What do you think about Behringer who announced a re/issue of the CZ-1 as a small module. I personally have many of the replicas that Behringer made of old synthesizers and I love them dearly. Finally I can aford the synths of the 70s and 80s that were unreachable for me at that time. Of course a lot of them are monophonic analog machines which have a rich UI with one knob per function, but I also like the digital ones like the Brains or Victor which are much harder to program, but still have a very easy to use UI. Same is true for Korg with their volca line. The Volce FM is just great, even though I have to program the DX7 sound on a PC.
- boffinAudio 2y agoI think Behringer are doing awesome things, its absolutely fun to see them release designs based on barely-available synths and letting the kids get access to it all - and I don't share the ire that most, working in this industry, have for Behringers' pricing pressure, as this industry has long been exploitative when it comes to charging exorbitant prices for exotic hardware. That said, they're not pushing the UI paradigms forward nearly fast enough for my purposes - which is, actually, a good thing: because it leaves a lot of room for big innovation to come from other exotic manufacturers. I just wish it were happening fast enough, but it seems that the maxim is true: "Musicians don't care about the interface, they just want to make noise .."
