An Update on the Upcoming VC340 from Behringer
via Behringer off of one of the forums:
[P.S. you can find a demo of the prototype by MrFirechild here.]
"I like to discuss the status of the VC340 with you and appreciate your feedback.
As we have often explained to you, our pricing model is defined by a straightforward "bottom up" calculation, which means we multiply our manufacturing cost by a factor of approximately 3 in order to arrive at the US MAP (Minimum Advertised Price).
This will allow us to pay for our development and manufacturing cost but also enable distributors and retailers to distribute the product to you and equally pay for their staff.
In terms of the Vocoder VC340 we are struggling a bit. This is a pretty exotic synthesizer and many people told us that we're totally crazy to invest so much time and effort to bring it back to life.
People who are familiar with technology understand that this is a very complex analog product as it contains over 3,000 components of specified with very low tolerances.
While we have not decided to actually manufacture the product, I personally like to bring it back as it's such a beautiful instrument. In fact it's a synthesizer I feel very sentimental about as it was one of those synths I always wanted but could not afford when I was a kid!
Now here's where we are:
1.) If our order book covers at least 1,000 units, it would allow us to sell the VC340 for US$ MAP 999.99.
2.) If we can collect orders for more than 5,000 units, we could actually lower the price to US$ 799,99.
3.) If we cannot gather at least orders for 1,000 units, we unfortunately would have to abandon the project as we would loose too much money. In this case I have at least my own prototype:-).
Please share with us your level of interest. Thanks for your help - I truly hope we can make this happen:-)

via the seller: "Polymoog synth requiring some attention, as ever. I had this serviced around 10 years ago, it was in use regularly and fully working for 7 years or so, sounded superb. Unfortunately it's been in storage for the last 3 years and now needs servicing again.
Powers up fine and there's sound, some notes down the bottom end are not working, (dividers?), around 8 or 9 of the buttons don't seem to function anymore and the envelope doesn't seem to be working as it should. It's also missing the 2 wood effect strips from the sides, and one of the screw in feet underneath has walked. A couple of the keys are slightly raised but still function. There may be other minor issues but I'm unable to test it fully with some of the buttons not functioning.
It's by no means the usual Polymoog basket-case and should be easily repairable by the right person with the time and expertise to do it. It's a very late serial number so most of the commons issues with these had been ironed out by that time."

Published on Feb 14, 2018 DivKidVideo
"When you hear that Jason from Manhattan Analog is making a new filter you stop and take note. His MA35 [video here] and SVVCF [video here] are both fantastic so I knew this would be too. The Steiner Synthasystem VCF is gorgeous based on Nyle Steiners work with the Synthasystem and brought to life authentically in euro rack format."
