OK, if I pull off the rubber(?) protective things on my 2600 I can see a thing down there, but I don't think it would be as easy to adjust as the MS-5. I would need a tool to get down there... The point is Behringer are doing a better job designing synthesizers for long-term use.EvilDragon wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 12:23 am Why does it matter if it's on the back? On the front is way more accessible (especially with 2600 being geared towards rack mounting, trimpots on the back would be pretty retarded)! At any rate, 2600 has the trimpots exposed. And where else would trimpots be but on a PCB?
Easy now with ad hominems, we didn't even get the party started.
The thing that I liked the most about the Introduction video is the sound. It sounds proper old-school industrial to me, like it could really be from the 1970's.
I'm sure it doesn't sound identical to an original SH-5, but I never wanted an SH-5.

I saw one on Reverb for only $3,333.00 yesterday - the catch is you have to pick it up.
Gotta love that greenish paint.

This whole thread has been a mistake!
It's the SH-7 that I am so keen on :

I am no expert on 1970's synthesizers.
So, Behringer, when you gonna make a copy of the RARE Roland SH-7

Wow, the MS-5 sounds great and it’s under $600?! I doubt they’ll ever release a module version, but that would be very tempting.

Indeed, but I don't consider A/R a useful envelope. The could have easily made it a full ADSR.egbert101 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 8:29 pm2 Envelopes according to their main page:

I think it's a bit less creamy than the sounds from SH5 videos, but I still think it sounds great!Constructed Identity wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 1:57 am The thing that I liked the most about the Introduction video is the sound.

I always thought an SH5 would be nice, but it's never been justifiable even as an option, as they're very rare and very expensive.
It does have the Roland rubberyness which no other manufacturers seems to have captured.. so even if it's not exactly an SH5 I think it is a characterful synth. I'm keen to hear more as one demo never tells the whole story.
I still wish Roland had decided to keep making analogue synths, I think we'd have had some amazing instruments over the past decade with the synth revival that's happening.
I think I lean to the side of thinking it's good someone is making these physical emulations of these unobtainable synths, where we don't even really have emulations. Clones of current available synths... Not so great.

Yes, I may get one if I can figure out where to place it, I have to get a keyboard mixer first._leras wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 5:42 amThat doesn't stop the SH5 sounding great.Constructed Identity wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 2:11 am This whole thread has been a mistake!

So who should I believe, hmmmm?christian f. wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 12:41 amThis is pretty dumb, it might be a nice vintage inspired synth, but it doesn't sound like an SH-5 at all.
I mean, that 50 year old in Barbie outfit surely seems perfectly credible...
but how does someone's image, detract from credibility?
not all synthesists are beardy blokes in polo shirts
and 50 is the new 21 btw (since i was 50 last month )

Even if the second envelope is only AR...things like MS20s make some pretty powerful noise with 'only' AR envelopes. 2 LFOs + 2 envs is pretty powerful comparing to many of the now legendary analogues that created history. Just saying....

Absolutely. And, if Behringer had replaced the second AR envelope with an ADSR, people would complain that it's not a true remake. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
