So hopefully with the Behringer 808 we get the real thing, not some digital approximation that will probably show its age in 3-4 years.It updates the original with enhanced connectivity, step sequencer, and arpeggiator and more.Means we should now see a renaissance in music, right I doubt it.Most of the original manufactures are NOT interested in making clones of their original gear or they would have done it.
Finally Behringer stepped up to the demand and got them right and is giving them away at ultra low prices for everyone. I hope to get one when they eventually become readily available (which may be several months off). Roland have done very well out of mining their reputation as a manufacturer of synth classics so you dont need to feel bad for them. I prefer a company that produces a quality product and sells it reasonably close to cost. That was once a New Thing that was made by a single company, but do you know or care who makes a particular saxophone on the market today Thats how little anyone else cares about about synth models outside of our musical community. At this price I just cant say no even if I wanted to, and I dont because the 101 is such a great synth. They apparently have an incredible RD team budget this is extremely cool. Can they not come up with their own ideas, though This is so not cool. I want to be impressed but it seems this team is nothing more than a highly funded Xerox machine. Its a shame, Imagine what they could build and how they could change synthesis. On top of that, have you taken a good look at the prices theyre asking Its not that hard to be impressed. I wouldnt be surprised that this is just their practice period, and that well see some original designs pop up along the way. But to your point.practice time is fair We are, after all, musicians:). Heres hoping this incredible team lets go of the past just a bit and looks to some new things. The problem is that digital modeling technology is still developing. What happens is that last years super accurate model suddenly is made even more accurate. A couple of years ago that was presented as a perfect model of the Tubetech CL1B, and it cost 200. So what did I buy a couple of years ago Im not sure, but I believe that Rolands TR-08 is similarly supposed to sound better than a TR-8. Sure, things get smaller and more reliable, but its not like modern analog circuitry sounds so much better than analog a couple of decades ago.
