Blown away

Literally the best thing I ever bought for ly studio, I can get lost for hours in the wild soundscape the Neutron can deliver. Very happy to have made the leap into semi-modular. What a powerhouse, highly recommend!

Crazy syntheziser for a crazy price

I am definitely not the first one saying this but it is a very good instument. It sounds fat and snappy. It is almost too much for this price...

A great first synth for modular

A great package that everyone can get some sound out of without additional modules since it is a complete signal path. In a vigger system it can be used to make great bass sounds. Also good for fm audio effects and noises

Feature-rich, versatile, cheap

Endless opportunities to experiment. However, when it comes at doing something specific or a bit more complex in terms of sound design, you may feel separate eurorack modules would be more suitable. I ended up jumping from virtual-analog synths to the Neutron and then to Eurorack because of this instrument, it opened up this new land to me.

No-brainer

Best cheap synth ever made.

It has a lot of unique features and it's extremely flexible.

You can create dope punchy 808, drums, dreamy pads, weird atmosphere drones, cool plucks, leads, fm basses...

It has unique filter which I think sounds dope. The drive section is pretty good.

Also there is a way to bypass all the effects if you want raw dry analog sound.

I got it in the combination with a Keystep which I use as controller for arps/seq.

It's an absolute no-brainer.

The only problem is you will want more gear to complement it.

Fat and modular

This is my first Behringer product...

Bought almost 3 years ago. So....

Neutron is a good synth I like it for is fat and sweepable oscs and his semimodular option. Lot of modules and almost the essential to start a modular system with an eye on the price.

Even if I had to send back to rma for a noisy knob the overall quality / price ratio is very good.

A GREAT SYNTH

Was very surprised with this synth because it is so cheap. But it has a very well built case and the VCOs are so good the filter is also very good. So yeah overall a very good synth

PROS:

Great filter

Good VCO with the 3340 VCO chip which a lot of legendary synths have used

Many patch points since the synth is semi-modular

Snappy Envelopes

Digital LFO with many capabilities

Many utilities

CONS:

The only one I can think of is the BBD delay which in my opinion is useless maybe and extra utility would be more useful.

It's a beast

It's a sonic terror, in the best sense. This is not the first choice for creamy sounds but for epic bass and weirdness. The delay has a very crunchy sound, which some might see as a minus, but I absolutely love it. It's a keeper and a great way to start dabling in modular synthesis. It pairs perfectly with a Crave, so get them both : - )

This is a great tool for Berlin School music.
