Behringer Kobol Expander

Doporučuje produkt

My favourite synth so far. Great for learning sound design. Excellent sound variety, from beautiful clean pads to plucks and percussive sounds, from unsettling noisy drones to squelchy bass. A lot of patch points. Fun to explore. It's unbelievable that currently it's almost the cheapest Behringer classic semi-modular synth remake, fantastic value. I absolutely love it. Kobol is probably NOT a good pick as your first synth. Get a Roland S-1 first, it's more expensive but it has a sequencer, basic effects and a primitive but usable keyboard; it's also battery powered, so you'll have enough flexibility. Volca Keys is another good option. You can always integrate them into a larger setup later. Another basic option for a beginner who wants to use Kobol is to get a cheap MIDI keyboard, an audio interface and route everything through a DAW on your laptop. A suggested dawless setup where Kobol really shines: KeyStep → Circuit Tracks → S-1 + (Kobol → MS70-CDR+).

Plusy: Lots of great sounds Easy to learn the basics A lot to experiment with Pretty cheap Properly sized knobs, enough space between them Adapter, eurorack ribbon and patch cables included Looks awesome :)

Mínusy: Ideally you should wait for a few minutes for it to warm up + needs slight tuning (all normal for analog synths) No polyphony No glide/portamento settings Higher reso reduces low freq No onboard effects Only two patch cables included No keyboard, no sequencer
