Great stuff! I can't believe I missed this series of yours - I'm a long-time subscribers, and I have had 2 Craves since they shipped 3 years ago - anyway, I'm glad I've found this series now! Wonderful that there's so much more to learn about this beautiful synth. Cheers!
Dear Mr Carr, you are a complete bastard. Before I found this video, I was certain that the crave was a too simple bigger volca that I did not need. Guess what, I need it. Great Video.
Fantastic video plain and simple. All your steps and the way you walkthrough everything is straightforward and fun. Simply outstanding video. _(also, to me OSC is oscillator... So, I don't buy into the clickbait title comment one bit)_ Cheers!
I’m using crave with neutron sometimes but definitely I’m getting another one or two to drive them out of one’s sequencer and other sequencers for mods, it’s so nice sounding synth and that price, that price:D like your videos and in general you seems to have great attitude:DDD keep them coming!;)
Nicely done. Have been enjoying your videos for the past 6 months, always solid, good facts, and along with AudioPilz/Loopop and Jorb, the ones I tend to turn to when deciding where to spend the pennies next
I've been looking for something that can introduce me to the world of modular synthesis. And after watching some of your videos I'm about to click buy on a CRAVE! Thank you!
I was thinking about getting 2 Craves to get 2 OSC, now i see that technically you can get 6 osc and paraphony, also the patchbays will be really fun to connect along into each other
Fantastic guide, can't wait for mine to arrive to try this out. I've just discovered your TH-cam channel so sorry if you've done this already (I will be checking now) but I'd be interested to see what you would do combining this and a neutron.
Are you able to get your LFO tracking perfectly? It sounds like yours gets out of pitch when going up by a 5th or beyond? Mine, unfortunately tracks even worse. Any tips or insight on getting a full octave’s worth of notes in tune using the LFO as an OSC?
Starsky Carr I have KB CV to MIX 2, VC MIX to LFO Rate, and LFO SQ to EXT IN? Just tried that and tracking doesn’t seem to be working much different? Now I can tune with both the LFO and the mix knob, but can’t find a combination of positions that tracks properly. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help/insight!
About my fifth watch of this vid. I hate that Behri used names like mix cv and cv mix and they're totally different and I just kinda phase out looking at the names of all the jacks on the patch bay. Some neuro deficiency, for sure. But I just hate how the patch bay is laid out, don't have a problem with any other semi-mods or eurorack gear. I will get this damned Crave to work for me. I WILL! And with a little help from Hutch, here. Thanks man!
Just got a Crave yesterday - love it but still have a lot to learn and wish the manual had a better tutorial with a few standard patches and sequences. It's my first synth, so I have a basic question: How are you tuning? Do you have a sound meter off-screen, or are you doing it by ear? If by ear, is this a natural talent or do you just put it in the spot that sounds the least dissonant? If there is technique involved, do you recommended any videos? Also, you mentioned your keybvoard a few times - was the tuning only to synch your keyboard? In other words, if I'm not using a keyboard (just the built-in 13 keys) do I still need to tune? Thanks!
Hi, you only need to tune really if you’re playing with other oscillators/instruments. If I need to put in tune (when jamming I never do) just use a free tuner for your phone. You can also use the tuner in your daw - there’s one under ‘metering’ in Logic, but I assume all will have one somewhere. The phone’s my go to method though. Hope that helps.
@@StarskyCarr Awesome! Thanks! I've been having fun with it and only wish I could've spent more time on it so far. So much to learn. I very much appreciate your videos, they have been (and will be when I get a chance to watch more) a great help. As this is my first synth, I've realized that I need a drum machine to make a complete sound anyone wants to hear. Looking at the RD-6 & RD-8, but was hoping for something semi-modular and haven't found much out there - any thoughts? Sincere thanks for the instruction. Cheers!
Yes all patch points follow the eurorack standard and can be connected to other eurorack gear such as model d. Kb cv goes to model d 1v/osc if you use the sequencer. You can send the vcf signal via external audio to model d or use a mixer (audio outputs are too low voltage for external audio without amplification)
Too bad that the LFO isn't in tune over an octave. I find this to be disappointing. Grandmother does this really fine. It should be necessary to "fix" this with the VCO mixer (what doesn't work anyway).
Hi, I've just found that triggering the Crave using FL Studio can cause a delay in the envelope, making a pluck at the start of a long attack. I've found that this was caused when the midi velocity was over 75% but works fine under that number. Any ideas why? Hope that makes sense? Lol. Thanks.
@@StarskyCarr Thanks, I've just worked that out. Took me a bit of playing but got there in the end. Thanks for the reply anyway, I might not have got there! 👍👏
Because they’re exactly the same. Follow this with the M32 for the same results. Take a look at this Behringer CRAVE vs Moog MOTHER-32: The definitive comparison
So y’all want to get respect wearing your fake yeezees?? Ain’t happening! You will not eat with the cool kids ! NO SOUP FOR YOU ! Support the originators instead of killing them. Clones have no heart and soul. Trust me and don’t waste you’re money making this company that devalues originality richer. Devaluation of the original creators Disrespects the creators which in turn disrespects thyself.
Click Bait Much? Your title screen says "3 OSC.." Not oscillators. OSC is Open Sound Control, pretty hot buzz word right now, but I guess you knew that.
Cheeky... no I had no idea. But I guess you knew that. Probably the most obscure click bait title in history if that was the case... in which case it’s not really click bait is it??
Just got my Crave and I am quickly falling in love. Thanks so much for this and all of your tutorials.
Great stuff! I can't believe I missed this series of yours - I'm a long-time subscribers, and I have had 2 Craves since they shipped 3 years ago - anyway, I'm glad I've found this series now! Wonderful that there's so much more to learn about this beautiful synth. Cheers!
I dont know why this beatiful tutorial isnt reach more views, is gold powder, thanks mate
Thanks
Your presentations are often full of useful information! 😊

I ordered one yesterday and you just answered every question I had about the Crave!
how can anyone dislike this video? (maybe their in the wrong game?) Great work Starsky! i buzz off your enthusiasum!!! ;)
Nicely done. Have been enjoying your videos for the past 6 months, always solid, good facts, and along with AudioPilz/Loopop and Jorb, the ones I tend to turn to when deciding where to spend the pennies next
This was a great demonstration and a much appreciated tip about patch-library.
the lib is not accessible
I've been looking for something that can introduce me to the world of modular synthesis. And after watching some of your videos I'm about to click buy on a CRAVE! Thank you!
When you’ve spent your first 10k please don’t blame me :)
I was thinking about getting 2 Craves to get 2 OSC, now i see that technically you can get 6 osc and paraphony, also the patchbays will be really fun to connect along into each other
Oh boy! Many thanks for the tips! I bought this Synth without any background in semi mod Synth so your video is very helpful :)
Glad it’s useful... there’s 4 more on the way :)
I am craving a Crave. A nice chunky sound with a funky sequencer and a dazzling patch bay....I definitely need to have one soon
Great stuff! I didn’t know the filter is self resonant...you made my afternoon lol
Crave just arrived here today. Rewatching all of these. Very cool:)
It will be of use to me, when I get my crave!
There was one on Thomann today as b stock, you might still be able to get it;)
m.thomann.de/gb/behringer_crave_b_stock.htm?o=10&search=1575568930
are you telling us that you crave your crave?
spot on vid , working my crave to the max
i just my crave yesterday. I absolutely love it..This Video is very very helpful. Thanks for sharing this..
Fantastic guide, can't wait for mine to arrive to try this out. I've just discovered your TH-cam channel so sorry if you've done this already (I will be checking now) but I'd be interested to see what you would do combining this and a neutron.
Wow. That sound.
Like the demo song, that is my jam, crusty drums and analog warbles. Just satisfies me.
love it!
Great video, really helpful as always ✌🏻
Nice thanks, go on - good work
Hi, Just bought one of these for £100 Excellent value for money. I might get another one ;)
Are you able to get your LFO tracking perfectly? It sounds like yours gets out of pitch when going up by a 5th or beyond? Mine, unfortunately tracks even worse. Any tips or insight on getting a full octave’s worth of notes in tune using the LFO as an OSC?
Have you tried the CV mixer? KYBD cv out to CVmix 2 in? Cv mix out to LFO in??
Starsky Carr I have KB CV to MIX 2, VC MIX to LFO Rate, and LFO SQ to EXT IN? Just tried that and tracking doesn’t seem to be working much different? Now I can tune with both the LFO and the mix knob, but can’t find a combination of positions that tracks properly. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help/insight!
@@bcroson82 doesn't work here either
very cool, for some reason though on the third example I can't get my filter oscilator to keyboard track
Thanks Mate!
Love you videos mate 👍
Great tutorial. Thanks a million.
About my fifth watch of this vid. I hate that Behri used names like mix cv and cv mix and they're totally different and I just kinda phase out looking at the names of all the jacks on the patch bay. Some neuro deficiency, for sure. But I just hate how the patch bay is laid out, don't have a problem with any other semi-mods or eurorack gear.
I will get this damned Crave to work for me. I WILL! And with a little help from Hutch, here. Thanks man!
Thanks so much for this 👍🏼

Hi, I am using a Crave but want a deeper ambient drone sound. Can I connect the crave to a model D ? If yes how would you patch this combo ?
Yes all patch points follow the eurorack standard and can be connected to other eurorack gear such as model d. Kb cv goes to model d 1v/osc if you use the sequencer. You can send the vcf signal via external audio to model d or use a mixer (audio outputs are too low voltage for external audio without amplification)
I'm trying to run the Crave from an Arturia keystep, but the keystep sequencer always triggers the Crave sequencer! anybody knows how to avoid that?
Too bad that the LFO isn't in tune over an octave. I find this to be disappointing. Grandmother does this really fine. It should be necessary to "fix" this with the VCO mixer (what doesn't work anyway).
wow. thank *YOU*
You're welcome :)
Still in doubt wether to buy the Crave or save longer for the Neutron
Save even longer and get them both.
Hi, I've just found that triggering the Crave using FL Studio can cause a delay in the envelope, making a pluck at the start of a long attack. I've found that this was caused when the midi velocity was over 75% but works fine under that number. Any ideas why? Hope that makes sense? Lol. Thanks.
Check out the accent settings for the CRAVE using synth tool. It can produce different settings above a threshold set in the app.
@@StarskyCarr Thanks, I've just worked that out. Took me a bit of playing but got there in the end. Thanks for the reply anyway, I might not have got there! 👍👏
Excellent
Mmm, why you put on the title mother 32 and is not even on the vídeos?
Because they’re exactly the same. Follow this with the M32 for the same results. Take a look at this Behringer CRAVE vs Moog MOTHER-32: The definitive comparison
10x!
Sounds like the Timber Wolf 🐺
not even close
cool
Omg therefore ist the multiple jack *facepalm*
We can shake our hands :-)
Now I'm ready to get 3 O's as well not only two.

Starsky Carr nice vid, I came expecting a video on 3 oscillators with the crave, got that and then some.
