    I owned one of the original Pearl units, although mine was a later model that came with two small Simmons style trigger pads rather than the acoustic looking ones. Apart from the built in MIDI, the killer feature of the Behringer is the pitch tracking - the original unit could be modified to add a CV input for pitch, but it wouldn't track pitch in any predictable way making it impossible to play conventional melodic parts.

      I own an original and modified it with CV input. By adding two small trimmers inside, it's tracking 1v/oct perfectly :)
      So yes it can in fact play melodies in tune and it tracks very well over multiple octaves.

    • @chriswareham
      @chriswareham 3 місяці тому +2

      That's cool! When I owned mine the only mods I could find didn't mention trimpots for adjusting the CV tracking. I mainly used it as a source of sounds to sample for percussion parts.

      The classic cv mod worked well on various iterations of the pearl, including the original... as for the midi part, SY-1M set standards here (and if you compare teh Behringer and teh Psycox, you might get to some conclusions... ;)

      @@maffezsynthmods yep midi implementation is exactly similar :) too bad we never got new kits, but I got lucky to score an original Pearl last year.
      It now has the MSW Midi board, but it lacks the first midi mode unfortunately. So I can only control it with 2 different midi channels. I'm very much thinking about switching to the Behringer actually ;)

    At first, Behringer opting to change the dimensions of this clone kinda turned me off because the Pearl or the Michigan clone would take up much less space on my desk, but then I realized that they made the SY-1 the same exact dimensions as many of their other synths like the Neutron, Proton, Model D, etc etc etc, so this would fit perfectly in a rack with any of those, and at $200 instead of the $750 for the Michigan clone when it's actually in stock which is never. Kinda makes the SY-1 an easy buy.

    If I have a Pioneer TORAIZ SP16 Sampler connected via Pioneer Ethernet PROLINK connected to my XDJ1000XZ DJ standalone DJ controller, in theory , should I be able to connect the Syncussion to the MIDI OUT of TORAIZ SP16 , and control the Syncussions 2 channels via MIDI ( 2 different MIDI channels) ,and sequence the Syncussions 2 channels with the SP16 PADS ? Or would I require a 2 channel step sequencer as well ?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Love your videos and am fully DIGGIN this SYNCUSSION !
    Thank you.

    Is it velocity sensitive? A lot of the cheap analogs from Behringer are not. Analog drum machines in general tend to lack more than a couple velocities.
    I do see that you can control decay over MIDI, which is a really nice bonus

    I’m sure you do have a trigger for it. Plug your mic in and tap its top.
