Would a stereo out be too much to ask for?īut because this is a prototype/mock-up we have no idea how it sounds and if it gives the original a run for its money. Oh, and it’s 8-voice polyphonic but seemingly has a mono output, just like the Pro-800. Sadly, despite it being the first Moog to feature user patch memory storage, its membrane controls pre-dated those of the DX7 and were even less useful on an analogue synth.īehringer seems to have repurposed the front panel from their recent Poly-800 and, in a moment of originality, replaced those membrane switches with actual knobs and switches.

It supplied the bass for ‘Blue Monday’ by New Order, was all over ‘Eliminator’ by ZZ Top, was “played” by Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode and kinda looked cool. Released in 1981, the OG Source was a monophonic bass monster. It now seems that they’ve turned their attention to the Moog Source, albeit in a polyphonic way. The Moog back catalogue has inspired numerous products in the Behringer range. Expect the price to be in the Neutron ballpark. As always, we’re devoid of any audio examples. Whether it sounds anything like it is yet to be seen. Housed in their now familiar desktop box that can also be Eurorack-mounted, the 2-XM could be a very affordable way of getting something that looks like a TVS into your rig. Apparently, it is now ready for production. Maybe this had something to do with the shenanigans surrounding their acquisition of the Oberheim brand and subsequent handing back to Tom himself. I’m also aware of my excessive use of “quotation marks”! Let’s see what entered the Behringer pipeline… 2-XMīehringer teased the Oberheim TVS-inspired 2-XM some time ago and then it all went quiet. I could list many more, but I just don’t have the time or inclination. All quiet on THAT front at the time of going to press. For example, it has been a few years since they “revealed” their alleged take on the Yamaha CS-80. But hey ho, we work with what we’re given.īehringer has a propensity to tease a myriad ideas and products, some that exist, others (mostly) that do not.

And that word can often be haphazard and disjointed. Instead, they use their social media presence to spread the word. They shun the regular music technology press, us included, believing that we are some kind of evil cabal of “paid-for” reviewers and “naysayers”. It can be said that Behringer has a “unique” way of dealing with news and information dissemination.
