Great demo. Behringer are making great synths for the budget musician. Ironically their all so great I want to buy all of them!
Excellent review. Really good patch examples. Have followed them with my own neutron and got similar results. Even though I am a noob to synths and espesh modular, I completely agree with your verdict. It was the most affordable option for me for both a synth and a modular learning/experimenting tool. I control it with an Arturia Beatstep Pro so I can see what notes are sequenced and to add swing and randomness. This is a versatile and unique sounding instrument, accessible to beginners like me. Liked and subbed. Thank you : )
This synth is awesome. Behringer really nailed it. The fact that they are all sold out completely in Australia at this moment is a testament to the awesomeness. Can't find one anywhere. I'm just waiting for more to come in and I'm pulling the trigger on one. Great demo mate. Cheers
I'm definitely getting one, love it, great review.
Nice review. I like your on screen notes. Here in the US, large on-line retailer is expecting fall delivery. I'm on the list and looking forward to it.
there is no hyphen in "online".
Got mine a few days now... I'm more than happy with it. Thanks for the Video. cheers :-)
I plan to buy one, 4 yrs later 😀 great video thank you for helping me decide.
the drone at 16.30 is really great, there's certainly a lot of possibilities in this little box - especially if you take the price into consideration. Great walkthrough and honest thoughts as always Tom.
Thanks Greg :)
After few years of using it I think, this synth is a real gem.
i just got my neutron today....i love it... of my 14 synths the neutron is in top 4
It looks great, really an easy decision if you already have some eurorack modules, even easier still if you're thinking of getting into eurorack. I don't imagine the BBD noise would be too much of an issue, given you could always add a clean VST in post if you don't want the character the onboard delay provides. Thanks for the review, an excellent job as usual.
Hey. Absolutely. It's a matter of taste. I personally prefer cleaner delays than to noisy. Cheers ;)
You can't get away from the delay in it, even off Nick from Sonicstate said it still goes through the circuit and can't be bypassed. Seems to be it's only flaw though.
god I hope that behringer make more original synths. I love theyre work on cloning the classics, but they have proven to be capable of originality and I wanna see it
i love the eurorack look and feel (when the leds light up to the set ratio) :)
Wow, this is the best demo of the Neutron yet! : )
Best Nutron video I've seen
thanks ;)
Sounds very bloody nice. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. But need a custom face plate. I don't mind the red. But those graphics?!! They look like 80's wallpaper & pillow sets!!
Another great review :-) . I think the Neutron sounds fab ,, especially for bass ,, like your experiment at the end .
I like the bright red, like ferrari.
Dark red is for grandmothers....
My dude your arm hair is on point
Mine is already pre ordered!
The different design patterns on the faceplate is very unusual and interesting
I have only one question:
via on MIDI port can change all parameters (OSC, VFO, Envelope, Overdrive....) or only the note and other simple command can send it?
very cool Synth, probably will buy one
This is going to set me back a bit, Prophet X here I come, BUT I gotta grab this neutron on the way home!
Maybe you should link to your "First Look" Neutron video in the Description area?
Sure I will :)
The Part with the sounds is the best, because I can hear only this great synthesizer
Great review. thanks :)
Thanks ;) Hope it helps ;)
1:50 it's a Moffat inspired filter.
Very nice video many thanks I like. the Neutron Modular ...
seems really like an interesting piece of synth, if i had the time (or not enough synth stuff already) i would get me one of these :)
I hope they continue to give us more eurorack I’m waiting for mine in the fall
Great review!!
I'm using Behringer electronic for party and fun stuff for decades. Did they really now arrived in the pro-area?
where can i find or learn in-depth video about how modulars work ? and also the patch points?
maybe check out the book Patch & Tweak which is kind of a modular bible with everything you need to know. Otherwise there are tons of videos available which covers most of the eurorack topics. The patch points of the Neutrons are quite self-explained what they make. In the manual you can find also some useful informations. Cheers
have a question. If the neutron and its midi / gate output are to be inserted into the v/oct of the oscillator, it would work?
For some strange reason my Mother 32 is starting to lose its appeal.
I plan on using the Mother 32 with the Neutron. Neutron doesn't have a sequencer and has a different filter than the Moog Ladder style. I think that they will interface nicely with both patchbays. I am also going to use the MicroBrute with it. I found a red version of the MB just to match!
Nicholas Wilson wish I still had my red Microbrute
Buy a white one and paint in in red. Then record a song and entitle it "paint it red".
I am planning on getting a second Mother 32, and a DFAM. However, I think the Neutron will be my next Investment.
I am looking forward to exploring their combined options.
Looks like a good one to me.
Love that drone making part! BTW, Behringer named the price of 299$. So I don't understand when you've got that 350 euro suddenly :) Maybe it's a price for Europe with taxes... i believe in this then. But not everybody are from Europe here ;)
Thanks ;) I'm from Europe and the price here is 345-350€ (including taxes...) In US it's $299 USD but also without tax! In Australia it's far more but don't know why. Cheers ;)
Something like that, can buy for £298 here but it's listed as a discount down from £416., Austrailia's just expensive for everything as for size of country doesn't have the population to support their tax needs and businesses to the same extent. plus trading partners are a lot further away and you get increased transport costs involved.
On the other side... your country is a unique place about nature, recreation and etc. And probably salaries are not bad ;) I'm almost sure that 299$ for USA is like a gift :)
Can you play it over usb midi?
Hey Zwedgy :) Thanks for your question! Yes you can, it operates as MIDI-USB interface with MIDI In/Out :)
Thank you for this review. My only concerns with this product is the integrity of the calibrations over time. Changing regular consumables on instruments I have grown to accept but cracking open a chassis case and adding or removing solder on circuit boards to ensure components are within scope of meter tolerances is something I don't want to get into should this unit begin to go wonky over time. At the price point being offered for all of the versatility (in new condition) does make this unit very attractive and I still want one for the studio. I guess we will have to see over time how the response is on some that have been in service since first release. I would love to hear feedback from first gen. owners that put this unit through the paces on an accelerated performance level and schedule.
Analog Bliss.
Cheers!
Is this neutron (in this video) connected with a midi keyboard or sequencer?
Yes with the KeyStep but sometimes also directly with USB in the computer with Ableton Live ;)
I pair this with the lifeforms sv-1 and got 4 fm sources going on the same osc
Please tell how cheers
Great video. That experimental sound around 22:35 was very unnerving... sounded like Satan's wake up alarm.
Nice drums!
Gute Arbeit Tom. Vielleicht sollte dieses Ding mein B Model D ersetzen.
wieso ersetzen? Aber wie's ausschaut dauert es sowieso noch 3 Monate bis musicstore verschickt... Deswegen auch mein preorder abgebrochen :/
Ich habe nur in meinem KB37 gemeint. Im Moment sitzt mein B Model D drin.
I can't make out the labels, on the patch bay. Does it have voltage control of resonance?
Thanks for your question: yes it has :)
That's good - and quite rare, on an analog synth.
At 10:00 you are clearly using a sequencer but I don't think the Neutron has a built-in sequencer. Are you using an input device that is doing the sequencing?
hey David. That's right. In this video I used just my Ableton Live and send out MIDI to the USB port of the Neutron ;)
So sad i canceled my preorder on Andertons.
Now i'll have to wait till september at least.
Did so aswell on musicstore, since they moved the date from 19.06.18 to 16.09.18... Almost 3 months delay, so I'll just get a tanzbär instead :/
damn :( hopefully it will be better ;) I hope the Tanzbär 2 because it's a major upgrade compared to the 1. But it comes later this year out
if it ain't made out of beer cans its ok , what you mean by saying cheap aluminum ?
are you a metallurgist?
Thanks for your input. Well it's solid, fits well but for me it's not the best quality. It's very light in weight and thin compared to other synths. Hope this helps. Cheers ;)
SYNTH ANATOMY I bet it'll be fine in the studio away from kids and....cats
sure for 98% of the synth users it's fine but there are always guys which check also the build quality etc. For me it was important to mention my impression on this ;)
SYNTH ANATOMY you're right , when there is nothing to bitch about they'll bitch about "build" quality🙄😂
nevertheless, just ordered one myself
I bought it and I like it ....but it is a noisy machine ...getting a clean sound is almost impossimble
what you say in 19:33 ? pls : a digldgker LFO ?
Hello, yes digital LFO ;) Cheers
i would switch to german ;)
👍👍
I just cancled my order for the neutron... Getting delayed by 3 months now. Fucking sux. I'll buy a tanzbär instead :)
"The case is cheap".. And next thing he say "its cheap aluminium". Dude you say allot of crap here. Aluminium case is NOT cheap! Plastic is cheap case. Aluminum is the best sht you can get. You dont know anything, yet you make review. Aluminium is shielding from magnetic interfearance. It dont rust. This case is painted so it probably never corrode and you say its cheap?? What else would you prefer instead of aluminium? Maybe you ment thin, but cheap is a wrong term for alu casing.
Beware of what you say so you don't get sued by Uli. Apparently he doesn't like free speech.
I'm totally free what I can say but mainly it depends how you say it. The language you use is important ;) Even KORG, Moog etc. have problems with rude language ;) Cheers
You certainly are : ) but it doesn't depend on how you say it. That's the thing with free speech. You can say almost anything in what way you want. (Almost anything because some things are actually illegal to say even in Europe and USA e.g.)
So there's a difference here isn't it? I never heard of any other synth manufacturer that has filed a law suit because someone said or wrote something they didn't like hearing. But I might be wrong? The thing is, Uli IS a shameless copycat. He should just deal with it and not behave like a bloody idiot. The problem with building factories in China is that you have to deal with the regime. Apparently he took the CCP's non-democratic culture to him quite easily.
@@cornerliston its called bullshit :) its ok that they sued someone...
This synthesizer is great, but your english is horror.
1968heger sorry I'm not a native English speaker so I give a sh.. how I sound. I speak 4 languages and so it's normal that I'm not perfect! I make what I love so if you support this channel it's not a big thing how I sound ;) If not I invite you to visit other channels Thanks for watching. Cheers ;)
SYNTH ANATOMY I had no problem understanding you at all. Great review!
Your English was fine. Please ignore this fool and keep up the great reviews.
There's always one! The review is lucid, well presented, and any criticism is qualified. If you cannot be positive....
Note, that you are in a minority of one. A great and very useful review. Thanks synth anatomy .
I hate to see this kind of stupid comment. You speak English very well. Your videos are splendid. That guy is a turkey.
