| Kind of awesome how Behringer went from being the crappy version of gear to being the generic, affordable version of actually good gear within the past ~10-15ish years. When I was selling gear just before my estimated time-line it was known to be basically Yamaha* or Peavey-ish company (does a very wide line of products at affordable prices), but "ever-so-slightly" crapish. Since then they have become a/the goto if you want essentially Moog or those other big names for less than 1 carrot. I have a Prophet 5 v2 so no real need for me (in terms of analogue synth), but great to see this kind of stuff getting into the hands of more people. Sure, the pots, etc. aren't quite as solid as the big ($) versions, but that kind-of doesn't matter at all, for a lot of use cases. I might even get one of their thingies at some point. For less than the price of a beater car it's become a tempting case to have GAS [0] for Behringer [1].

I brought them up because, in addition to handling mid and high-end gear, they always made really quality entry-level gear as well. |
