Behringer Synthesizer - Neutron/Beh

Me encanta, ningún detalle estético, pocas palabras, recomendado

First of all, I have 2 other Behringer synths, The D and the Pro 1. All good build quality. The Neutron is a different beat all together. I love the Red color and the Led lighting it has. The sound you can create is superb. Now, To update the Firmware is just RIDICULOUS!!! The other 2 update with a nice app. The Neutron uses some 3rd arty app that makes you change the USB driver to be able to connect then you lose MIDI in doing this, you then have to change USB driver back to get the firmware to work and it connect to your system. Also you might get the LFO freeze glitch n the firmware as well. It happened to em and i had to back the firmware down to a lower then step it back up to not get the glitch. Download the USB STM Driver which can be found HERE [https://zadig.akeo.ie/] Its a real pain in the ass to get this all done. After it is done. ROCK SOLID Performance!!!1. Connect the Neutron synth to a power source, but ensure that the unit is switched off.2. Connect the USB socket on the Neutron synth to a USB 2.0 connection on the computer.NB: please ensure that there is no MIDI cable connected to the MIDI IN port of the Neutron.The unit may fail to update is this cable is in place.3. Run the Update program at which point you should be presented with this screen:4. With a paperclip (or similar) press & hold the recessed BOOT button on the back panel of theNeutron (the BOOT button is accessed through a small hole adjacent to the Input jack on the rearof the unit).5. With the Boot button still pressed, power on the Neutron synth then release the Boot button.If the Neutron is correctly in Boot mode, the Square Wave leds on both oscillators will be litand all other leds and buttons on the unit will be unlit, see image below.If this is not the case, please repeat the above steps to put the unit into Boot mode beforecontinuing. The update procedure will not work unless the unit is in Boot mode.Wait for the DFU Updater to detect the Neutron, at which point you should see this message7. When the DFU Updater has detected the Neutron, click the Update button to start theupdate process.If you instead see a communications error at this point, please refer to point 2 in theTroubleshooting section at the end of this document on how to install the correct USBdriver before proceeding.The Updater detects the Neutron, but clicking on the Update button shows acommunication error message.This issue is probably a result of the computer not having the correct USB drivers installedfor the Neutron.These instructions describe installing (or updating) updating the USB driver on your computer,and only needs doing once:• Download the USB STM Driver which can be found HERE• Connect the Neutron to the computer via a USB cable• Ensure the Neutron is placed into DFU update mode by pressing and holding the BOOTbutton while powering on the unit• Run the STM Driver utility executableNOTE - PLEASE DO NOT POWER OFF THE UNIT UNTIL THE UPDATE IS COMPLETE.From the Options menu, ensure List All Devices is ticked• Select ‘STM32 BOOTLOADER’ from the Device drop down boxClick “Upgrade Driver” (if the driver is not already installed) or “Reinstall Driver” (if a previousversion of the driver is already installed on the PC) and this will install the version of theWinUSB driver that the Neutron requires so it is seen as the correct device

I bought this mostly because it has sine wave oscillators and I wanted to play with the smoother sound. The oscillators are truly analog and do not tune themselves. Apparently you can use a program to get them tuned easier and see more features of the synths but I haven't tried that.I usually tune one oscillator to a note from another synth or piano, and let the other roam free. the duo-phonic mode is pretty fun in that context in that you can play two notes on a midi keyboard and then grab the 2nd oscillator and go nuts.I have noticed that you should let it warm up for 5 minutes before tuning, it will drift a little.Most fun I've had: Take the noise generator and run it into the sample and hold, then run the sample and hold into the oscillator on full range. bloopy bleepy fun.You can also have the LFO run the delay time on the delay module. That makes fun wobbly notes that are out of tune in a way that only "modular" can get.There is (obviously) better modular synth stuff out there, but this is a really good addition to a setup without taking a deep dive into Eurorack and modular. For the price it is good.The delay module isn't the greatest and the overdrive is not great either, but the oscillators are nice, sample and hold is nice, key sync on the LFO is nice, dual ADSR is nice.Usually I'll get the whole thing running on a Midi only sequence from my Korg Monologue, make weird sounds with patches, then sample that into the RC505 to make a loop, reconfigure, lay another loop in., then turn up the Korg and play with those knobs.Well worth the money if you're OK with Behringer.

The synth is great. Very nice oscilators and filters. My only complaint is with the firmware update and computer application. Tried to install the latest firmware and it wouldn't recognise the unit, tried to install the application and that also failed to recognise the unit, worse of all i had to remove the application from my computer as it was preventing midi information from being sent via the usb.

Muy bueno!
