Behringer Model 15

Just to quickly jab in my opinion: I also think people wanting a moog will always want one. But after they have one, I think a b will be fine after that.

That’s how I feel. I have a moog now (and love it), but from here one the b equivalent will easily suffice.

Is there a release date on this?

I’m sure @Jukka shared a post from their FB page saying they’re suffering with chip shortage and supply chain issues but that once supplies start to come in then they will start releasing more products.

More of a Grandmother clone to me, even has similar color coding.

It is not that simple.
There are also people who can afford having original Moog but don’t want to spend a lot of money and they are fine with substitute. There is nothing really to dream of. Even software today is so good that the differences between classic analogs and VST can be considered as minor.

Of course, audiophiles will say they hear it very clearly but things are much different when they are asked to do a blind test

They are not even trying to hide that this is a Gradmother module clone.

more time spent on selling it as a Grandmother clone without getting sued than there was on the MIDI implementation?

:wink:

This looks interesting! I always wanted a Grandmother but don’t have the room for it. This definitely could fit on my desk!

Hooking this one up with a Kobol Expander would be nice.

Then add an edge for a little rhythm section and you’re off to the races.

Are you me?
I would love one too, but I think Superbooth is about to absolutely pop off. There’s about to be all manner of things announced.

I have missed my Grandmother ever since I sold it and bought a Matriarch. I’ve been waiting for this Behringer version for ages.

One thing I love about those Moogs though is that the patch points are next to the things they patch, which makes it a lot nicer to use than a mod matrix.

That and the GM’s real spring reverb which is amazing.

You mean the Mother 32,, DFAM, and Subharmonicon ?

Add to that the Behringer Neutron, and lots of others.

This is just your opinion. The flip of this keeping cables out of way of the controls.

I think he was specifically talking about the Grandmother and Matriarch.

And yeah I agree with them. Matriarch and Grandmother are much more fun to patch and give a more eurorack style version of patching when all the patch points are next to the module. It also is easier to learn for new comers as it’s plain to see which cv input and output go where, with a patchbay like this everything becomes dissociated.

And personally i find it to be a chore cuz it’s much harder to remember where exactly each patch point is.

Best middle ground I’ve seen is on the Taiga where it’s a singular patch bay that’s out of the way but the points are under each “module.” I will say though the way this is organized in the Not Grandmother does seem good enough. I think I’d prefer all the ins and outs next to each other rather than mixed together like how the DFAM, Mother 32, etc are.

So did they go with the real spring reverb?

No this is the digital version, like in the 2600 standard edition, the Blue and Grey have real springs. There is always the 646 but it’s kinda big for those out of room.

Trying to recall if they use a digital spring from TC Electronics ? It’s not bad in the 2600, but the real spring is a nice option they built in to that circuitry. Doubt though it would be an option with this one though. ( Maybe ? )

I figured so. The 646 does sound good and would make a great addition to a rack. I’ve got the Xmas 2600, and although the verb isn’t too bad, I just end up running it through the Gmas spring, or the Midiverb 2. Tell you what, that MV2 makes the 2600 sound like a monster.
