Behringer Crave 5-stars Reviews

fat sound and sturdy body at a low price

Fat sound with great sequencer and modular capabilities in a very sturdy body

Excellent intro to modular

Feature-rich, compact and sturdy, there's little not to like here. Plenty of patch options, a great sounding oscillator and filter, and a very functional sequencer. Knobs feel sturdy with a nice amount of resistance. A great budget introduction to the world of analog patching.

una bomba

una bomba per il prezzo che ha. Clone perfetto del mother 32

Great introduction

Great and simple introduction to modular synthesis. Of particular note is the fact that it contains not just a decent sequencer but that it is also capable of ratcheting.

Amazing

An awesome and super fun little synth. It definitely takes time to get used to it if you are a beginner but once you do, it's potential is as far as you can think. I absolutely love this synth. The synthtool and Behringer software should be the first thing you download when buying this synth. It will show you the way. I recommend this product to anyone.

PS

I also own a Mother-32 and they are alomost interchangable at about a third of the price.

Simplement parfait

Il n'y a pas grand chose à dire si ce n'est que pour son prix, il est imbattable.

Un seul oscillateur de base mais il y a moyen d'en avoir au moins 3 si l'on compte le lfo qui peut monter assez haut en fréquence et également la résonnance de filtre qui peut entrer en autorésonnance.

Le système de patchage permet énormément de combinaison.

Bref! C'est un plaisir de chercher des sons avec le Crave.

for the price an absolute bargain

value/price this unit is the best you can find

do not be fooled thus this is a pretty complex machine to use

so good if you have a deep knowledge about subtractive synthesis and want to go closer to modular

not good if you're a beginner, better look for a Korg in this case

It's a steal for the money

It is a really good synthesizer. I've used this one in different situations like Music Production in songs and movies. Extremely easy to use and comfortable, I would recommend it to get more used to Modular synthesis too!

Good clone

Nice Moog M32 clone, sounds same good as Mother-32.

Pros:

- Price - four times cheaper than original.

- Sound - sounds same good as original.

- Build quality - sturdy metal case, fake wooden sides, looks

like decent quality product.

- Can connect several units together to work as one synth

Cons.

- Buttons are not very good - slippery plastic and noisy,

hard to turn the knobs.

- No 6.3mm output - need to use converter

- Patch bay layout - not very convenient to connect to other synths, i would preferred right side patch bay like on Neutron and Mother-32.

- No patch sheets

great synth and great store

the synthesizer is very good, especially for the money you pay for it

Bass Pur / Flexibel wg. vielen Features / Lächerlich günstig /

Seit dem ich den Crave habe, kommt jede Bassline aus dem Beast.

Der Sound ist wirklich druckvoll. Der Ladder-Filter ist ein Traum.

Dank des semi-modularen Aufbaus ist man sehr flexibel bei der einbindung in verschiedene Setups.

Ich bin sicher, es gibt keinen Synth außer dem Neutron der auch nur ähnlich viel Sound pro Euro generiert. Habe den Crave jetzt eine ganze Weile und bin jeden Tag von neuem geflasht.

Der Sequenzer ist der einzige Schwachpunkt, für mich völlig unbrauchbar. Kein Liverecording, die Bedienung unglaublich nervig. Mag sein, dass Fans von 80er Jahre Step sequencern das anders sehen. Für mich absolut unbrauchbar.

Great sound!

1st synth I bought and it got me hooked!

The sequenser is a little getting used to so i use the Keystep's which is very easy to work with.

Sounds amazing

Excellent first hardware mono.

Advanced patching possibilities with itself and friends.

This guy knows his stuff!

The synth is simple, monophonic subtractive with limited LFO / ENV kits, but a step sequencer.

classic filter

Oscillator ordinary 3340.

It's good - that the synth is semi-modular at its price. Nice set of patches.

Ideal for a beginner's guide.

I should also mention that these synthesizers are very good for live performances. Laptop + Crave is much more fun than just a laptop. And such a set will theoretically even fit in hand luggage.

the interface is not simple. take a little time to get used to. the sound is very good for the money

Fun

I am not very experienced using synths but Crave is fun to fool around with. Just beginning to get into the depths of it. A sturdy made analogue

synth. Feels great under my fingers. Generates all kinds of sounds.

**PS: the manual is practically non-existent.. you will need to dive into YouTube to find tutorial....some are workable...

great value for money

it sounds good and in the hand the feeling is not of a cheap toy.

the only con is for me the 3,5 jack as output

Cheap semi-modular can't get better than that

I praise Behringer everyday for making synthesizers at such a low price.

It looks sharp, it is true analog, and the semi-modular part is a gem for learning how Control Voltage works.

It sounds very nice, even though I suspect some equalization could be needed to integrate it in songs.

I would have liked a separate envelope for the oscillator and the vcf, but at this price range, how can I complain? Everything you need to explore subtractive synthesis is there, with a step sequencer on top!

preis-leistungsverhältnis = top

der Sequencer ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht im playmodus editierbar. sonst sehr gutes produkt.

Great little synth for the money

Cheaper Moog Mother with a few extras...sort of.

It isn't a Moog, but for the money it still sounds great!

The size is just right. No problem fiddling with the controlls.

Knobs are not wobbly and have a decent amount of friction when turning (they could turn more freely).

I'm still getting used to the patchbay thing.

Output only to a small jack connector...I can live with that.

A lot of the functions are accessible via key combinations which are not labelled on the unit so you have to look them up and remember.

When I start my sequencer hooked via MIDI, by default Crave also starts its internal sequencer. I think this can be disabled.

It's great that it has MIDI through. Separate OUT/THROUGH would also have been nice.

I would have liked the main tuning knob to snap to the 0 position so that you could tune it correctly witout fiddling around. It only has 1 oscillator so that would make sense imo.

Overall a great machine (not just because of its price).
