I really admire and love you Uli Behringer for your passion and creativity. I been sticking with your Brand since 1995 and the few times ( just two times),...the products failed you and your german staff helped me solve warranty imidietly, I am a fan for life,.As a musicshop salesmann for over 20 yrs, i sold loads of Behringer equipment to happy people,....Behringer is a movement of trust and expansion, and the outcome is love, joy and passion,...it keeps people together and creative. That is what the universe is built upon!.... From the bottom of my heart i thank the staff and Uli Behringer for never stop the creativity and passion. Love Cheers from Sweden
Behringer are a bit like AMD - no one thought much of them for a long time. But in the last 2 - 3 years or so they have released some amazing, affordable products that are well made and offer amazing value. They have challenged and shaken up the whole industry. Well done!!
AMD have not the same sales philosopy. The root of the Behringer philosophy is to give customers cheap, but still good audio equipment. AMD is charging much if they could have. They are not just making cheap stuff. The are also in the enterprise marked.
Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video.Elation to you and the company endeavors as well customers. Reminiscent of Brian Eno when he realized or "discovered "the subtle and nuances of AMBIENT Music.Happy Birthday Herr Uli. Bliss
I left my music dream behind and now I want my son to follow that dream. I left that dream to be a taxi driver and support my family in NYC where everything is expensive. Studio hardwares are very expensive but Behringer help people with low income to bring that musician dream to life with affordable equipment. My son is 10 now and one day I will buy him a real synthesizer and that will be Behringer. For now he play with some softwares and I hope that one day he will be the musician that I never was. Happy that your company are helping kids, Congrats Behringer
I’m a high school science teacher in Clayton, OK. We are a small, rural school in one of the poorest counties in Oklahoma. I would love to see these kids learn, express themselves, and follow their passion of making music. I have demonstrated the neutron in labs. Many of the kids were amazed and fascinated. Unfortunately, most of them will never be able to own one. We would greatly appreciate and welcome any generosity Behringer offers. Thanks, Uli. Thanks Behringer team.
This Company made me come back to Music, Uli's passion for making great products is inspiring people to have dreams just like he did when he was younger :)
Congratulations Uli! Happy Birthday to your wonderful company! I've been using your gear for as long as it's been available in the USA. Your equipment made so many wonderful records possible for me over the decades. I thank you with my whole heart. Prost!
a really great place to consider donating those synths is the free music instrument library in Sacramento, Musiclandria. They help people learn and explore any instrument on their catalog by lending their instruments for free! They are very patient and cooperative in everyone's learning process, and even offer a space in their home to practice. Everyone here is extremely sweet and supportive to anyone who comes in. It is mostly volunteer-run. I've checked out a couple of instruments myself, and will always be forever grateful to them for my development in using the drum machine.
Uli, my heart goes out to you as a child looking in that shop. I wish I could go back in time and give you the synthesizer you wanted, but if I did I'm not sure you would have gone on your incredible journey. Keep making synthesizers!!!
🙏 Really very grateful and thankful to this great personality because many musicians, directors and producers like us love Behringer for it's quality and affordability. Thank you so much 🙏😍
I’ve never been exorbitantly wealthy and was quite poorer growing up. Behringer, Squire, Alesis, and Korg opened up a lot of doors for me as a young musician. Behringer in particular. Now many years later, it’s come full circle. I’ve owned 3 of their synths so far and currently own the Odyssey and have the Crave on preorder. Happy and proud of what they’ve done and continue to do for musicians who aren’t swamped with cash. And the synths are damn good, too.
Congratulations, Uli and everyone at Behringer & Music Tribe!!! Uli, you're a true inspiration for many of us, a visionary and a passionate musician that really cares for and understand musicians. And your teams are just amazing. I had the opportunity to visit your Music Tribe facilities in California and the people there were really awesome, passionate and talented too! All the best for this next 30 years!!!
I'm just here to say I'm thankful to Behringer. Without you guys many of my bands, songs and performances, much of my knowledge in music wouldn't exist if it wasn't for your products and their quality. Wish you the best !
This video made me emotional 🥺 Thank you Uli for never quitting on your dream. Your vision has become a reality and improved the lives of millions of human beings myself included. Thank you Music Tribe and all of your employees. You are simply the best value for your money, and no other company comes close to you. Your story and your love for music is so inspirational. I hope those 1000 synths land on the hands of the children with the most needs. I would suggest focusing on Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Thanks Behringer! Thanks to you I could afford a lot of music equipment that helped me achieve what I wanted. I'm with you since 03, when my parents bought me my first Behringer mixer. In almost 20 years I owned a lot of your stuff and I plan to own a lot more too! How can I forget my DDX3216, your first digital mixer, that made me very proud of what I could do with it! Thanks Uli and cheers for at least 30 years more!!! Marco
Happy Birthday Uli.... Wishing you more fruitful and prosperous years ahead.. I love your good works and your products has really opened our eyes and gave us the privilege to use equipments we never thought we could afford.... Uli is just like Elon Musk making new innovations and changing the world, setting new standards.... I celebrate you.... Pls am a young sound engineer who loves to explore more and have more Indepth understanding.... I need your help and Don't forget us here in Nigeria.... Your Synths are highly needed especially by my kids... Looking forward to have your free gift for them.
Wish i would have had the opportunity to play with synthesizers when i was little. Now, over 40 years later, there's nothing more frustrating than wanting something really bad, but not having the funds for it. The prices for all those lovable synthesizers has skyrocketed into the stratosphere. So thanks Behringer! Looking forward to future releases of those must have synths.
I recently went into a music store and said I was looking for a Behringer Model D. The owner told me he refused to stock Behringer products as they are rubbish. It seems that the brand is suffering from the past. In spite of the advice, I bought a Model D, a Neutron and an Ultragraph Pro and they are just brilliant. I hope that demand from the public will change the negative reputation that the name has. Thank you so much, Uli. You suffered from your inability to buy the material you wanted and decided to build your own. Unlike many, who would have seen this as an opportunity to make lots of money by charging extortionate prices, you realised that there are many in the same situation and you decided to produce quality instruments at low cost so others can fulfil their dreams. Happy 30th birthday and looking forward to the next 30 years.
I think they're overcoming this reputation pretty well. I was one of the anti-Behringer diehards because of having so much gear of theirs that had failed. I was leery about giving them a shot again, but they've yet to let me down. Even Sweetwater started to carry their products, and they used to be vocal about not supporting Behringer. I've got three of their synths, two on preorder, various TC processors, and I get excited with every new Behringer announcement. (A four oscillator MiniMoog! How cool is that!?) Whenever there's gear I need, Behringer and their subsidiaries are who I think of now to see what they have and how it could fit my workflow. Behry has really turned themselves around in a big way!
I remember the time when B was considered less than relevant and of apparently poor quality. While that was partially true with some of their products, it wasn't enough to put me off. I still have some stuff from way back then, and it is still functioning. Much of my outboard fx is more modern B, and it's great. I like the brand.
Behringer begleitete mich bei meinen ersten musikalischen „Gehversuchen“... und ist seitdem nicht mehr wegzudenken. Auf das euch die Ideen nicht ausgehen mögen. Happy Birthday and all the best for the next xx years. Macht weiter so.
Thank you very much Behringer, I decided to pursue my musician career, it is a very long long trip but willing to do it all my life. My first synthesizer was the Deepmind 12, which is amazing product. Do not stop helping musician like us that have a hard time with money. You guys have a such inspirational story. And happy 30th year anniversary.
Thank you Mr. Uli for sharing your passion, it means a lot from a human point of view 🙏. Nowadays it's easy to forget that behind everything there is a human mind, and it's beautiful to feel the love that's been put into work. If you need help to "teach" Kids fundamentals of music/piano/maths/synth...I'm in. For the synth gifts I could look at someone who lost his house by earthquake, here in Italy we had more than one in these years. Again, thank you 👍
I own a set of Truth B2031s by these guys. Fucking love them. Affordable, reliable and high quality. Anyone getting into music production or anything musical at all, I always recommend them to get some Behringer equipment. Top notch, guys, here's to 30 more!
Uli Behringer: The Patron Saint of synthesizers. Please do not falter on your excellence and quality that your initial salvo of synths have carried. Please do not stop adding additional features vs the original synths you cloned. Please do continue on with poly-d versions aka hyper drive versions of already released synths in your arsenal. Please keep being excellent. Thanks for bringing the unreachable to the masses of us synth nerds.
Very kind of you! Various places that comprise the School of Rock would not just reach individual children but children year after year. We have one here in Henderson, NV. There is a branch in Phoenix and many more. As a long time user of Behringer gear, thank you and Happy Birthday!
Hats down! Uli you are great man! Charity combined with creativity;) nice one. Great success to your company and all tribers and thanks for all those synths, love them;)
Happy Birthday Uli and the whole Behringer family. It's wonderful to have companies with such values understanding and working for their customers with passion, efficiency and love. Thank you guys for providing so much value
Uli mentioned about giving children the chance, or should I say access to more affordable instrument. When I was a kid, it was tough to access some products as you also stated. I often dreamed of owning big synths and other equipment. Sadly, I have seen a similar scenario reflected in my grandchildren. They don't seem to be teaching music lessons in England, or if they do, its an after school activity, and only then for those who are able to afford the costs. One of my eldest grand kids loves music, and that I am able to let them play on such items. It is thanks to you (Behringer), that I am able to offer them the opportunity to try things out for themselves. If you want to give kids the access to play your equipment, it might be worth approaching the education systems of any given country. I would love to see a generation of new musicians generating new material, new ideas and so on. Happy anniversary.
Happy birthday Behringer! my first audio interface and mixer was Behringer. Bought a second audio interface a year ago and I'm still happy using both to this day. Thanks for making all of the incredible products.
This is really awesome! I just came back to the hotel after an amazing day with an insanely talented [and famous but hush hush for now!] jazz vocalist & I set up a little studio for her based on ... Behringer mixer and other assorted gear! We are recording some tunes for my documentary tomorrow, and here I am, RUclips serving me this vid! I have to honestly say that Behringer is doing stuff that I wish others were doing too = being affordable AND kick-ass !!! I am not mentioning some other established names that in the recent past opted for some questionable policies in regards to product line and customer service ... THANK YOU BEHRINGER & I shall give you credit when the film comes out in a year or so :)
addendum: i have to think of orgs for you guys but meantime what would be cool = check out social VR worlds like Sansar for outreach and marketing? Anyways = i am off to bed!
Uli's speech! Wow! If only I knew which underpass or tent city that shop owner now calls home, I'd love to shake his hand and tell him how thankful I am for showing Uli the door, because he has no idea how many doors his one single action that day has opened for millions!
Amazing.... Uli Behringer, very inspiring story of your vision and dream. 30 years of helping out all musicians around the world. All in the spirit and in the love for music... a language we all understand and can relate to. Here’s to another 30 years Behringer! Much love and respect from Montreal Quebec Canada. #Intellimix
Mad props!👌👍 the very first thing I got music equipment wise was a Behringer mixer back in 2001. You guys have help me in one way or another ever since.. thank you!🎹🎧💫😵👍BrAp oN!!¡!✋✌
It's awesome that you're giving away the instruments to lesser fortunate children, I respect that. I haven't always been the biggest fan of behringer ever since I saw all the old synth designs get ripped off but from a consumer's perspective it's very good and I can see why it is how it is.
What a lovely thing to do! I'd like to nominate The Library of MusicLandria in Sacramento, California, USA to receive a synth. MusicLandria is a non-profit musical instrument lending library that puts instruments in the hands of kids, families, and artists in need. They let folks borrow instruments for free, and bring musical instrument petting zoos to schools and community events. Many folks have played their first synthesizer at MusicLandria. It would be a great way to bring Behringer synths to the community.
3 things: 1. A really really BIIIIIIG Thank you Uli and team, for your spirit and vision! 2. A trustfull organisation for Greece is : "Το Χαμόγελο του Παιδιού" (Child's Smile). 3. Please consider an opening to the genre of profssional arranger keyboards! "Leading" companies do as THEY want, and they never listen to their customers...! I could very happily contribute to this project, if may adopted by the Tribe! Cheers from Athens, Greece!
Congratulations Uli and the teams... and so many thanks for all the gear over the years! And its getting better and better. Love my Behringer synths the most. Starfish (kids music charity) in Lewes would love a behringer synth I'm sure.
It's funny, my stage setup (once my stuff arrives) is a Nord Stage 3 and a Model D. Which do you think is gonna leave more of an impression on a crowd? The $4300 board or the $250 module? 😉 I've never used anything that sounds so gigantic and full. It can shake a room when run through a good system
That was a great speech, Uli. You are a true visionair. The Steve Jobs of musical instruments, selling products without the Apple price tag (more like Casio) and since a couple of years also the quality of high end cult products we desperately wanted for 3 decades. 30 Years ago is exactly the period in time when I got interested in synthesizers, but realizad I couldn't afford that dream. I wouldn't tell you are sixty. I'd give you twenty years younger. It must be the positive vibe that's hanging around at your company. Congrats and success to you all.
I really wouldn't compare Uli to Steve. Apple is a shit company with overpriced crap release the same shit in a different box every single year. I remember that there was an iMac with a pricetag of 15 000 USD, for way less more money you could build your own computer with better specs.
So great! Please consider donating some synthesizers to the Library of MusicLandria in Sacramento, CA. A non-profit musical instrument lending library is a perfect fit for this! Thank you, Behringer!
I have been teaching kids music for over 2o years... teaching high schools for over 12yrs.. my dream and desire is to start a school where i live now, Rocky Mount NC. i'll be able to do in another year. So in advance i would like to ask for your support for the kids. i love, use and purchase Behringer equipment throughout the years. i'll be in touch ..... thanks dink
There are companies which deliver their loopingmachines with a USB 1.0 Interface (yes, still in 2019) or their keyboards with a crappy little LCD monochrome Display. This kind of avarice is what customers take notice of. Behringer doesn't do so. What I receive from Behriger is always more than fully featured. If I should point out the best purchase of my live, it would surely be my XR-18 mixer. I've never bought anything before with a better bang for the buck. No car, no banana, no instrument, no kitchen device, no bottle of beer, simply nothing. Congratulations, Uli
Happy Birthday Behringer and thanks for your products, innovation and passion. I would like to recommend Plymouth Music Zone (Plymouth UK). They provide musical participation, instruction and recording to young people who are economically disadvantaged, have physical or mental disabilities or have issues with their mental health and wellbeing. A Behringer synth would bring joy to many.
Hi Uli, what very nice birthday present! 1000 Synths for kids who cannot afford. Wow! May I suggest the FathersCentre Jongbloedplein (Bilal) in The Hague (Den Haag) as one of the lucky ones? They help poor families to get back on track. Totally operated by vollunteers. Would be great!
I am a music teacher at Patrick Henry High School in North Minneapolis- we have lots of creative students who are ready to create their own music, but just don't have access to the resources to do it. Donating some synths to any school or school district would be an amazing way to get kids excited about synthesis. At my school, the students are very interested in hip hop and making beats, but few have explored sound design from scratch. I'd love to have a cool synth to teach them with!
Happy Birthday! Loved Behringer for fundamentals like DI boxes. Needed those to play live but $100+ a pop for name brand ones meant you wouldn’t eat for a week. But $30 or so for a Behringer and it worked just as well. Now along with Korg & Arturia they’re making analog synths for everyone, not just snooty elitist “collectors” who usually don’t even make music. ❤️ Uli’s story about getting kicked out of a music store. That hit home, the same thing happened to me!
Happy birthday Behringer, and thanks for making my Deepmind, my mixer, and very importently, My 3 little tube preamps, that beef All my sound up, now THAT'S magic, and thanx for. A fine speech, Uli, so timely and real, and I KNOW, there's kids out there, who will be very very grateful😘👌✨
@@Raminmarciano Tube Ultragain 100, one between my instruments, mic's and my mixer, - then I Have one on each channel, between my mixer out and my power amp in, and I even had great succes with them, between the power amp and the loudspeakers, - they are very very versatile, and makes my studio sound like a 50K deal instead of the 5K deal, it is 😉✨
@@Raminmarciano I picked them up in a secondhand thrift shop, 10 USD a pop, so I'm not sure what there story or pedigree is, but they sure make a difference on the sound, I just found out, I use them as "past amps" at the moment, and they simply warms the signal up, before hitting the loudspeakers, I just checked my Pre Amp, the one I use "correct" and it's an "ART" (Applied Research And Technology), maybe that got a better rap but anyway I'm super happy for Behringer, and if I hadn't bought my Grandmother, I Would have a long good look at the new Poly 4,- have a perfect day or night or whatever time you're embedded in, - 😉👍🏻
Nice one Uli and all at Behringer. I have a few bits of kit of yours, great additions to the studio. I was remarking the other day 'why does Behringer produce clones such as a moog clone etc, when Behringer are more than capable of producing kit that stands alone and can compete with the likes of moog?' Having seen this, I now understand your ethos. And yeah, fantastic insight and uptake on those that cannot afford. I too hail from one of the poorest of communities in North Manchester. We never had monies for music lessons or instruments and in such an area, it was soldiering or labor work. After service and disability striking, i decided to try my hand at music production, having never been accomplished in any one instrument but, having a knowingness of music that sits dormant in all of us. I found then, a school that introduced me to VST and DAW's and together, with a meagre pension I learned midi implementation and began to build up a studio with a small budget. I am cracking on now, I don't want to be a pop star but would have loved to have earned a butty out of music but, it's the creativity that counts for me. It helps me lose PTSD from service career and some trax, are quite passable. The main thing is, Manchester School of Electronic Music, and the likes of yourself, have similar ethos and dedication to helping those who are inspired by music, to get the creativity out of them and to be heard by many where, money, and class, and status has never enabled those from the poorest of communities to express their true potential. Your kudos, ethos and awareness are very much what's needed more in the World. These days, money, is killing everything of value, but still, there is the odd Oasis that stands alone from global corporate gluttony; Oasis, such as Behringer. Nice one. Happy Birthday!
Thank you Behringer for making gear affordable, especially recording gear, microphones, mixers. I couldn't afforded my 16-microphone orchestral recording setup with products from other companies, as I'm still a student and it matters a lot whether something I want to do costs 1000€ or 4000€.
Places like the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and other places could really use those synthesizers because of the amount stuff that was lost. These synthesizers would bring smiles to many that seem like their futures have been lost.
Would love to see the Library of Musiclandria in Sacramento receive a donation, they do such good work and could definitely put new Behringer gear to good use!!!
Ja Danke Behinger, vor 20 Jahren hab ich den 1832 FX Mixer gekauft, eigentlich nur um CD Player etc,na ihr wisst schon,ich wollt halt fetzten. Heute nach 20 Jahren denke ich, ihr habt mir eine preisliche Chance gegeben, Musik zu entdecken und zu verstehen. Ich habe mir alles alleine erarbeitet und selber beigebracht. Es ist für mich ein Hobby geworden, das ich nicht mehr missen möchte. Und es macht wahnsinnig Spaß. Heute ist daraus ein kleines Musikstudio entstanden. Und dafür danke ich euch. Der 1832 ist immer noch am Start. Viel Glück und alles Gute!
Yeah Uli...they say no..you strive to say OH YEAH ! Had that synth shop kickout vibe...ahhh that moment kinda made you thou ...well helped..path choice lol..well done HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
My salutations to this humble man who allowed many musicians pursue their dreams with great products at sometimes 1/10th the price. And he delivered quality. I come from India where there are thousands with talent and deprived for funds. A competition among a billion people where five winners get their prized possession thanks to a man whose aim is to promote hidden talent. Thank you Uli. 👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Musiclandria in Sacramento, California is a wonderful program offering accessibility to various music equipment for people to check out and explore and would really benefit from a wonderful company like you Behringer
Uli is 60? Wow! A truly inspiring individual and what a fantastic company he created. I'm imaging what it would have been like to have had the opportunity to play with a synthesizer whilst I was at primary school. It would have been amazing and I'm sure it would have opened up my mind to many new possibilities much sooner. The schools my children go to, do have a 'safe' interest in music, and what I mean by that is they spend a small amount of time teaching some children traditional instruments, ie violin, cornet, tenor horn etc. These lessons are usually carried out by volunteer or part-time staff supplied by the local authorities and children can often find them unengaging. Imagine how incredible it would be if it was possible for children as young as 7 or 8 to experience electronic music creation and synthesis?! Experimenting creating brand new sounds and music is a gateway to creativity, opening up ones mind to possibilities beyond the norm! If Behringer could get even just a single synthesizer into just one primary school, and just one child becomes engaged, just think how much more enriched their love of music could become. Music matters, it makes people feel right.
Girls Rock Camp in Bellingham, WA is a great organization and would love to be able to pass on the greatness of the synthesizer onto young aspiring musicians! ❤
Congrats!!!!, 30 years of hard work that are rewarderd. My first electric guitar was a Behringer guitar that came in a beginers pack with a GM108 Amplifier, I have them yet and still using it since 10 years ago. Also I have many guitar pedals and I use it with electro-acoustic guitar and they work really awesome, just yesterday I bought another 2 pedals, the Compressor / Limiter CL9 and Ultra Chorus UC200 and with them I have now 9 Behringer pedals, including the legendaries Reverb Machine and Echo Machine that are very apreciated now. Now, I see Behringer products anywhere, since beginers musician to professional producer. You has given to the people the oportunity of get good gear with a good prices, and that is very very wonderfull, I wish you the best for the next years, you are amazing people and a amazing company. Greets from Guatemala.
I recommend the El Paso County Juvenile Probation Department- El Paso, Texas USA. I've counseled incarcerated youth using music, and with my own equipment. There just isn't enough support for youths in the system. Music saved me- grew up poor and with limited support. Music can guide them toward change as well. Congrats on the 30 years of making a difference!
Keep up the good work, Uli and team! My DeepMind 12 is looking forward to getting big brothers with the UBX-a and DS-80. Respect for your hard work and innovation.
I love your passion, and achievements. You guys are amazing!
I really admire and love you Uli Behringer for your passion and creativity. I been sticking with your Brand since 1995 and the few times ( just two times),...the products failed you and your german staff helped me solve warranty imidietly, I am a fan for life,.As a musicshop salesmann for over 20 yrs, i sold loads of Behringer equipment to happy people,....Behringer is a movement of trust and expansion, and the outcome is love, joy and passion,...it keeps people together and creative. That is what the universe is built upon!.... From the bottom of my heart i thank the staff and Uli Behringer for never stop the creativity and passion. Love Cheers from Sweden
Behringer are a bit like AMD - no one thought much of them for a long time. But in the last 2 - 3 years or so they have released some amazing, affordable products that are well made and offer amazing value. They have challenged and shaken up the whole industry. Well done!!
Really true!
Hmm I understand the analogy. But AMD was ahead of Intel with their Athlon XP. So it's not the first time they've shaken the business
Spot on comparison bro
AMD have not the same sales philosopy. The root of the Behringer philosophy is to give customers cheap, but still good audio equipment. AMD is charging much if they could have. They are not just making cheap stuff. The are also in the enterprise marked.
I want that XR18
Congrats and happy birthday. Thank you Uli and Behringer for making my hobby fun, exciting, and affordable!
Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video.Elation to you and the company endeavors as well customers. Reminiscent of Brian Eno when he realized or "discovered "the subtle and nuances of AMBIENT Music.Happy Birthday Herr Uli. Bliss
I left my music dream behind and now I want my son to follow that dream. I left that dream to be a taxi driver and support my family in NYC where everything is expensive.
Studio hardwares are very expensive but Behringer help people with low income to bring that musician dream to life with affordable equipment. My son is 10 now and one day I will buy him a real synthesizer and that will be Behringer. For now he play with some softwares and I hope that one day he will be the musician that I never was. Happy that your company are helping kids, Congrats Behringer
Thanks Uli. Your products are very much appreciated. Your vision is sound!
I’m a high school science teacher in Clayton, OK. We are a small, rural school in one of the poorest counties in Oklahoma.

Thank you Uli! You are a gift to the music community ! You and your team!
I teach Electronic Music at Corning-Painted Post High School. My students would love to have synths to use!
This Company made me come back to Music, Uli's passion for making great products is inspiring people to have dreams just like he did when he was younger :)
Congratulations Uli! Happy Birthday to your wonderful company! I've been using your gear for as long as it's been available in the USA. Your equipment made so many wonderful records possible for me over the decades. I thank you with my whole heart. Prost!
Behringer has always been the saviour when it comes to synths and gears affordable , Congratulations and keep hearing us and making us happy

🙏 Really very grateful and thankful to this great personality because many musicians, directors and producers like us love Behringer for it's quality and affordability. Thank you so much 🙏😍
I’ve never been exorbitantly wealthy and was quite poorer growing up. Behringer, Squire, Alesis, and Korg opened up a lot of doors for me as a young musician. Behringer in particular. Now many years later, it’s come full circle. I’ve owned 3 of their synths so far and currently own the Odyssey and have the Crave on preorder.

Congratulations, Uli and everyone at Behringer & Music Tribe!!!
Uli, you're a true inspiration for many of us, a visionary and a passionate musician that really cares for and understand musicians. And your teams are just amazing. I had the opportunity to visit your Music Tribe facilities in California and the people there were really awesome, passionate and talented too!
All the best for this next 30 years!!!
I'm just here to say I'm thankful to Behringer. Without you guys many of my bands, songs and performances, much of my knowledge in music wouldn't exist if it wasn't for your products and their quality. Wish you the best !

I love your good works and your products has really opened our eyes and gave us the privilege to use equipments we never thought we could afford.... Uli is just like Elon Musk making new innovations and changing the world, setting new standards.... I celebrate you....
Pls am a young sound engineer who loves to explore more and have more Indepth understanding.... I need your help and Don't forget us here in Nigeria.... Your Synths are highly needed especially by my kids... Looking forward to have your free gift for them.

The prices for all those lovable synthesizers has skyrocketed into the stratosphere. So thanks Behringer! Looking forward to future releases of those must have synths.
There are a few classics no one wants that are very underrated and cheap.
I feel the same way man, and I’m only gonna be 25
Behringer had tons of analog synth now
Happy Anniversary!!! Half of my studio is your products. You make Dreams come True!!
I recently went into a music store and said I was looking for a Behringer Model D. The owner told me he refused to stock Behringer products as they are rubbish. It seems that the brand is suffering from the past. In spite of the advice, I bought a Model D, a Neutron and an Ultragraph Pro and they are just brilliant. I hope that demand from the public will change the negative reputation that the name has.
Thank you so much, Uli. You suffered from your inability to buy the material you wanted and decided to build your own. Unlike many, who would have seen this as an opportunity to make lots of money by charging extortionate prices, you realised that there are many in the same situation and you decided to produce quality instruments at low cost so others can fulfil their dreams.
Happy 30th birthday and looking forward to the next 30 years.
I think they're overcoming this reputation pretty well. I was one of the anti-Behringer diehards because of having so much gear of theirs that had failed. I was leery about giving them a shot again, but they've yet to let me down. Even Sweetwater started to carry their products, and they used to be vocal about not supporting Behringer. I've got three of their synths, two on preorder, various TC processors, and I get excited with every new Behringer announcement. (A four oscillator MiniMoog! How cool is that!?) Whenever there's gear I need, Behringer and their subsidiaries are who I think of now to see what they have and how it could fit my workflow. Behry has really turned themselves around in a big way!
And Happy Birthday :)
I remember the time when B was considered less than relevant and of apparently poor quality. While that was partially true with some of their products, it wasn't enough to put me off. I still have some stuff from way back then, and it is still functioning. Much of my outboard fx is more modern B, and it's great. I like the brand.
Really thanks for your amazing products. Your story is an example of real passion and love. Your "axes" are in our "arsenal". Sonas Aurorae
Behringer begleitete mich bei meinen ersten musikalischen „Gehversuchen“... und ist seitdem nicht mehr wegzudenken. Auf das euch die Ideen nicht ausgehen mögen. Happy Birthday and all the best for the next xx years. Macht weiter so.
From Spain, thank u so much for your work and efforts and your humble way how to handle when there is no resources. Respect!
Thank you very much Behringer, I decided to pursue my musician career, it is a very long long trip but willing to do it all my life. My first synthesizer was the Deepmind 12, which is amazing product. Do not stop helping musician like us that have a hard time with money. You guys have a such inspirational story. And happy 30th year anniversary.
More than a year has passed - Where are the free synths for kids?
Congratulation 🍀🍀🍀 the wishlist of Behringer Equipment is growing in my studio 👍
Thanks Uli for sharing your dream with us and making it a reality.👍
Thank you Mr. Uli for sharing your passion, it means a lot from a human point of view 🙏. Nowadays it's easy to forget that behind everything there is a human mind, and it's beautiful to feel the love that's been put into work. If you need help to "teach" Kids fundamentals of music/piano/maths/synth...I'm in. For the synth gifts I could look at someone who lost his house by earthquake, here in Italy we had more than one in these years. Again, thank you 👍
Uli looks like a James Bond villain who's going to take over the world with his reasonably priced synthesisers
He is like the Gabe of Music equipment
I own a set of Truth B2031s by these guys. Fucking love them. Affordable, reliable and high quality. Anyone getting into music production or anything musical at all, I always recommend them to get some Behringer equipment. Top notch, guys, here's to 30 more!
MASSIVE THANKS. Your dream and hard work has paid off for so many.
Congratulations!
Uli Behringer: The Patron Saint of synthesizers. Please do not falter on your excellence and quality that your initial salvo of synths have carried. Please do not stop adding additional features vs the original synths you cloned. Please do continue on with poly-d versions aka hyper drive versions of already released synths in your arsenal. Please keep being excellent. Thanks for bringing the unreachable to the masses of us synth nerds.
Very kind of you! Various places that comprise the School of Rock would not just reach individual children but children year after year. We have one here in Henderson, NV. There is a branch in Phoenix and many more. As a long time user of Behringer gear, thank you and Happy Birthday!
Hats down! Uli you are great man! Charity combined with creativity;) nice one. Great success to your company and all tribers and thanks for all those synths, love them;)
Happy Birthday Uli and the whole Behringer family. It's wonderful to have companies with such values understanding and working for their customers with passion, efficiency and love. Thank you guys for providing so much value
Love you guys. Happy 30th. Keep making people happy, that is what the world needs.
Uli mentioned about giving children the chance, or should I say access to more affordable instrument. When I was a kid, it was tough to access some products as you also stated. I often dreamed of owning big synths and other equipment.
Sadly, I have seen a similar scenario reflected in my grandchildren. They don't seem to be teaching music lessons in England, or if they do, its an after school activity, and only then for those who are able to afford the costs. One of my eldest grand kids loves music, and that I am able to let them play on such items.
It is thanks to you (Behringer), that I am able to offer them the opportunity to try things out for themselves.
If you want to give kids the access to play your equipment, it might be worth approaching the education systems of any given country. I would love to see a generation of new musicians generating new material, new ideas and so on.
Happy anniversary.
I really like this new direction Behringer is taking with the synths and drum machines! This makes me excited for what’s coming next!
Congratulation and a big thanks! the more Behringer grew, the more it looks you understand our needs...
Happy birthday Behringer! my first audio interface and mixer was Behringer. Bought a second audio interface a year ago and I'm still happy using both to this day. Thanks for making all of the incredible products.
Thank you Uli and all the Behringer team for all your work
This is really awesome! I just came back to the hotel after an amazing day with an insanely talented [and famous but hush hush for now!] jazz vocalist & I set up a little studio for her based on ... Behringer mixer and other assorted gear! We are recording some tunes for my documentary tomorrow, and here I am, RUclips serving me this vid! I have to honestly say that Behringer is doing stuff that I wish others were doing too = being affordable AND kick-ass !!! I am not mentioning some other established names that in the recent past opted for some questionable policies in regards to product line and customer service ... THANK YOU BEHRINGER & I shall give you credit when the film comes out in a year or so :)
addendum: i have to think of orgs for you guys but meantime what would be cool = check out social VR worlds like Sansar for outreach and marketing? Anyways = i am off to bed!
Congratulations Uli & a massive thank you for helping my dreams come true. Here’s to more continued success 👍🏾
A big thanks to one and all at Behringer for some great products and most of all 30 years of outstanding quality.Now living my dream .
Uli's speech! Wow! If only I knew which underpass or tent city that shop owner now calls home, I'd love to shake his hand and tell him how thankful I am for showing Uli the door, because he has no idea how many doors his one single action that day has opened for millions!
Ha! Well spoken!
Unfortunately, it's far too easy to say things you don't mean. I'm glad Uli was so strong though 🙂
Gerhard's out of business......ordered one hundred Paia 2700 Kits
What a humble genius, congratulations Uli! 😍
Wonderful video, wonderful life!
Amazing.... Uli Behringer, very inspiring story of your vision and dream. 30 years of helping out all musicians around the world. All in the spirit and in the love for music... a language we all understand and can relate to. Here’s to another 30 years Behringer! Much love and respect from Montreal Quebec Canada.
#Intellimix
Happy anniversary and here's to another 30 glorious years, you absolute legends.
Mad props!👌👍 the very first thing I got music equipment wise was a Behringer mixer back in 2001. You guys have help me in one way or another ever since.. thank you!🎹🎧💫😵👍BrAp oN!!¡!✋✌
It's awesome that you're giving away the instruments to lesser fortunate children, I respect that. I haven't always been the biggest fan of behringer ever since I saw all the old synth designs get ripped off but from a consumer's perspective it's very good and I can see why it is how it is.
What a lovely thing to do! I'd like to nominate The Library of MusicLandria in Sacramento, California, USA to receive a synth. MusicLandria is a non-profit musical instrument lending library that puts instruments in the hands of kids, families, and artists in need. They let folks borrow instruments for free, and bring musical instrument petting zoos to schools and community events. Many folks have played their first synthesizer at MusicLandria. It would be a great way to bring Behringer synths to the community.
Thank you. You have opened up the world of music to so many people.
Thank you!!!! Good luck in every new product that you create !!!
3 things:
1. A really really BIIIIIIG Thank you Uli and team, for your spirit and vision!
2. A trustfull organisation for Greece is : "Το Χαμόγελο του Παιδιού" (Child's Smile).
3. Please consider an opening to the genre of profssional arranger keyboards! "Leading" companies do as THEY want, and they never listen to their customers...!
I could very happily contribute to this project, if may adopted by the Tribe!
Cheers from Athens, Greece!
Forget the HATERS! What you have done and are DOING.... Is ASTONISHING! Never stop. And PLEASE Keep those fantastic SYNTHS COMING!
Congratulations Uli and the teams... and so many thanks for all the gear over the years! And its getting better and better. Love my Behringer synths the most.
Starfish (kids music charity) in Lewes would love a behringer synth I'm sure.
It's funny, my stage setup (once my stuff arrives) is a Nord Stage 3 and a Model D.
Which do you think is gonna leave more of an impression on a crowd? The $4300 board or the $250 module? 😉
I've never used anything that sounds so gigantic and full. It can shake a room when run through a good system
That was a great speech, Uli. You are a true visionair. The Steve Jobs of musical instruments, selling products without the Apple price tag (more like Casio) and since a couple of years also the quality of high end cult products we desperately wanted for 3 decades. 30 Years ago is exactly the period in time when I got interested in synthesizers, but realizad I couldn't afford that dream. I wouldn't tell you are sixty. I'd give you twenty years younger. It must be the positive vibe that's hanging around at your company. Congrats and success to you all.
I really wouldn't compare Uli to Steve. Apple is a shit company with overpriced crap release the same shit in a different box every single year. I remember that there was an iMac with a pricetag of 15 000 USD, for way less more money you could build your own computer with better specs.
@@padmad3k63 And that is why I added it has more like a Casio price tag to it. Apple products are not bad, but there are completely overpriced.
Thank you Uli and your amazing team at Behringer. Cheers!
Oh man i love you guys
You're simply the hope for alot of musicians exploring their dream sounds
Serious congrats, making a true mark on our industry with legacy, present and future products. Thanks Uli.
Thanks TC Electronics very good pedal
So great! Please consider donating some synthesizers to the Library of MusicLandria in Sacramento, CA. A non-profit musical instrument lending library is a perfect fit for this! Thank you, Behringer!
Ulli You are the Robinhood of the Musicans! Thank you very much for all.
I have been teaching kids music for over 2o years... teaching high schools for over 12yrs.. my dream and desire is to start a school where i live now, Rocky Mount NC. i'll be able to do in another year. So in advance i would like to ask for your support for the kids. i love, use and purchase Behringer equipment throughout the years. i'll be in touch ..... thanks dink
There are companies which deliver their loopingmachines with a USB 1.0 Interface (yes, still in 2019) or their keyboards with a crappy little LCD monochrome Display. This kind of avarice is what customers take notice of. Behringer doesn't do so. What I receive from Behriger is always more than fully featured. If I should point out the best purchase of my live, it would surely be my XR-18 mixer. I've never bought anything before with a better bang for the buck. No car, no banana, no instrument, no kitchen device, no bottle of beer, simply nothing. Congratulations, Uli
I love the price, sound and design that is the Pro Vs Mini and the JT-4000, thankyou Uli...
Thank you very much.
Happy Birthday Behringer and thanks for your products, innovation and passion.
I would like to recommend Plymouth Music Zone (Plymouth UK).
They provide musical participation, instruction and recording to young people who are economically disadvantaged, have physical or mental disabilities or have issues with their mental health and wellbeing. A Behringer synth would bring joy to many.
Musiclandria is a great organization helping put instruments in children's hands.
Congratulation Uri you deserved your success. Keep at it man. Cheers from Australia.
Hi Uli, what very nice birthday present! 1000 Synths for kids who cannot afford. Wow!
May I suggest the FathersCentre Jongbloedplein (Bilal) in The Hague (Den Haag) as one of the lucky ones? They help poor families to get back on track. Totally operated by vollunteers. Would be great!
I am a music teacher at Patrick Henry High School in North Minneapolis- we have lots of creative students who are ready to create their own music, but just don't have access to the resources to do it. Donating some synths to any school or school district would be an amazing way to get kids excited about synthesis. At my school, the students are very interested in hip hop and making beats, but few have explored sound design from scratch. I'd love to have a cool synth to teach them with!
Happy Birthday! Loved Behringer for fundamentals like DI boxes. Needed those to play live but $100+ a pop for name brand ones meant you wouldn’t eat for a week. But $30 or so for a Behringer and it worked just as well. Now along with Korg & Arturia they’re making analog synths for everyone, not just snooty elitist “collectors” who usually don’t even make music. ❤️ Uli’s story about getting kicked out of a music store. That hit home, the same thing happened to me!
I LOVE my MS101 it has changed my life
I Love my rd8!
Happy birthday Behringer, and thanks for making my Deepmind, my mixer, and very importently,
My 3 little tube preamps, that beef All my sound up, now THAT'S magic, and thanx for. A fine speech, Uli, so timely and real, and I KNOW, there's kids out there, who will be very very grateful😘👌✨
Which tubeamps do you have ? I want something to pair with my audient id22 😁
@@Raminmarciano Tube Ultragain 100, one between my instruments, mic's and my mixer, - then I Have one on each channel, between my mixer out and my power amp in, and I even had great succes with them, between the power amp and the loudspeakers, - they are very very versatile, and makes my studio sound like a 50K deal instead of the 5K deal, it is 😉✨
@@MikkelGrumBovin thank you very much man ! I will look into that !
I think ill stick to my audient preamps after reading some reviews. I would really advise you to Try it out. They are insanely good and quiet.
@@Raminmarciano I picked them up in a secondhand thrift shop, 10 USD a pop, so I'm not sure what there story or pedigree is, but they sure make a difference on the sound, I just found out, I use them as "past amps" at the moment, and they simply warms the signal up, before hitting the loudspeakers, I just checked my Pre Amp, the one I use "correct" and it's an "ART" (Applied Research And Technology), maybe that got a better rap but anyway I'm super happy for Behringer, and if I hadn't bought my Grandmother, I Would have a long good look at the new Poly 4,- have a perfect day or night or whatever time you're embedded in, - 😉👍🏻
Nice one Uli and all at Behringer. I have a few bits of kit of yours, great additions to the studio. I was remarking the other day 'why does Behringer produce clones such as a moog clone etc, when Behringer are more than capable of producing kit that stands alone and can compete with the likes of moog?' Having seen this, I now understand your ethos. And yeah, fantastic insight and uptake on those that cannot afford. I too hail from one of the poorest of communities in North Manchester. We never had monies for music lessons or instruments and in such an area, it was soldiering or labor work. After service and disability striking, i decided to try my hand at music production, having never been accomplished in any one instrument but, having a knowingness of music that sits dormant in all of us. I found then, a school that introduced me to VST and DAW's and together, with a meagre pension I learned midi implementation and began to build up a studio with a small budget. I am cracking on now, I don't want to be a pop star but would have loved to have earned a butty out of music but, it's the creativity that counts for me. It helps me lose PTSD from service career and some trax, are quite passable. The main thing is, Manchester School of Electronic Music, and the likes of yourself, have similar ethos and dedication to helping those who are inspired by music, to get the creativity out of them and to be heard by many where, money, and class, and status has never enabled those from the poorest of communities to express their true potential. Your kudos, ethos and awareness are very much what's needed more in the World. These days, money, is killing everything of value, but still, there is the odd Oasis that stands alone from global corporate gluttony; Oasis, such as Behringer. Nice one. Happy Birthday!
Thank you Behringer for making gear affordable, especially recording gear, microphones, mixers. I couldn't afforded my 16-microphone orchestral recording setup with products from other companies, as I'm still a student and it matters a lot whether something I want to do costs 1000€ or 4000€.
Places like the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and other places could really use those synthesizers because of the amount stuff that was lost. These synthesizers would bring smiles to many that seem like their futures have been lost.
Would love to see the Library of Musiclandria in Sacramento receive a donation, they do such good work and could definitely put new Behringer gear to good use!!!
Ja Danke Behinger, vor 20 Jahren hab ich den 1832 FX Mixer gekauft, eigentlich nur um CD Player etc,na ihr wisst schon,ich wollt halt fetzten. Heute nach 20 Jahren denke ich, ihr habt mir eine preisliche Chance gegeben, Musik zu entdecken und zu verstehen. Ich habe mir alles alleine erarbeitet und selber beigebracht. Es ist für mich ein Hobby geworden, das ich nicht mehr missen möchte. Und es macht wahnsinnig Spaß. Heute ist daraus ein kleines Musikstudio entstanden. Und dafür danke ich euch. Der 1832 ist immer noch am Start. Viel Glück und alles Gute!
Yeah Uli...they say no..you strive to say OH YEAH ! Had that synth shop kickout vibe...ahhh that moment kinda made you thou ...well helped..path choice lol..well done HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
My salutations to this humble man who allowed many musicians pursue their dreams with great products at sometimes 1/10th the price.
And he delivered quality.
I come from India where there are thousands with talent and deprived for funds.
A competition among a billion people where five winners get their prized possession thanks to a man whose aim is to promote hidden talent.
Thank you Uli. 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Happy anniversary! and thanks for the synths you’ve created, and for the UB-Xa I’m waiting for ;))) Great work!
Musiclandria in Sacramento, California is a wonderful program offering accessibility to various music equipment for people to check out and explore and would really benefit from a wonderful company like you Behringer
Who did you give the 1000 Synthesizers to?
Uli is 60? Wow!
A truly inspiring individual and what a fantastic company he created.
I'm imaging what it would have been like to have had the opportunity to play with a synthesizer whilst I was at primary school. It would have been amazing and I'm sure it would have opened up my mind to many new possibilities much sooner.
The schools my children go to, do have a 'safe' interest in music, and what I mean by that is they spend a small amount of time teaching some children traditional instruments, ie violin, cornet, tenor horn etc. These lessons are usually carried out by volunteer or part-time staff supplied by the local authorities and children can often find them unengaging. Imagine how incredible it would be if it was possible for children as young as 7 or 8 to experience electronic music creation and synthesis?! Experimenting creating brand new sounds and music is a gateway to creativity, opening up ones mind to possibilities beyond the norm!
If Behringer could get even just a single synthesizer into just one primary school, and just one child becomes engaged, just think how much more enriched their love of music could become. Music matters, it makes people feel right.
Girls Rock Camp in Bellingham, WA is a great organization and would love to be able to pass on the greatness of the synthesizer onto young aspiring musicians! ❤
Legend, thank you Uli for all your hard work, you've made it easier for so many of us. x
Congrats!!!!, 30 years of hard work that are rewarderd. My first electric guitar was a Behringer guitar that came in a beginers pack with a GM108 Amplifier, I have them yet and still using it since 10 years ago. Also I have many guitar pedals and I use it with electro-acoustic guitar and they work really awesome, just yesterday I bought another 2 pedals, the Compressor / Limiter CL9 and Ultra Chorus UC200 and with them I have now 9 Behringer pedals, including the legendaries Reverb Machine and Echo Machine that are very apreciated now. Now, I see Behringer products anywhere, since beginers musician to professional producer. You has given to the people the oportunity of get good gear with a good prices, and that is very very wonderfull, I wish you the best for the next years, you are amazing people and a amazing company. Greets from Guatemala.
I recommend the El Paso County Juvenile Probation Department- El Paso, Texas USA. I've counseled incarcerated youth using music, and with my own equipment. There just isn't enough support for youths in the system. Music saved me- grew up poor and with limited support. Music can guide them toward change as well. Congrats on the 30 years of making a difference!
Keep up the good work, Uli and team! My DeepMind 12 is looking forward to getting big brothers with the UBX-a and DS-80. Respect for your hard work and innovation.
