Whatever Behringer's synth is being compared too, I don't really care - It's a very good sounding 3 VCO mono synth. I'll do proper comparison tests to a Minimoog as soon as I can get my hands on one.

But meanwhile, I've bought another 3 oscillator desktop analogue to keep my fingers busy for the time being - Waldorf Pulse 2 (got it cheap as the LCD needed fixing). I'd never even considered getting one before, but it sounds pretty amazing - More ARP than Moog, but that's more to my liking anyway.

I'm waiting for Behringer to announce an OFFICIAL price, it remains QUOTE "Under $400" - I still believe Sweetwater's $299 may have been a pre-order enticement. I guess we'll all find out next month.

Those pulse 2s are great synths, I have a friend that has 6 of them set up as a poly. Sounds fantastic.

He has some box that takes in the poly midi from 1 lead and spits it out over 6 midi leads. I'l ask him what the box is....

Cheers mate. 6 out sounds like a Mondovox....yep the now rare as hens teeth discontinued Future Retro MIDI router/filter/processor. If only I just gabbed one when the first dropped. Oh well the hunt continues...

am pretty certain something standalone like that could be built using raspberry pi and/or arduino board.

Haven't gotten into programming on that platform yet, but on windows it's kinda straight forward.

Create some routing algorithm based on number of outputs.
for simple example :NOTE CH = NOTE# % OUTS
% being modulo operator.
so for a 3 synth layout , notes get evenly spread into 3 channels.
Multiple pulse 2 Units should work fine when Connected in serial Chain or star if you have an active splitter device.

It's been done: https://midisizer.com/midigal/
Whenever I think about getting one (constructed) I find something else I decide I want/need more. The MIDIGal only has one output, but it would work very will with my currently idle Phil Rees V3. I only want to run three synth as a stack so the V3 would do fine.

Okay I've derailed this thread too much for my own liking, so I'll try to add to the original discussion:

Using a MIDIGal, one could stack up 6 of the Behringer Model D ripoffs and make the elusive Moog poly everyone wants very cheaply compared to trying to do the same with Moog's own reissue!

Don't know if anybody has seen this yet but I think the sound is pretty close.
