Behringer Model D 4-stars Reviews

Moog Sound On A Budget

Can go wrong with this . Fat moog sounds heaps of capabilities. Still exploring this synth . Making some really interssting drone sounds . For the price this is one of the best . Highly recommend having this one in the studio.

Amazing sound.

Tested it for 1 week. It is really fat and amazing sound.

Just got problems with 1st OSC. It is pitched for 1 step below. Did not find how to tune it till now, that's why Im using only second and third OSC.

Fat but a bit noisy.

Very nice feel on the buttons, sounds nice, reacts reasonably well to midi. After a while I noticed that it was a bit noisy (hiss/ 15khz ringing). Granted, this started after a studio switch so this issue may have been electrical. For the price, you are getting allot.

Ambient

Great tool for Ambient music!

the machine says yes!

Quality construction and finish. It looks and feels nice and sturdy. Can't/won't compare it to the original, but this thing sure sounds great in its own right. Very smooth and fat. Not too complicated with the modularisms either. Enjoying toying with it and will add it in an accessible spot.

For basslines and leads, having 1 knob per function makes this synth very fun and good for beginners. No patch memory means you are forced to remember or when you are skilled at programming maybe this is a non-issue.

Amazing product for the price

Incredible clone of the MiniMoog. Use it for bass lines in every project. Imperceptible difference between it and the original. The form factor is smaller than original, but it's not something that bothers me. The extra patch points are a big plus.

Can't recommend enough!

Almost irresistable to not give it a try

PEople may hate behnringer as much as they like, and the work ehics of the company might be questionable, but they do deilver when it comes to the new, ever expanding, synth range.

The Model D is a very nice, well built mono synth. It sounds great and comes very close to a classic original which this was inspired by.

The synth has all expected features, and handling feels good. The knobs are a bit msall, but this is something we see commonly nowadays with the small sized devices and modular equipment.

Aside from the expected features the addition of daisy poly chaining multiple Model D's makes it also tempting to build your own analog poly synth.

It works as a desktop or eurorack device, with a minor downside being the loose bolts used to fix it in its case, instead of a full bar. Once you have dismounted it from the case to put it in a rack, you will have a struggle to mount it back with all screws in the original case.

All in all, for the price tag it has, this is an irresistable offer, that offers you the real classic power in a compact and afforable format.

I don't see why you would not give it a try.

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)

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.
