Behringer NEUTRON 5-stars Reviews

Oscillators are amazing

The most creative analogue desktop

GREAT SOUND, GREAT BUILD QUALITY

This is a great analogue synth, very rich in features and it sounds great. Many tutorials and patch ideas on YouTube for beginners. Great synth to start your analogue/eurorack journey with. I highly recommend it!

Great Synth

As a beginner and after two months of my use. I can say its a great synth for beginners to get into the analog synth world because its worth it, you can get many cool sounds and can also get chaotic with it. There are many possibilities to explore with the patchbay area and its fun to play with. Its good if you can get a sequencer or midi keyboard with it.

Pros :

- the patchbay area is easy to play with since its all over to the right side of the synth and does not overlap any of the knobs

- can get pretty wild sounds out of it like chaotic

- its worth for the money

- the sample and hold function is awesome

- you can also get cool musical sounds out of it

- dual 3340 VCOS are an advantage you can play around with the osc mix between two.

- awesome drum sounds with some easy patches

Cons:

- when adjusting the shapes or osc mix knobs there is a slight chance that your hand might touch the osc tune knob since the tune knobs are big, it happens with me sometimes but not a big deal but I have seen in some videos that changing those knobs (tune knob) with the smaller ones might help.

Conclusion - overall its a great synth, there are many great options to play with and many possibilities with the patchbay and it might also take you into an other world if if you go chaotic with it.

All these are from a beginners perspective since Im new into the analog synth and its my first one, still exploring it. I hope this helps someone.

Amazing synth for its price

Although sound is not breathtaking, the possibilities of experimenting and influencing other synthesizers synchronized to it are enormous.

It teaches a lot about music synthesis to the newcomer that wants to experiment.

As well, for the pro user that has more advanced equipment, this synth will not become obsolete. A must buy.

Very satisfied!!

Ok, obviously at first thought i din't expect that much, but once i started patching and playing with it i realised there is more than you see here! The patchbay offers many possiblities and the bass of this synth is amazing! I' m using it in every track i compose whether it is ambient soundscapes or arpeggios...well done Behringer and for this price you have done an amazing job!

Total madness

Crazy little synth. Will definitely be getting another one.

A great introduction to sound synthesis

This is my first hardware analogue synthesizer and I have been very happy with it. It is very flexible and versatile. It is easy to make a quick bass or a lead sound, but it can be as deep as one wants it to be. It simply invites experimentation and I feel so much satisfaction when I create a sound I did not think I could do. It also looks handsome sitting on my desk. Only criticism I have is for the OSC MIX knob. It is situated between the oscillator tuners and when turning the former, it is difficult not to bump into the tuners. If these knobs could have offered a bit more resistance that would have been great. Ultimately this is nitpicking though. So much synthesizer considering the price asked.

Flexible analog monster

Great analog synth, very flexible and wide range of sounds, but mainly best for bass and stabs. May sometimes be a bit wild with its analog delay, but it just adds to the beauty of it. Extensive patchbay, even more great if you have other modular or semi-modular synths..

Crazy value for money

Very powerful synth, which can create almost anything. Would recommend to use the software too, since it makes tweaking stuff much easier.

Very good sounding synth with many capabilities.

You can use for a whole spectrum of sound: bass (of course), leads, pads, drums and other percussions.

It's very user friendly, and it's a good starting point to modular world.

Must have for me.

This pach bay

Very nice gear as an introduction to modular synthesis. Rich patch bay gives a great sound capability beyond already very nice basic set of VCOs and ADSRs. It can get pretty wild very quickly but also able to produce nice clean sounds.

Not the biggest fan of built-in delay but it's there. Filter is not the sharpest or juiciest but still sounds good.

Overall within the price range it's hard to beat and considering it's parpaphonic capability with big range of wave shapes, plus very nice build quality I'd totally recommend to anyone who want's to dive into semi/modular world of sound synthesis.

Great introduction to modular

This has its drawbacks but it's a brilliant introduction to modular synthesis. Build quality and handling are both great, it's packed full of features that will help you learn your way around modular, and I'm using it as a basis to build my Eurorack system around. The sounds produced are not always to my taste but at this price it can't be beat, and it still makes some amazing creazy sounds and great basslines. Definitely a good choice for anyone wanting to get to grips with modular

Excellent analog!!! Fat sound!

Excellent synth for the price!

I wanted to fiddle a bit more with Neutron, since I had no previous expectations in regards to it's capabilities (ie it's not a clone).

I'm amazed how much Behringer crammed in to this package, especially in regards to patching! I would, without hesitation, recommend it to someone who's just starting with modular synthesis and its concepts!

The sound is great, and you can get very "filthy" bass lines out of it. However it may sound (kinda) muffled sometimes, if you're not careful with distortion and delay settings! My only complain is the short decay / release times of the envelopes in the max settings!

That being said, the patch bay along with a BBD style delay, which sonically fits the rest of the sound, are killer features in this synth. Other great features include the digital LFO, the gradual balance between wave forms on the oscillators, and of course the filter, which is very juicy and "breaks" beautifully when you crank the resonance!

Behringer also provides a special application to further tweak Neutron's settings, which is very handy!

All in all, for that price tag (and much more) it's a great synth with tons of possibilities.

A good semimodular cheap

the value for money ratio is incredible on this semimodular. The amount of patchable modules you get for the money is too good to be true. Love the patchbay, the oscillators sound good, the filter is nice. The digital lfo that can be tempo synced and patched with eurorack modules is in itself almost worth the price. I would recommend this anyone who wants to get into eurorack modular setups, not that it needs any additional modules since it's so versatile.

My first semi modular analog synth and can't get better than that for the price!

So versatile, I'm so glad that I chose it as my first semi modular synh. Capable of everyting, really have great time with this one!

Great all around synthesizer

This is my third synth As an entry point into the world of semi-modular synthesis, the Neutron provides not only a great set of features for unbeatable value, it also sounds great. After several months of use I'm still getting used to the possibilities of the patch bay, but learning the oscillators and modulation capabilities was intuitive and straightforward. The range of waveform and modulation combinations is endless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Neutron to others. The only drawback is that it can be highly addictive and when combined with a multi-effects unit, you can lose yourself for hours in shaping sounds.

Perfect for it's price

Sounds amazing and the build quality is perfect!

Brilliant

It has become one of my favorite analog synths.

Great value for an inexpensive analog semi-modular synth. Perfect as an introduction to the Eurorack world: 2 oscillators, 1 lfo, 2 envelopes, delay, overdrive, s&h, slew rate limiter, 2 attenuators and the insane number of 56 patchbay in/outs. Well done, Behringer!

The only "negative" note is the software, that is a little buggy, but I hope they'll improve it even more.

Some good bass for the buck!

I bought this synth together with the Model D and I must say I was totally amazed at the built quality and the sound quality of this machine, especially at the pice they cost.

Recommended to any one who is starting to meddle into modular synthesis and to any pro musicians who wants to add some extra flavour to their modular systems.
