If nothing else, bless Behringer for forcing everyone elses hand in the market.

...and the euro pog/whammy void remains unfilled. Fuck off with your clouds, phonogenes, rainmakers and echophons and just give me a god damn pitch shifter that's not a 6u patch-in-a-box for fuck's sake.

sooooo...dba?

Have you looked into the QuNexus? I think you would really dig it.

I'm not sure if it was the current model or if it was damaged, but I wasn't too impressed with my brief time with one. That's why I've been hesitant to grab a new one, maybe as a birthday present to myself.

I do really want them to make their version of a Roli Block though.

Video is mostly useless except for "Priced between $600 and $650..."

Fox Pedals looking a bit like Chase Bliss... hmmm... can't say I don't want to hear that delay though.

The expanded Rev2 lists at $1999, so I don't think Dave is too concerned with Behringer's entry into the synth marketplace. It's hard for me to see a synth pioneer with 40 years of experience being greatly affected by upstarts. If you were starting a synth company today, then you would have to be thinking about Behringer----but DSI already has their own built-in audience of professionals and advanced hobbyists.

Also, based on the amount of stuff that they've added, this is an update that's likely more than a year in the making. It's probably more like a 16-24 month undertaking. As far as listings, DSI has lowered the asking prices on some items over time. Perhaps this will be $1799 or less a year from now. (the '08 was $1849 in December, but I think it launched somewhat higher) Anyone hoping it will be sliced in half, though, needs to grab up the '08 PE while some stores still have them at $1299ish. You're just not going to see synths made in the US cheaper than synths made in Asia.

I don't think it'll be sliced in half (what a dream that would be ), but I thought it would be lower since Behringer made theirs so cheap. Guess DSI will continue to market as the "high-quality" stuff or something.

Tetrapad (???)
Plonk (https://intellijel.com/new-partnership- ... ntellijel/)
Shifty (???)
Quad VCA (competition for MI's Veils)

Looks like the shifty is a frequency divider? First switch up top says Voices, pretty sure the one below it says Divider.

Well I thought it would be lower than it is, because he said they wanted to, "Add a bunch of features, at the same time lower the cost." ---Like I said, though, maybe in a year or three, they'll shave a couple hundred off when they've recouped some of their R&D money back.

As long as DSI is based in San Francisco, consumers we'll be paying premium prices for their products. That's one of the most insanely expensive (and criminally overrated) cities in the US. Even in a tamer market like Asheville, I imagine the janitor at Moog makes more dough than the floor manager at Behringer's factory.

Wheres the damned Hologram posts at!?

My friend works in SF as a web developer and makes over 6 figures and can only afford basic shit. I can't imagine a place worse than DC cost of living wise but looks like SF has completely shattered my expectations. Fucking tech bros.
