Because I don't want to clutter the synthesizer gear porn thread, I decided to start a seperate thread about this manufacturer, who seem to raise very strong opinions. Some seem to hate Uli Behringer, while others consider him the savior of synthesizers, who deserves the same honour as Robert Moog, Alan R. Pearlman, Tom Oberheim and the other pioneers.

I have to admit that some business practices by Behringer are perhaps unethical, like for instance cloning stuff that is still around, like the Arturia Keystep.

This guy made an interesting video:



Still they have some interesting clones as well, like the MS-5, which is a Roland SH-5 clone, a synthesizer that is not available, exept perhaps as a soft-synth, or the System 55 (and the smaller ones), that are basicly Moog modular clones. They have also some ARP2500 and Roland system 100m modules cloned.

Anyone having experiences with Behringer synthesizers, or having some opinion?
