While they are obviously not Volcas, they are also being heavily inspired by some design ideas from Volcas like the options accessed through the keyboard. The organization and visual design are literally the same

Honestly the biggest thing about the capacitive keyboard on the Obviously Not A Volca is that I feel like the big chonky body with the super thin keyboard looks like it would be super easy to accidentally just snap right off. The Microfreak at least doesn't have that massive of a step down (or at least, doesn't look like it.) Other than that, while it has one specific design element that looks similar (the font choice on the keys), it's actually definitely not a Volca. poo poo like that is what I *actually* want to see from Behringer. That, the Deepmind, the Neutron and now Proton, that poo poo is cool and interesting. The obvious and clear ripoffs, less neat. I'll even give them some leeway on the Model D because it's doing something the Minimoog didn't: incorporation into the Euro standard. So to recap: cool new poo poo from Uli - kickin rad; evolutions of old/existing poo poo - pretty okay; complete ripoffs - gently caress off Uli.

Unlike some other Behringer products, I wouldn't call the Soul line knockoffs, but it's quite clear they are acknowledging the Volca's influence over these new toys. More like a homage. e: but it's also obviously to compete with Korg because Uli's strategy seems to be to starve other manufacturers with cheaper toys, and that's bad and not healthy competition.

Anyway, I found a used Roland Volca DJ-505 on VolcaBay for a couple hundred under VSRP. Can't wait to let it collect dust on my Volca stand.

Ok Comboomer posted:The Hirotribe press makes it sound like KORG didn’t want to do a Monotribe 2, and also the Monotribe 1 is discontinued, so I don’t necessarily see this as Uli stealing from KORG’s chicken coop. The joke is pretending the new Behringer Soul synths aren't blatantly trying to be Bolcas when they clearly are.     They still look cool though (but ugly) and at least they are original. e: lol just noticed even the 4 screws on the front panels are exact copies of the ones on the volcas SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Mar 7, 2022 |

The guitar pedal industry is saturated with companies that thrive despite selling rehashes of 30 to 50 year old circuits for five to ten times more than budget companies like Behringer do. As long as people don't have to do a double take to tell something's not the original with a triangle sticker slapped on (like with the Keystep clone), then they're probably not hurting any other company too badly. No one who picks up a Behringer knockoff was ever going to buy a MOOG and doubly so for anything discontinued.

Rod Hoofhearted posted:Just earlier today I saw a thread at Mod Wiggler where a guy was missing a surface-mount diode on a Behringer Pro-one and was trying to figure out how to replace it. Either it was never soldered on, or it was done so poorly that it fell off. The Neutron helped me learn about patching and ultimately got me into eurorack, and it's still in regular use in my setup, but I'm glad I got it used. Really, if I want something Behringer, at this point I'm just going to buy it used rather than giving money directly to Uli. Considering how much some fairly basic things cost in eurorack, though, the Neutron is an insanely powerful piece of kit for the $250 I paid for it. I just bought a spring reverb kit off of Thonk and I can't wait to see what weird things I can do by interacting directly with the spring.

That minimoog looking one is clearly based on the SE-02 wait, so did the Juno rip off an Oberheim or did the Oberheim rip off the Juno? (it’s the Oberheim Matrix/DSX livery, for the record) Also lol at the joystick being an “obvious D-50 rip” when it’s clearly a Prophet VS clone. Or do you think that the gajillion synths that have shipped with a similar joystick are aping the D-50? Do you even know what synths these are aiming to clone? trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Mar 7, 2022 |

The crave in particular makes me feel bad because it is so unbelievably bad rear end and I payed less than 200 for it. I don't think I would ever have considered buying a mother 32 though.

I feel like Behringer has some new analog modelling framework they’re looking to turn into products, just like the Roland Botiques.

I’m pretty sure these Behringers are using actual hardware circuits tho I’ll leave it up to actual users as to whether ‘physical hardware for way less money in a smaller chassis’ is a win or loss for Uli Coyote vs Roland Boutique

drat yeah the moog and oberheim ones are analog. Someone is guaranteed to inevitably put together a $400 8-voice.

That minimoog looking one is clearly based on the SE-02 I don't think you understand what I'm saying. They aren't copying the same synths inspiring the volca products (DX7 for the FM, MS-20 for the kick, ...) they are copying the format. The Behringer Soul synths are of course based on other synths, but the format looks nothing like the Boutiques and everything like the Volcas. Anyway I'm not trying to convince anyone, if someone doesn't see that the picture below shows they are almost a 1:1 reproduction of a Volca Keys keyboard interface, it's not going to change anything anyway I owned 5 Volcas and still own a SE-02 so I believe it's great Behringer is making more cheap toys with great, iconic sounds. I'm not making any judgement here. Just stating the obvious that these are clearly Bolcas, and it's very likely that it was done on purpose because it makes people like you and me talk about them for pages, and there's no such thing as bad publicity.
