Behringer Model D Reviews

Sounds like a Minimoog but...

The sound is good, VERY close to a Minimoog reissue, maybe a bit thinner than a vintage one but no vintage sounds like one another even the same rev sometimes...

What i dislike though is the size, the quality of knobs and switches...

It makes it much more difficult to find the sweetr spots and to program it than a regular genuine Mini...

I wish Behringer would make a fullsize version with better knobs and a keyboard like they did with the Arp Odyssey for instance...

I would pay 3 times the price for it...

It helps, is usavble but lacks a real musical instrument's feeling that the original provides (I had two vintage minis, one I regret,the other not so much, really too unstable, pitch will always vary, so no go)

You will love this synthesizer

I use Model D in my home studio. Today it is my favorite synthesizer.

I liked the look and sound, but there are some weak elements on the back of the synthesizer. But in general, my opinion is that there are much more pluses than minuses.

Behringer made a really interesting product worthy of your attention.

There is really powerful, greasy bass here. I love him for that.

I recommend using it with Arturia KeyStep. This is really a killer combination.

Have a good sound!

This is an excellent model d clone. The build quality is good, and great value for the price range. USB connectivity also provides extreme flexibility for midi in/out. Only hiccup is that sometimes, when changing oscillator range (lowest end) a click can be heard when in-between the ranges - not sure if this is expected operation or not, but it is not really that much of a problem.

I <3 Behringer

Note that my ratings take into account the product's price.

I loved MiniMoog's sound but couldn't afford it given that I'm just a hobbyist. And even if I could afford it I'd probably not spend all that money on a vintage machine with no midi support that would cost me a fortune to maintain in the future. So, when I saw this clone from Behringer it was an instant buy. And heck I'm not regretting it. The sound is simply amazing, pretty much 100% like the original thing. Plus the guys at Behringer were cool enough to add an extra LFO and proper Midi support. The only downside is that the knobs are too close to each other and turning certain knobs becomes a tedious process. But for the price and the sound... Who cares?

As far as the comments about whether it's unethical or not that Behringer is cloning other people's circuits: Hardware and VST company giants are doing that for ages. I don't see why there's a difference in an analog modeling software based synth that is literally acting the same way a Moog circuit is and an equal analog circuit.

Thank you, Behringer. I can't wait for your new synth products.

Behringer Model D

I use it in my little home studio. And he has come to complete that space that I had yet to cover. I could talk about the technical characteristics of Behringer Model D, but I think that will not be necessary. There are already many people doing it.

Magnificent construction with quality finishes and materials. An impeccable sound, which can go from the warmest sounds, to much fatter and more aggressive ones. No doubt Behringer is doing an incredible job, bringing quality technology at very affordable prices. Thus opening the range of analog synths to a greater number of people who could not otherwise afford to pay the prices of the original devices that outnumber these synths in a lot of money.

Really delighted with the Model D. And hoping to have already in my hands also the Neutron

A highly recommended purchase, whether you are a professional musician or want to start in music production.

Pros: Construction with quality finishes and materials.

Contras: I do not find any.

Amazing quality for the buck.

Incredible value

I love my Model D. It sounds great and and it's a pleasure to use. I've compared it to software emulations and the hardware unit just sounds better. It has warmth and character in spades.

I use it for bass parts and pad sounds and it just gets the job done. The three oscillator design gives you more flexibility than you'd probably expect.

The knobs may take a while getting used to, since their travel is quite sensitive. It's better to make small turns when fine-tuning sounds in search of sweet spots.

In my opinion, the build quality is very good, and I haven't had any problems with it. I also appreciate the added USB Midi capability. Overall, it's a bargain at this price point, so pick it up if you're on the fence.

Its awesome synthesizer! fat, punchy and better made (buildquality) than any of new Korg Mini / Mono or Roland boutique line. Its liek a T-34 tank. Thank you Behringer! You saved me money on a new car instead of buying MOOG :)))))))

great Synth

the behringer model D is a mean bass and lead machine.

it's really a must have unit in home studios.

Can't go Wrong At This Pricepoint!

Build quality is great unlike other behringer products from the past.Soundwise this thing is pretty close to the real deal,If you want that 70s funky bass sounds go for it!It is much more versatile than other low price line of moog products.

Behringer Model D

Really great and powerful analog machine. Really worth it. I fully recommend to the studio, because of his amazing clear and strong sound. And i am pretty sure, that it hides much more inside, but i?m still discovering it :) But it made my music alive.

Fantastic

When this thing turned up I thought its small I've wasted my money it took me half a day to get into the instrument and now I love it... its amazing for fattening up lines , it has all the classic synth sounds you have to be prepared to work..

Im using it for bass and horn lines,

Im doubling up and layering tracks making them bigger by de tuning.

Cons,

its smaller then I thought it would be

but the rewards are amazing its already on the new album,,, buy it now!

Boog

Got this little gem for my home studio.

Excellent sound and build quality.

Only drawback was that i needed to open the unit and tune it.

This is exactly that bass sound.

With most settings, that sound is almost the same as the original. Filter characteristics are well reproduced.

It's semi-modular type so you can patch with other synths.

It is amazing cost performance.

Cool Little Monster

Well, there is an obvious hype about that unit which is very well earned in my opinion.

Soundwise this unit is amazing! Its filter is very wide and there are lots of sweet spots and oscillators detune very very nicely. Its simple patchbay is also very useful, especially for the filter modulation and feedback.

Featurewise, of course, it is really limited since there is no patch memory and tuning is really a problem. It takes an hour to get it fixed at some fine tuning. But you can ignore these problems very very easily with its amazing sound and price.

Its build quality exceeded my expectations. Knobs are firm and solid. I also used the Deepmind which I think the build quality is really poor, but Behringer nailed the job with Model D.

As final words, if you have anything to do with the synthesizers you must buy this and try at least!
