I bought a Poly D and a CAT off the strength of those. Now I have to wait for months after a synth is out on the market to see how it will perform in a song.

    In the 1980s, equipment was too expensive for me to buy. It wasn't until the advent of MIDI sequencers and multi-timbral synthesizers that I was able to start composing music in earnest. But. not anymore. Thank you Behringer.

      Still expensive in my country, this set up would still be very close to $3K, considering what you could get in software and a good quality midi controller, audio interface for the money, depends what makes things more fun for you though, so usually hardware can't be beat there.

    I like your way of working, I'll try it on a track. I usually start with a bass/sequence and establish the chords from that playing the roots on the bass sequence. Then add my sequencer bits, pads, guitars, vocals, drums.

    To get inspired, I often start with 4 random numbers from 1 to 7, build 7th chords on top of them based on a random key, and get the chords in a pleasant order. There is a lot of sweet surprises coming out of that. Btw. a great synth for that is the Behringer Poly D, because of the beautiful filter and the chorus!

    Would Behringer design a hardware standalone sequencer? It does not have to be an extensive audio production tool.

      @@walrtbstudios5430yes, it will probably be more limited in some aspects compared to the SQ-64. To start with it only has 32 knobs and will probably sequence up to 32 steps. I think it was announced as a sequencer and it is brilliant that they intend to launch it in collaboration with the designer of the Zaquencer software because many people love it. It also will seemingly include 4 CV/GATE out sets but not discrete modulation outs. That is not too important to me, though. What really tips the balance in favor of the Behringer for me is that they promise 2 MIDI CC lanes per part while the Korg offers only one that you need to use for velocity if you want some expression. I assume Korg could easily improve that through a firmware update (at least on the MIDI side of things) but they seem to really care about some products but not others. If they do update it sooner than the BCR-32 is released, I will surely go with Korg.

    @Behringer I am literally programming a pattern based MIDI sequencer program at this very moment, as youtube randomly played this is the background. I am currently having to use 4 novation launchpads as the interface but I would much rather have an all-in-1 interface hardware unit as I can tell you, as someone who owns ALOT of electronic music equipment including Behringer synths I have found hardware sequencers made today to be very wanting... whether it is the Akai/MPCs, the Toraiz Squid, the pyramid, the novation circuits etc etc - for those of us that prefer DAWless setups there are truly very few options available for multi-device, multi-channel midi sequencers that have 'song-mode's and go beyond simply chaining a few patterns or 'scenes' together. There are various other MIDI devices missing from the market. I have been a big fan of Behringers work in the last few years and am very much looking forward to the PRO-8 you are working on. I really think that Behringer is the company to produce these new product ideas and make them happen. Please reply here with contact details to discuss further.
