Bargain

This thing sounds great. Amazing value.

It's a blast

Having spent about two months with it and countless hours of acid and noise techno jamming, this synth is an absolute blast for live performances, including some live patching, transitioning from one soundscape to another and altering the sequence on the fly, for long uninterrupted jams. The build quality is really well for the price (I expected it to be lower tbh), very nice knobs with enough resistance to not bump some of the very sensitive controls by accident. There's a few things that are missing imo (they are missing on the original as well) like a reset signal input for the sequencer (and MIDI reset), an LFO (for using a square wave to ratchet the envelopes for example) and maybe a CV mixer/attenuator like the Crave has one but one may say it's those limitations that make it what it is. Combined with a delay and chorus effect and some live EQ tweaking, one can create truely massive bass lines and hard crunchy noise techno beats and the VCOs go deep enough really get into the meat. Using a 2nd Sequencer to control VCO1 independently from the internal sequencer let's you layer some melodic modulation on top of a punchy percussion sequence, making this even more interesting.

Amazing product. Generally I'm not into Behringer products but this one I want to have three. Sounds massive and amazing. Built like a tank. Super easy to use. Wouldn't use it as a main drum device but pair it with another one and you have a banging live performance tool.

Most "techno" synth I ever put my hands on.

Really great unit, sounds huge and beefy, very stong and solid build. knobs are pretty stiff to turn but it keeps your sounds locked in.

Compared it to the Moog DFAM. Its a bit different but in a positive way. The sound is gritty, the knobs feel good, and most important it sounds and feels great. Has midi IN & OUT/THRU and USB to midi.

Nice low-end

Its strong point is the low-end for me. It can make some monstrous kicks. The additional midi implementation compared to dfam is also really nice. You can play it as a chromatic instrument.

Absolutely amazing

I was waiting to be good but not that good. Really well constructed that's also sounding amazing!

I got G.A.S.

If you know the other product... you'll get [understand] this machine! The bright purple of the Edge will dazzle you at first, but all round it is solid and weighty, as in heavy and in the sound that it makes. I have the [m**g] and use them together! I think they work well and compliment each other! If your looking for something a little different, this could be it and at a reasonable price. Having Midi I/O and a USB port are a good addition to the device, for firmware updates and other settings via the Synth Tribe tool. Add a Crave and Spice up your life... what you waiting for
