Stylophone GenR8 vs Behringer WASP vs Arturia Minibrute 

You can patch the lfo into the pwm on the Gen r-8

Your love and enthusiasm for the GenR8 alone makes the purchase justified. Great video been waiting for this and great choices for comparison that brute is also well worth the money!

Love the bite, and dirty old school sound of the Gen R-8. Three great Synths!!! Got all of the Brutes! Can't wait to get the Wasp, and the Get R-8. Right now the Gen R-8 is hard to come by. Company is waiting on parts. to make more.

I'm still pimping the bs2, the last 2 updates take it from a perfect intro to subtractive synthesis into way more experimental territory

I love my Minibrute. Very gnarly expressive synth. The Gen R8 is awesome as well. I'll probably get one eventually.

WASP is the sexiest of the three... I love the way it looks, and it has a vicious growl

A delectation of gnarliness. Impressive work Starsky.

I'll take all three.

Pleasantly surprised by the full tone of the GenR8, good pick and a synth that hasn't been on my radar. It does have a fat full sound eclipsing the Wasp which I own. Not a fan of the Arturia sound to be honest. I can understand its appeal, but to me sounds too processed. I love the filter on the Wasp and its ability to process external sounds.Great review, thanks for sharing :).

Cool vid, cheers! Minibrute is one of my fav synths - it’s not new & cool anymore but I think it’s already proving that it’ll stand the test of time as a great instrument. I agree that there’s just something about it that makes you want to play it, something physical. The keybed is awesome - have you looked under the keys? They’re metal under there, this thing is properly built :-D Also, it just sounds so ...organic. The only downside is that it takes forever to warm up, but hey proper analog and all that :-)

Wasp sounds a little more restrained, but refined at the same time.. Also the knobs don't wobble like they do on the Gen-R8...

I vote for the Stylophone 😊

Wow, at 17:40 that does sound cool on random with the osc's off!

Ok, so it's my day of daring to ask for comparisons I'd like to see. If you ever got a Arturia Minibrute 2 keyboard version I would love to see it compared to Moog Grandmother. It's another case of two synths that are very comparable but one is about half the price. I'd love a musical comparison as possible so we can hear a range of typical bass lines, arp lines, sequenced melodies, and played lines. I find the many possibilities on my Minibrute 2 not to be very musical and would like to maybe replace by Grandmother when I have the money. I already know I prefer the way modulation is implemented on the Grandmother but that's little to do with the sound

I'm more into the Brute (I own a Micro and it's awesome.) You should have chosen it instead of the Mini because the Micro is ~300€ brand new and it might be even more unusual than the Mini. Nice comparison/fight for these synths !!!

If only have a minibrute what else do I need to operate a wasp?

that's it. this video earned you a subscription xD

12db filters CAN be self-resonant. And actually all arturia synths have 12 db self-resonant filters (minibrute, microbrute and microfreak are all 12db self-resonant filters. Matrixbrute has 12db AND 24db self-resonant filters). Still, great video, as always on this chanel.

I would like to see a comparison between the Wasp deluxe and its closest relation on the market, theMicrofreak.

The minibrute does really sound massive for a single oscillator synth.. Wow

The Microbrute (at least here in the states) is at the $300 mark. The minibrute is about $450.

10:34 HOLY SHIT!

I stumbled across this video while searching for Stylophone Gen R8 reviews. As a long time Minibrute user I have to say that while it doesn't have the raw, dirty raunchiness of Gen R8, it still offers a lot (in many ways more) and get you to places Gen R8 can't. I was about to ditch my broken Minibrute, but after watching this I might try to fix it. I'd love to get my hands on Gen R8, but I've read bad things about build quality and less than stellar tuning. The Minibrute's build quality is awful and I don't want another synth for which there is no technical support anymore. Can you comment on Gen R8 build quality and tuning? Thanks.

The Minibrute hasn't been on sale for 2 years or so. The Minibrute 2 has recently dropped from £599 to around £399 (same for the 2s).

You sound a bit like Phil Schiller 😄 ! Great video and nice synths, thanks for sharing this! 👍

I really like the Wasp but those ports on the top bug the hell out of me.

The Wasp sounds most pleasant here

If you hold the glide button down on the Stylophone, can you fully control the microtonal portamento, or does it still quantize?

How's the noise level on your Gen R-8? Mine's pretty audible, even when it's not playing any notes.

Wow what a video!!

cant find the stylophone on Thoman or Musicstore

Gen R8 firmware update coming :)

a unique synthesizer for three hundred $ that I'd recommend is the "Korg monologue" for me.. mines my baby!🎹🎧💫😵👌👶👍✌

Wait what minibrute has a sequencer? I own one for a half year and I didn't know that. There are only rumors about that on Arturia's forum.

✨👍✨

If you want a unique analog synth UNDER £100, you can pick up an Akai Timbre Wolf. I just got one for $110 (£84) and $15 shipping (£11.50).
