    A quick sound demo without any outboard processing. This is by no means a comprehensive review, just checking out the sounds. I’m really impressed at the sound for the size and price. And it’s cool the way the knobs light up when you move them 😃

      This is really the only way to show its raw voices. Thanks! I’m prob def getting one too. It just sounds too great for its price and size.😅
      (Also on a side note: Do you know if it will respond to midi program changes? I know it’s a long shot,but it would def complete the concept/design!😎)

    I'm definitely getting some Jupiter 8 vibes from this even with the limited form factor and polyphony. This makes me excited for their full sized JT16 than that comes out.

      Even if used monophonically, it's amazing. In fact Roland had a mono version of the Jupiter 4, called the Promars.

  • @lundsweden
    @lundsweden 28 дней назад +2

    It definitely has an old Roland sound. The paraphony is a bit of a limitation, but it does sound good.
    I have the other synth in this similar form factor, the VS Mini. I really enjoy that little synth and use it often.

    • @robbiefithon
      @robbiefithon  28 дней назад +1

      Yeah the paraphony is a shame but at this price not a deal breaker. I haven’t tried the VS Mini. I’ll have to give it a go.

    • @lundsweden
      @lundsweden 28 дней назад +2

      @robbiefithon The VS Mini is really nice, it can sound quite analog or digital (the analog filter is sweet). I find it a little difficult to program, but the new factory patches that were released in December are a much better starting point.

  • @jamietopolski4019
    @jamietopolski4019 Месяц назад +5

    I ordered this from Sweetwater (USA) and am looking forward to hearing it in-person. I've only used soft synths on my iPad and I am interested to learn if I hear any significant differences from a "real" analogue synth. I have Tal-U-No LX on my iPad which is considered to be a great Juno 60 soft synth so I will try a direct comparison.

    • @robbiefithon
      @robbiefithon  Месяц назад +3

      You’ll notice a big difference between real analogue and plugins. And the direct connection with the sound is something you can’t replicate, even with midi controllers. I think you’ll really enjoy it 😃

  • @maq1017

    Do you find in poly that sometimes overlapping notes pop a little? I’ve noticed it on sine wave and poly mode, I think I can hear it in this video too. Hoping it’s a case of ‘they all do that sir’. Great video, I really like the simplicity of a solid demo

  • @jerrybriardy
    @jerrybriardy 29 дней назад +1

    Sounds pretty cool. For $99, I'll get one, though I already own several cheap synths. Sort of reminds me of the Korg Volca Keys from what I can hear from this demo. I have the Behringer VS Mini and this form factor obviously owes a lot to that design. Looks like Behringer is creating a whole line of cheap synths based on that. Good marketing decision. I'm a big fan of Volcas in no small part because it is easy to go from one to another due to similarities in control functionailty.

    • @robbiefithon
      @robbiefithon  28 дней назад

      Yeah, the Volcas are the closest comparison, these seem to have better midi spec though. Yeah Behringer seem to be using the same chassis for this mini range. Definitely makes sense.

    is between a juno 106 and jupiter. i own the juno 106 and some sounds can't be reproduced. de tuning and some bell sounds, are more jupiter related. i hope with some effects and effort the behringer can convince me. else i have a 2nd juno in my set for 120euro which is quite nice 😊

    • @ironinquisitor3656
      @ironinquisitor3656 Месяц назад +2

      Sort of in the same way the Juno was a stripped-down Jupiter but with DCOs instead of VCOS and chorus to fatten the sound to compensate for lack of detune. The JT Mini is a bit closer since it's probably using VCOs, and it can detune the oscillators.

      The VS Mini had crap presets, and is a bit hard to program. I bought some great patches for about $10 for it, have a better starting point for my own patches. Now it sounds amazing.

  • @trevortjes
    @trevortjes Месяц назад +6

    Thanks for making this demo. It motivated me to not buy it. The features for the money do not compare with other Behringer modules like the 4000M (at half the price) and pro vs mini at the same price but way more specialized. In the end it's a great basic synth tho where each preset is just the way you left the synth. Hands on tweaking without menu diving. But yeah, for 50 or 60 dollars it would've made more sense. Im afraid Behringer is now on a roll of making a lot of synths in this exact format but serving a different niche each time. Like wth is that phara-o synth suddenly? I'm just waiting for the minimoog variant of this series of mini desktop synth.

    Just want to check - this is paraphonic, not polyphonic right? For $99 it's still an insane bargain of course, but I'm pretty sure the envelope re-triggers for notes being held down when you play a new note.

    • @robbiefithon
      @robbiefithon  Месяц назад

      Yeah it’s 3 note paraphonic 👍

  • @crasheffort
    @crasheffort Месяц назад +4

    They keep calling it a Jupiter clone, but really seems more like a Juno clone. It only has one oscillator and one envelope unlike the Jupiter 8 having two of both.

    • @robbiefithon
      @robbiefithon  Месяц назад

      Having played around with it a bit more I agree. Out of the two synths it definitely reminds me of the Juno more than the Jupiter.

    • @sauermusicDE
      @sauermusicDE Месяц назад +3

      Filter chip characteristics should be identical anyway (IR3109). But the sub-oscillator is missing here. With an octaver pedal (Behringer UO300 etc.) and a TC June-60 V2 chorus pedal the results might be even closer to a Juno.

    • @ironinquisitor3656
      @ironinquisitor3656 Месяц назад +2

      Sounds more Jupiter than Juno. More like a stripped-down Jupiter anyways. The Juno uses DCOs and this still sounds like VCOs here like the OG Jupiter. You also can't detune oscillators on the Juno but the JT can. Oh and the Juno chorus which this does not have.

      Yes, it can be controlled by Midi in or the USB C. I'm guessing they'll just do note on and off and minimal CC's. The controls would be NRPN's by an external sequencer or Daw. If the manual is online it should give a list of CC's.
