and synthesizers for public exploration.

Highlighted in the exhibit will be a custom built Moog modular, featuring many modules from the early 1967 R.A. Moog company, an Aries 300, and an ARP 2600. The instruments are part of a new loan from UNC-Greensboro to the Bob Moog Foundation. With each system comes a fascinating story not only about the technology, but also about the technicians and end users. The exhibit was created to inform and inspire people about some the early iterations of modular synthesis, a technology upon which much of the music at the festival is rooted.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the Foundation is offering custom t-shirt featuring an image affectionately dubbed by the artist as the Samoogarai, a samurai robot figure made completely of synthesizer elements including modules, keys, knobs, and cables. The image was originally designed by Brooklyn based John Solomine of Spike Press and was a star at the SYNTH Art Show at Moogfest 2012.

Come visit the Take Me To Your Modular exhibit from 12-6pm at the Diana Wortham Theater lobby through the Mountain Oasis weekend. After the festival, we will be posting more information about each modular synthesizer. Please check the website for updates."
