Behringer Crave 4-stars Reviews

Pretty great, but not for me

Got this for the purpose of giving (semi-)modular synthesis a go. It integrated quite easily into my setup well, but... I just didn't gel with it.

I found it's design is well-reasoned, and considering what you get for €150 yes it's a deal for sure.

However, at this price maybe aesthetics and ergonomics are less important. Good potentiometres, bad buttons . It felt less like a musical instrument and more tool-like, but does have a great sound and wicked patch points.

One other things, the early firmware issues were a big pain for me. Between that and the feel I decided to sell it. Probably all fixed by now, do see what people say on the forum though.

I'm sure if you put the time in it will pay its dividends.

Nice mix of Moog and Prophet filters.

Found 1 issue on mine but overall it's fantastic

Everything is okay, except one defect that sometimes my cause problems. Even if the Mix knob in VCO section is turned all the way to OSC, it still gives some noise through. This issue is partly fixed by plugging in plain patch cable into Ext.Audio input, but it's not so comfortable you know)

Great sound!

Extremely nice sound for one oscilator and great for those with a desire to experiment with the patch bays.

Not convinced about the wobbly midi ports and knobs though.

It has some very nice deep end power comparable to the Malekko Manther which has a lot more options, and a bigger price tag.

Pretty affordable synth though, choose this over a volca anyday.
