Is Crave really so weak in terms of Midi control? Trying to find out how to change VC Mix from my DT, seems to be no chance to achieve it?
of course but in order to make it work you have to assign the Assign Output to a CC message which can be controlled by your machineā¦patch Assign out to VC mix in to make it work

Thanks! Assign -> CC didnāt work for the first time so I thought It was intended for some other things. Tried it again and worked!
P. S. A question though - is there any chance to CC more than one knob anyhow?
of course, you can multiply the Analog signal coming out of the Assign out to use it for different inputs.
other than that I think itās just one CC message that is assignable

does someone know if itās possible to engage the global ratcheting on all trigs to be permanent on the grid?
itās more like a performance thing and once you release the shift key on the crave the pattern is back to normal values.
same with Accent, rest and hold
basically a latch for this mode
Just got one of these. What a beautifully simple machine it is. Amazing value. Canāt wait to utilise the patch bay.

How are people liking thereās now that itās been a while? I had to sell my mother 32, Iāve briefly played with one but didnāt have enough time to really get an impression.
for those interested, Oversynth has some new overlays for the Crave:

Wow, what a difference!
Iām thinking of pairing the Crave with my Digitakt and Keystep for some knob-twiddling techno fun.
I really like that itās one-knob per function and the kind of āentry-levelā patch bay it has. Seems like you can come up with some interesting noises on the fly.
The only thing thatās stopping me is the Behringer Pro-1. It sounds gooooorgeous and I love the extreme modulation capabilities it has.
Maybe I should just get both.
Which would you guys choose?

Prob more scope with the Pro 1 with its extra oscillator and mod routings. The Crave looks like lots of fun with its built in sequencer but Iād be looking at using a DT midi track to sequence as again, youāve got more scope.
If youāre wanting something with patch points thatās not too expensive and sounds good you could try the Neutron?

+1 for for Crave sized/featured Volcas. Imagine Volca FM opened up to this extent 
Can Craveās sequencer send CV/gate through the patchbay i.e. can I sequence other semi-modular with it? Or is it just a MIDI-CV converter through those patch points - I think Iāve read this previously.
[EDIT] After more reading I think Crave sends sequencer information via MIDI thru/out (Behringer Crave ā Synthesiser Dave)
and passes MIDI in to the kb cv & gate outputs (the loopop video I think)
But then patch notes on this video say crave sequences 0-coast via those patch outputs (https://youtu.be/l946-PrWkeI)
The manual doesnāt exactly sayā¦?
Is the Crave already the āRaspberry PIā of synth (Everyone has at least one but seldom uses it 
).
sold it.
My only Mini Mono is the Pico System 3 which is really unique and greatly experimental!
it has a really complex oscillator and waveshaping possibilities and a really satisfying āclickā sound when you insert a patchcable, overall the patchpoints are really thought out in detail and youāre constantly adding sounds when starting to patch it, Buchla like movement and click clack patches, function behavior is where it excels!
It fills this Analog modular blipblop hole between the OP1 and Z and makes it great for sampling those textures.
Paired my Crave with the FX from the Korg NTS. Great little, cheap combination!

Hi, I have a small setup that I love which consists of a Elektron Digitakt and Digitone with a Keystep. Iāve been looking for a TB303 clone or sort and have researched the Behringer TD-3, Roland Boutique TB-03 and TT Cyclone and have yet to decide as Iām not sure I like the original sequencer of the 303 (watched some vids).
However someone mentioned a Behringer Crave which Iād never heard of that can do very similar bass lines and much more.
Anyone used one or is it too close to what the Digitone can do? Itās only a little more in price that their 303 clone so itās interesting.
Thanks
What ?
How ?
Really ?
