Like with the Braids, some algorithms need a trigger to work properly else the sound is not produced correctly (generally all sounds needing an "exciter" in real world, drums, modal strings...). Try using the trigger for these algos and you'll hear the difference ! By the way, thanks for the demo !
I just got mine today, I haven’t hooked it up yet but after hearing your xyz stick I know my Kieth McMillan Qunexus is going to be a great controller for this!
@ranzee Have you noticed that the Morph control introduces glide/slew on the Waveshaper/Wavefolder mode with the latest firmware? The documentation says that it controls waveform symmetry, but that only works on Out 2 for me. Not sure if this is intended, or if it's just mine...
btw if you hit the trig in with a spike when in the vocal that is how you get it to talk words - without that trigger you just get the sounds, using trig in alongside the outs going to envelopes alters a lot of what we hear
0:15 Such gorgeous scenery paired with a top-notch overview of "Brains"! It's beyond humbling that a creator I've long admired would take direct inspiration from my own content 😘
Cheers Rocco! If you're interested - this is Herdsman Lake in Perth - I filmed it just after we had some major rainfall (hence why the path was flooded).
Hi Ranzee, first I will say that you made a perfect overview of Behringer Brains! Thanks a lot! I had to wait a long time for the module (ordered August 2021) After yesterday's delivery and testing, there was some disappointments: 1. the manual - terrible bad, Beringer could have saved himself the small paper! 2. Problems playing the module chromatically. Why? There is no hint or indication that the small FM controller must be exactly in the middle position and therefore has an influence on the V/Oct input. (Default: far left) Why doesn't have the small controls a snapping center position?!? 3. partial dropouts by waveforms, when working with the timbre, harmonics and morph controls. Didn't you notice that? 4. Brains cannot be updated with the actual synthtribe app (I'm using an iMac 27' with macOS High Sierra). So far, I havn’t had any problems updating the B-2600 and B-ProOne. Cheers Pit
I think if you check out the Mutable Instruments site you can find much more info about the Brains - because it is a clone of the Plaits :) The manual for that will help you out immensely! Thanks for stopping by!
Nice demo ! It's almost like a Microfreak in modular system imao XD ( with drum algorithms + ) Hope to see you in a future live... I missed you the last week !
Not sure as the ETA. Mine was supplied to me by Behringer for review. I've been told that people who purchased theirs in the EU are shipping now. Perhaps it won't be much longer for us here in Australia.
@@JoseAngelMorente My walk in the park was intro recorded on my phone - but the rest of the video (all the sounds of the Brains) was recorded directly into the mixer - information in the video is here: th-cam.com/video/M-j7vR3zQno/w-d-xo.html
They are beautiful. It's hard to believe, but the day I filmed that was in the middle of winter and we'd just had the wettest month on record. There was a break from all the rain, the sun came out - it was sublime!
I have just watched the video, thankyou. It gives me a lot more to think about and play with.
Quality review and nice scenic route
Many thanks!

Indeed. Nice of you to share the knowledge - thanks for watching!
Very Nice explanation Thanks from France👍🏻

I haven't - I also need to use the Brains some more, but I've been side-tracked with other gear since.
Thx for the post - What Verb are you using in the demo?
Strymon BigSky :)
Did you post a lot on GS? Username sounds so familiar
7:22: top notch audio mixing right here, really shows how much effort you put into your video! **slow clap**
Yeah, probably not my best. I'll try better next time :)
btw if you hit the trig in with a spike when in the vocal that is how you get it to talk words - without that trigger you just get the sounds, using trig in alongside the outs going to envelopes alters a lot of what we hear
Got another video coming - covering this, the percussion side and the new firmware update.

Cheers mate - we have a show on Saturday! hope to see you then - 2PM UK time :)
Nice one Ranz... looks like I'll have to get one... add to ever growing list...
lol - the bug!
Thanks for showing how to access the 8 octave range. As usual, Behringer's documentation is sorely lacking.
You're welcome!
How do we get one? They are not available in Melbourne

@@ranzee thanks mate great video you should do more reviews like this.
is the audio directly recorded from the output?
Through a VCA and into a Mixer. The video explains the connections. Sometimes I add effects. All in the video :)
@@ranzee hmm it sounds somehow like a recording made with a smartphone microphone, not a direct output.

All those paperbarks make me miss Australia

nice one Ranz and nice one #behringer
Cheers man
I think it should be pronounced "Play-its" :-)
Hehehe - I'm always getting in trougble for pronouncing things wrong ;)
You talk tooo much. Give us sounds, who cares for other things
It's a review - not a sound demo.
Watch another video. There are tons on this unit, many with no talking. I appreciate his commentary.
