More fun the more I learn

Bjørnar, 13.11.2019

I'm new to modulars/semi-modulars. When I received the Crave and started playing with it, my first thought was "Ok, this thing is a liiiitle bit more basic than I was expecting" - but that didn't last for long.

Soon I had Googled my way to patches for the very similar synth from another manufacturer that I won't name (you probably know which other synth has 32 connections) and it opened my mind and I realized the real potential of the Crave.

This thing can really make a lot of nice sounds, especially for something at this price level!

Pros:
- A LOT of routing options for a beginner's semi-modular
- The oscillator (and envelope) sounds very nice, powerful and punchy
- Build quality is top notch. It's built like a tank
- Very smooth potentiometers that feel like they will last for a long time. Very sturdy, with no play.
- Patch-compatible with the other very similar synth (you know which)
- The sequencer is more advanced than I first thought. I recommend to read the manual to learn it fully.
- Configuring the "Assign" output to "Sequencer random" and patching it through the "Multiple" I/O's (or stackable cables) to inputs like e.g. VCO mod, LFO rate and VCF mod gives hours of fun.
- The side panels seem to be wood or at least wooden laminate as far as I can tell (not plastic as a Youtube reviewer recently said)

Cons:
- A 6.3mm TRS jack output would have been nice instead of the 3.5mm TS in the patch bay
- Input level of "Ext. audio" is -5V to +5V (that means the output from other line-level gear will be very low in volume
- Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I wish the sequencer would act more like a 303 when setting the gate length to max (the notes don't quite merge with the next note when gate length is 100% and glide is on, there's a tiny gap)
- Thomann's product page for the Crave says it has an ADSR envelope, but it's actually ADS
- On my unit the D# key on the sequencer "keyboard" is a bit more difficult than the rest. It has to be pushed exactly in center to trigger, unlike the rest of the keys which trigger both in center and sides. I assume this something that can be easily fixed by re-adjusting the placement of the plastic keys slightly. But I won't try as it's not too bothersome so far, and it might just fix itself after more use.

Amazing

Justin from Alabama, 30.04.2021

An awesome and super fun little synth. It definitely takes time to get used to it if you are a beginner but once you do, it's potential is as far as you can think. I absolutely love this synth. The synthtool and Behringer software should be the first thing you download when buying this synth. It will show you the way. I recommend this product to anyone.

PS
I also own a Mother-32 and they are alomost interchangable at about a third of the price.

Good Synth

Moodz, 28.04.2021

2 weeks review so far awesome synth mostly works best for Bass Lines , very heavy and clean sound knobs and build quality is on the top ends.
would definitely recommend for any start up on modular synth as very easy to learn and remember the patches as you go working on your sound design there is a few noisey clicks that happened through through out my journey working with this synth but gonna explore deeper and would update

Simplement parfait

Gilbert D, 28.04.2021

Il n'y a pas grand chose à dire si ce n'est que pour son prix, il est imbattable.
Un seul oscillateur de base mais il y a moyen d'en avoir au moins 3 si l'on compte le lfo qui peut monter assez haut en fréquence et également la résonnance de filtre qui peut entrer en autorésonnance.
Le système de patchage permet énormément de combinaison.

Bref! C'est un plaisir de chercher des sons avec le Crave.
