Almost irresistable to not give it a try

PEople may hate behnringer as much as they like, and the work ehics of the company might be questionable, but they do deilver when it comes to the new, ever expanding, synth range.

The Model D is a very nice, well built mono synth. It sounds great and comes very close to a classic original which this was inspired by.

The synth has all expected features, and handling feels good. The knobs are a bit msall, but this is something we see commonly nowadays with the small sized devices and modular equipment.

Aside from the expected features the addition of daisy poly chaining multiple Model D's makes it also tempting to build your own analog poly synth.

It works as a desktop or eurorack device, with a minor downside being the loose bolts used to fix it in its case, instead of a full bar. Once you have dismounted it from the case to put it in a rack, you will have a struggle to mount it back with all screws in the original case.

All in all, for the price tag it has, this is an irresistable offer, that offers you the real classic power in a compact and afforable format.

I don't see why you would not give it a try.

I <3 Behringer

Note that my ratings take into account the product's price.

I loved MiniMoog's sound but couldn't afford it given that I'm just a hobbyist. And even if I could afford it I'd probably not spend all that money on a vintage machine with no midi support that would cost me a fortune to maintain in the future. So, when I saw this clone from Behringer it was an instant buy. And heck I'm not regretting it. The sound is simply amazing, pretty much 100% like the original thing. Plus the guys at Behringer were cool enough to add an extra LFO and proper Midi support. The only downside is that the knobs are too close to each other and turning certain knobs becomes a tedious process. But for the price and the sound... Who cares?

As far as the comments about whether it's unethical or not that Behringer is cloning other people's circuits: Hardware and VST company giants are doing that for ages. I don't see why there's a difference in an analog modeling software based synth that is literally acting the same way a Moog circuit is and an equal analog circuit.

Thank you, Behringer. I can't wait for your new synth products.

I really like this synth!

One of the best value synths at this price range.

Good build quality. Nothing wobbles or rattles. It's lighter than I expected but not in a way that makes it feel flimsy. quite the opposite. It feels like a solid, but largely empty metal box....that then makes amazing sounds with very little effort.

As a synth this can do everything from bass to leads and effect sounds using the noise filter and filter cutoff in some clever ways.

Really pleased with it

For basslines and leads, having 1 knob per function makes this synth very fun and good for beginners. No patch memory means you are forced to remember or when you are skilled at programming maybe this is a non-issue.
