Aww comr one. The DFAM and M32 are now nearly legacy products with a well-established user base. Different midi connectivity come on behringer. B-word can get excited when they release new products. I like the pink paint, Bubharmonicon next? That you can still get in music shops worldwide. If this is okay for you, simply click on "Alrighty!" Yes, I know the quality isnt as good and the resale value is virtually non existent, but I dont care. Its too bad, because those were the most interesting synths theyve done. Its about killing the innovation. Behringer is the Amazon of Music gear. Point is to make something that is generally usable by many people. Moog may still be innovative in your hearts but legally all their patents are from the early seventies and have expired. Thats a good addition. Behringer announces products way before they're ready for mass production. Especially if music is a hobby rather than a source of income. Many famous musicians use Behringer equipment amongst them the following Andre Berry, Gary Novak, Blake Lewis, Michael Ripoll, Gannin Arnold and Allen Hinds. Does the Behringer Edge really have MIDI? Seems reasonably comprehensive to me for an analogue synth. You did highlight the reason people buy the Chinese-made copies, though. And that wasnt clear enough, so there are video demos of the calibration process that are a half hour long that have tens of thousands of views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrZdzyMyr6I. Its not really something you absolutely need for any kind of music so just dont get it if you cant afford it, or save up. The Edge is a semi-modular percussion synth. Some mild-ish venom at Behringer, but a bit of a headscratcher when talking about companies/brand loyalty and so on. And I doubt the various parameters would be able to be CC controlled. Our Professional Behringer defender. Moog has well under 100 employees and is employee-owned; not a big company. That said I am very seriously thinking of investing in a Grandmother! The main office of the company is in Penang (MY). Behringer making the Crave affordable to me gave me the opportunity to decide if I wanted to dive into the synth world. You all have it backwards. Amazon is a lot worse from factories, unionization, employee attrition, product monopolies, ripping off third party sellers, Alexa, etc. Its clearly not so Ill say lets keep attacking Behringer with a passion. The Moog one probably wont, Behringer have to cut corners to bring the price down, economy of scale and owning your factory isnt enough. I fucking love Moog, but Im a poor working class person. Edge is a semi-modular analog percussion Synthesizer that is based on the concept of the Moog DFAM (Drum From Another Mother) from 2018. Again is up to your heart whether you want to pay a lot for ancient tech. The industry existed before their synth division did. Not sure that the guitar market is a great example to follow, but anyway, same architecture, same concept , same patchbay.not a clone but a serious lack of inspiration and respect , just as the crave. I greatly appreciate companies releasing affordable, budget hardware, but theres tons of cheap kit that isnt a cheap chinese knockoff of a currently made product. The RD-9 ended up being fairly original for a 909 knockoff, so Id give them credit for that, too. Theyre very cheap. Behringer mass produced IP synths, sued a couple people and wrote a bit of nonsense online. It doesnt stay in one place. Now lets just see where those who vigerously complain about Behringer ripping off small family companies buy their next furniture, their next car, their next clothes? This is the same thing they did with the Mother-32. Unlike the Moog DFAM, Behringer has expanded it with MIDI and USB including MIDI clock and a clock divider/multiplier. we want to make music on a classic analogue synth but cant afford the real deal. Its like watching Fox news! The DFAM is currently the most popular sound module at Thomann. Mutable Plaits is the most popular eurorack oscillator at Thomann. I bought my Mother-32 used off a working class musician for $400. If you believe what Behringer is doing is fundamentally bad and damaging, go study the fashion industry to realize how this economic dance actually works. Looks like they are expecting delivery on February 28th. rip off the subharmonicon and call it lord. dont fail me. Two Moog Mother 32s and a DFAM. In this case, it looks like the Edge is just supporting MIDI clock to run the sequencer, vs an actual MIDI implementation or even MIDI sync. Surely that what its all about? Both oscillators are triggered by a dual 8-step sequencer, one for the pitch and another for the velocity. Its about the patents. Is it because putting the patch points on the right side would have crossed a line of copying Moogs design too closely? This comment would make sense IF there were NOT R&D expenses from the moog side. Behringer specializes in cheap knockoffs. I think with the knockoffs, the reality is that if it fails youll have to throw it in the trash. Behringer isnt the savior of music, theyre just a corporation that makes their money mass producing cheap gear for hobbyists. Certainly nothing good/healthy. Its almost as if Behringer chooses which products to copy based on their popularity on the site. It will probably be at least a year before Sweetwater, or Amazon (the 2 US-based Mega-dealers for Behringer) even have this in stock. It doesnt look the same. Starsky Carr did a great video demoing how closely Behringer copied the Mother-32 with the Crave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JexfJSNVQmM. Behringer copies it almost totally only three years later, dont they realize this kind of thing eventually kills innovation? DFAM: onions, garlic and ginger (all fresh and hand selected for quality) prepared by a great chef and served to you immediately. Since the concept, feature set, parameters, sequencers, etc are the same, we can speak of a DFAM clone here. it isn't bright pink though, you'll know when you see it. And its not about ruining for all the people. They are parasites. bad move on Behris part! How is this a knockoff? None of this about guitars Gibson even clone their own designs and rebrand as epiphone The Edge is a direct copy of the DFAM, in Crave form factor. Pink noise Im also not sure the fashion industry should be looked to as a model for anything. I guess DFAM is exactly that, Wow look up clone in the dictionary Behringer continues to revive vintage synthesizers. It has two analog VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync, and FM options. What was once elitist is now in the hands of many. It will be so cheap to make that they give it away free and call it the Pro Bono. You just said you paid $400. Behringer always says that their synths have a comprehensive MIDI implementation, but this generally means that they support note on and note off. It was definitely enough to raise the bar on my next purchase decision with them. Im all for Behringer copying out of production synths and designing their own takes like the Deepmind but Im not alright with them cloning a synth currently in production by the original manufacture. Simply ridiculous. 2004-2022 Synthtopia, All Rights Reserved, Behringer Intros Hot Pink DFAM Knockoff, The Edge, AVP Synth ADS-7 mk2 Analog Drum Synthesizer Hands-On Demo, Oberheim OB-X8, 'An Amazing-Sounding Instrument', Now Shipping, A Complete Guide To The Behringer TD-3 Bassline Synthesizer, Learn Subtractive Synthesis With The Moog Mavis, Global Chip Shortage Takes Another Victim, The Bastl Thyme Effects Processor, Spitfire Audio Releases Originals Epic Choir, Featuring The Sound Of A 50 Voice Vocal Ensemble, New Magazine From Australia, Modul8, Features '56 Pages Of Utter Synth Geekery', 'Switched On: Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution', A New Biography, Now Available To Pre-Order, IK Multimedia AI Machine Modeling Uses Neural Networks To Recreate Your Hardware Rig. Will it respond to MIDI note numbers in a standard chromatic fashion like most other mono synth modules? I own a crave, but just because I have already a matriarch, a dfam, a subharmonicon, a minitaur and a mother 32 Thats my way of supporting moog. Many of their designs are unaffordable for normal people, but extensive research and craftsmanship have gone into their designs. Behringer is your typical dealer that tries to sell junk to junkies. and gave up on developing original synths completely after the Neutron bombed. Im glad youve had a good experience with Moog, Im sure others have as well. I just dont buy them. I bought a DFAM used and it didnt have a manual and so I contacted them about buying one. Synced lfo or slow envelope). Keep cloning. Here its a different story. Like its inspiration, it features dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM, to let you create a variety of percussive sounds. Your email address will not be published. I think its a great strategy, a service to the community and not really damaging anyone (cause we are talking about synth that original manufacturer are not interested in making anymore). Still vapour ware, or have I missed a UK release date for this? Behringer products may well have deserved some criticism for being built down to a price instead of up to a specification, but their little Model D clone has allowed me to have a little box that I can use to play very nearly exactly the same sounds as a real 1970s Model D makes and that gives me a great deal of joy. If Behringer would just make a little effort and add/change a few features, it would not be so cringey. I get the resale value is higher and the Moog is higher, and if you buy second hand you may even sell it for a bit more. Something the DFAM isn't natively able to do unless you resort to weird tricks. I am sure there are many thousands like me. SYNTH ANATOMY uses affiliation & partner programs (big red buttons) to finance a part of the activity. i dont rly get the move to knock off the DFAM, mostly because the DFAM sounds straight up dogshit. Behringer Edge will be available for $219 USD (list price). Details on availability are to be announced. Within the last month more than 4 million product pages of the manufacturer have been hit in our Online Store. Yawn. Behringer products belong to the most visited ones on our website. What theyre doing is lowering the barrier for the hobbyist that wants a collection of synths, by making commodity instruments just like you can get a Les Paul for $150. Wrap the pitch sequencer through quantizers to pitch the DFAM/Edge, add pitch modulation with another B960. Its such a clusterf*** that Behringer had to make a video explaining it. I cant afford lots of things (including synths, really, despite my ridiculous pile of them). I dont understand why Behringer didnt make these Euro compatible, like the originals? I was my gateway drug into synths and music production. What will be the use for selectable MIDI channels on the Edge? If they made an subharmoniconn, okay, but a DFAM, while it sounds great, is like i said just a prewired patch in a box. A copy of the Subharmonicon would have been more interesting for me (but not in this awful color!). Please vote with your wallet. Someones just got to complain about everything. Also, expect the $219 price to go up quickly after it starts shipping due to the on-going chip shortage. For a better experience on Gearnews, we recommend JavaScript to be enabled. Thats what people want from them a cheap Minimoog, a cheap DFAM, a cheap Prophet, etc and theyre good at it because theyve been making cheap knockoffs of mixers, pedals, monitors, etc for 30 years. If Behringer hadnt made their Model D available at the price it is, I wouldnt have that joy. I dont see that as a bad thing (other than some of Behringers sleazy business practices). I work in pro audio and ~50% of Behringer gear always breaks in a couple of years.

Good. But copying stuff that is brand new (2-4 years) and still under production, thats a totally different thing. Behringer did the exact same thing here. I suspect neither market steals much from the other, but those who start with a cheapo clone may well be tempted to buy the big shiny one with the right logo on it when they can afford it. So he got a great value with it, and its definitely worth $400 to me. I would and will buy this. I suspect this BFAM will only do what it said it would do on box and exactly nothing more. I cant wait to get this to go along side it. Clones of recent design current production synths are a whole-nuther discussion admittedly, but I think there are two overlapping markets here those who will buy a cheap clone and love it and who couldnt afford the real thing, and those who wouldnt touch a clone and are lucky enough to have the spare cash (or can justify the credit) to buy the big brand name. Id prefer to see comments and information about the device itself and its capabilities and how people would consider using them, etc not all this polarised bile yet again! I loved it and then bought better products from more reputable manufacturers. The B960 is fun with a DFAM/Edge. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Im gonna check it out because the price is unbeatable. I would not believe for a single second, that they act the same way when it comes to cars, furniture and even food. I never heard of the Moog DFAM. When you buy products through links across our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. You can program each sequencer with 8 knobs and select whether the oscillator responds to pitch or not.On the top, you have a 1510 matrix where you can patch your sounds or integrate them into any Eurorack synth setup. Contacted support again, nothing again. Gimme one good reason why their scames should be allowed to the market in the first place? But for some professionals, the investment goes beyond the self-interests of the user. Which makes it on-brand for Behringer, I guess. Everything is a clone or derivative of something else. Behringer today introduced what appears to be a close knockoff of the Moog DFAM, the Edge. Its not like the DFAM is a generic design from 40 years ago. This includes, for example, suitable offers and remembering preferences. You dont directly support Moog, when you buy Moog synthesizers 2nd hand. Its a solid synth and I bought one off a musician/restaurant worker, so its obviously a synth thats well within reach of just about anybody. I get copying long gone analog synths of the past, but this is just next-level douchebaggery. Just placed my pre-order with Thomann. Theres pink and white noise, a decay envelope, a filter with high and low pass modes, and its own Decay and Envelope amount. When you buy dfam, you are not just paying for the raw material, components and assembly cost. BFAM after the the why even Bother 32 , Missed Opportunity to add something (like pattern sequencer with save slots!) Different design Different voice chips here We also offer our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for Behringer products, a 3-year warranty, and many additional services such as qualified product specialists, an on-site service department and much more. I dont doubt that. What the actual f***? No information about the availability and pre-order option. The elite cant exist without the affordable masses. They abandoned Deepmind development (3D patch editor anyone?) And everyday, there are similar designs being offered at megastores for the fraction of the price with changes just small enough to make a tiny difference, but clearly aiming at potential customers of much more expensive products. You could limit it to any number of steps you want, extend the number the number of steps beyond 8, run the sequencer backwards or randomly, and even program verses and songs. With our cookies we would like to offer you the best shopping experience possible with everything that goes with it. With the Crave, Behringer has created an unofficial clone of the Moog Mother-32 for little money. I know Behringer are bad etc, but I genuinely love my Crave. The Edge uses literally the exact same voice architecture as the DFAM, has the same knobs and switches, same patch points, same sequencer, etc. I surely wont. However, I do feel I couldve more value out of something else. They may have dropped the item and now I'm not sure if my pre-order is still good or not. Other than that, this is a great way for people without extra cash to get into analog percussion. Not only that, but implicit in that scenario is that you also now have MIDI control over the sequencer itself -- just by playing notes (or even another sequencer) into it. I have nothing against behringer strategy of remaking old synths that are out of production (and probably patent). shoulda ripped something better-sounding off lol. Will be getting a skin though because, my god, is that pink hideous! Flat by comparison. You pay for the R&D, user testing, feedbacks, Go to Market, everything. I will contact them later to find out. Something like a Sub 25 or a Sub 37 is affordable, great sounding, well built and will keep most of its value. This whole support the originator argument only works if the originator stands by their sales. Behringer is making synths for hobbyist that wants a collection of synths, vs synthesists and players. Every analog synth I have with trim pots makes them easily accessible, because analog designers get that analog synths sometimes need to be trimmed to be in tune. Bye bye Moog. TimS again. I have Behringers Crave, Neutron and the 606 clone and they all give me immense pleasure and put a big stupid grin on my face every time I jam with them. Ive been doing this long enough that I feel like I cant afford to buy cheaply made gear anymore. This is a big reason why Behringer gear is cheap they dont have to invest in research and design, and they dont have to design and develop gear that might not be popular. im getting pissed from that wait, ill just buy a dfam and give my money to the company that deserves ot, Tbh every demo Ive seen the dfam just sounds so much more aggressive, maybe the edge has just had shit demos but honestly I hope the DFAM stands up on its own Ive refused to buy Behringer so far and I would love to keep it that way. Now its time for a well-known drum Synthesizer. Theyre getting something that ticks the same specs boxes but ultimately. If you use these, you support the website. The same reason that we have cheap(er) knockoffs of Strats and Les Pauls: so that musicians without a lot of money can still afford an instrument with similar playability, design, features, and sound. Thats a good feature to have, but dont confuse that with real MIDI support. We've been selling Behringer products since 1991, so for over 31 year(s).Behringer products are very popular with musicians! I do remember the wait for the dm12 was at least a year from the first showing to when it was available in stores. It also clones the DFAMs dual-row 8-step sequencer, so you can control two aspects of the drum synths voice on each step. They added MIDI sync for the tempo (a useful change) and removed Eurorack compatibility to cut costs (a really unfortunate change). Because, if people keeps buying behringer stuff, companies like Moog has very little reason to innovate as its going to be mostly expense and risks all on their side, while behringer sits on the safe side (They check what sells well on Thomann and they copy it).
