Are you sure Bachus? I read... Quote: Currently, the keys specs are:
Multi-Timbral 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer
Dual Channels per Voice
Polyphonic Aftertouch,
Ribbon Controller
Patch Memory https://www.gearnews.com/behringer-releases-draft-of-ds-80-synthesizer-designs/ I can see a touch strip/ribbon controller in the images below the tone selector section? And Behringer Facebook showing a CGI image with the main front panel off it's visible there also...... _________________ Korg PA5X-76 : Yamaha Montage M8x : Roland Jupiter 80 : Waldorf STVC : Roland Integra 7 : Waldorf Streichfett : Focal Trio6 ST6 : Studio Outboards/RME Audio Interface/A&H SQ Mixer :

It would be nice if the ribbon and keybed can transmit MIDI (also over USB) so that it can act as a controller with polyphonic aftertouch.
However, I don't see this materializing in stores before 2022. |

No, i was wrong..
Lets see in 3 or 4 years what kind of product it will become..
Rebuilding it is one thing
But improving on it, is another thing.
Like the patchbay, replace that pkease with a modern form of saving and loading patches.. which leaves a lot of room for other things on the surface.. like modulation (matrix)..
Thats the way, it should ve done, take whats good (the whole sound engine is icredible) and improve from there.. _________________ Korg Kronos 2/88 , Genos, Mainstage3 +VSTsu, ipad pro, GSi Gemini, Roland Integra 7, Jupiter Xm, Yamaha motif XS rack, Ketron SD90.

I'd rather see Yamaha take the Jupiter 80 approach. Make the best CS 80 they can in software with all it's functions this time and with expanded poly. Then build montage engine around it so the board is useful for other things. Montage CS perhaps. _________________ Fantom 7, Kronos 2, V Synth GT, Moog Voyager |

Do not like the new design at all
1- headphones jack placement is wrong. Cable would fall over the last keys
2- The iconic 2 rows of buttons must stay in the center. NOT moved to the right
3- The screen is tiny and the font is unreadable |

I could actually be tempted by this last incarnation.
Now, can we get him to make a 3-keyboard version of the GX-1, and keep it under 2 grand???

A s a CS80 owner, I have to say - that 3rd revision design of the DS80 is _very_ exciting.
The prospect of polyphonic aftertouch should be very exciting to OASYS and Kronos owners - all OASAS/Kronos synth engines are true polyphonic in architecture (for example AL-1 at 80 voice polyphony means, with 4 LFO's per voice - there are actually 320 LFO's running) - so if played through a DS80 - every one of those could be independently controlled on a per-key basis from the DS80 keyboard.
It would unleash an entirely untapped dimension to the OASYS/Kronos (and if Korg were to do one final amazing advancement for Kronos - it would be to release a version with a keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch).
In any case - not only will the DS80 provide CS80 features in an exquisite package - it will, as said, unleash the amazing true-polyphonic nature of OASYS / Kronos (and indeed all modern plugin synths that are similarly designed with true polyphonic architecture) - a very exciting prospect. |

I think that Behringer is doing pretty neat things with resurrecting their interpretation of classic synths. There is something pretty exciting about their synth products.
When funds allow, I would certainly get a Deepmind 12, and even a few (more like 6) of the Model D.
I would love to see them bring a Wavetable type synth back as well, namely something from Ensoniq. I would prefer the VFX/SD type clone, but I suspect that if they did it at all, they might pursue something like the Mirage sampler, or the ESQ1...
These are exciting times and I would welcome the new products...
With that being said, I love my Korg products, but the Ensoniq VFX-SD is my favorite synth (next to my Korg PA700).
