Finally the Kobol Video i was waiting for! Keep up your good work!

Super wie immer !!!!😀

Sounds good this thing. Got that rubbery sound.

Love the DAF-style opening groove!

Good demo!

Best demo of this synth so far, finally; someone making it sound the way it should.

My 2 cents: I have never owned one and was always super curious about the original RSF Kobol. But as I have never played one in real life, I can’t tell whether or not the Behringer clone is supper accurate. And tbh, I don’t care too much, either. And here’s why. With the Kobol expander, Behringer has brought an affordable yet flexible mono synth to the market. I was impressed by its super fast and snappy envelopes and fat sounding filter. It’s also great to have oscillators waveforms that can be transitioned smoothly. What I was missing most were more possibilities to attenuate signals, especially when making modulation routings. Also, a duofonic mode would have been nice as its sound begs for being played polyphonically. Build quality is ok. Some people complain about wobbly potentiometer which I can’t confirm. The ones in the Behringer Kobol aren’t super tight (in comparison with Clavia or Sequential, for example), but nothing I hadn’t seen before on other synths. TLDR: Great sounding synth with a superb price performance ratio. Not a keeper for me, though, as I found it to be too redundant in my setup. But that’s just due to the approach I’m after: Keeping my setup as small as possible. To any others with enough space left in their studio or beginners that are searching for a budget-friendly synth that sounds fantastic: Go for it!

Very good video

The Keystep37 is sooo cool!😎

It sounds very dynamic and defined while still having the dry-saturation thing. Need to find out if a highpass modification is simple.. VC envelopes is rare.

Very nice sound...never heard of this one? Where were they keeping it?

that trance leeeead

that filter sounds incredible. the pulsar power chord patch is a good example. i wish they would put that filter in an analog polysynth

The best sounding B synth since the Pro-1, might have to get one. Great demo!

This is an amazing synthesizer, I love mine and cannot stress enough, how good it is, to have 2 VCA post VCO pre Filter in addition to the conventional output VCA, as well as voltage controlled resonance and envelope parameters, Voltage Processor and outputs for LFO with and without level control. Nonetheless, I am not satisfied with Behringers answer to my question, whether it might be possible to make this instrument listen to Mod-wheel MIDI data, to velocity and to give it a software-update with (fingered) portamento via the Synthtribe-App. Commentators tried to teach me, that this be not the spirit and that I should go get further MIDI interfaces and modular systems-which I already have. Behringer told me, that the keyboard version will have all that, and that this be an emulation of the Kobol expander only, without these features. This is a pity! Why? This synth does sound amazing, and would make a fantastic Lead and Bass synth. And for those purposes, mod wheel MIDI data, velocity sensitive (filter) control as well as fingered portamento would be great, without making the instrument any worse as a modular toolbox. I still hope that they might implement whatever is technically possible to do in the synthtribe app, especially if it might be possible to alter the functions of some outputs, that is: make Voltage processor out gain Mod-Wheel-controllable (or LFO out level), or make ADS2 out switchable to velocity or so.

great video!

Really fascinating, one I’d love to try but not buy. A great new option for peeps looking for a great chewy mono with molasses style filtering. But damn...I wish I’d gotten the black keystep ;) Thanks for another really enjoyable demo

I wish that they had just made this a 6 or 8 voice version....

I don't need another mono synth. I dont need an... a fuck -.-

3 pole filter. The best of both worlds?

Second part the chords sounds like hurt by NIN

thisn is the best behringer i've heard so far (aside from maybe the ub-xa)

It's like a french pro one. Very good filter and envelopes. Cheap too. I don't understand why this is so lower in price than the other equivalents.

I wish I knew sequencing one of these with an MC-707 would be an absolute nightmare before I bought it 😢

Thanks good vid. I get someone in comments has behringer snobbery 😂

❤

I thought you needed another synth to run it, when I heard its name being Xpander. As in, its an expansion for another synth 😅

I thought my sequoia circuits pro-one sounded good.

The delay is 3 time more expensive than the synth itself!!

i always find Behringer synths s sound quite similar ...

It's strange how, in Canada's largest city, none of these new Behringer synths are actually available. It makes one wonder if these are just limited runs of products, going mostly to social influencers to create demand for a supply that's intentionally shorted. But the best synth is one that actually exists in people's hands...so don't believe the hype.

These videos of more of the exact same are becoming boring even for synth lovers.
