The only reason this exists is because Roland won't make it. I don't feel the slightest bit bad that Behringer saw the demand and moved on it. Roland could have been making these for almost 40 years now and didn't.

It's funny that everyone makes analog equipment these days except for Roland (& Yamaha).

The 808 vibe with the "Arturia" workflow? Yes please and thrice on Sunday

This is by far the best idea Behringer had so far. Look the products that Roland is putting out in the market, with no vision behind it, no new ideas, no inspiration. They can't even hold up to their legacy products. And here comes Behringer to take their legendary 808 to the next step. Shame on Roland, well done Behringer, you got my respect today.

Thanks guys, my wife walked in on me watching this and said"thats neat, you should get one of those" damn that was an easy one.... hope if that cs80 clone comes out she'll have the same response

Behringer has the perfect business plan: Take all the old stuff we love and make it again.

This specific pattern at 12:42 is one of the most famous patterns! It's Juan Atkin's, under his Cybotron moniker. This song is called Clear. It's one of the songs credited as a precursor to Detroit Techno. We were listening to this in high school, right before techno was born in Detroit.

OK, sounds great. Now who wants to start a Drexciya tribute band with me?

[pablovanga]

I love that he uses Electro Beats for these videos it's the one reason I want this machine.

I'm impressed. Great performance features, nice build, they nailed the sounds. My original 808 is looking at me weird...

[trueatfalse]

I would love to have a "built like a tank" option for all behringer gear, where you can just pay 20% on top and get tank quality for the knobs, case etc ;-)

12:25 Putting on Gabba techno for background music at Xmas and then being told to rein it in by your dad

When I get one, I wanna take it apart and switch the color scheme back. Might be easy.

The RD Kick turns my monitor into a powerful fan.

[Rolanoid]

N-N-N-Nineteen was the first pattern. I had fun programming that when I had an 808 back in the 80's.

14:27 “So you can really start to OOH!” ... someone please remix this!! 🔥🔥🔥

[gregg_msk]

I love that fact that these guys are happy like kids, when they interract with any music stuff=))

[matiasmoulin]

I love Nick and really like to watch him but he starts getting more and more annoying with too many interruptions. He should let people talk more.

@ 7:52 was "19" by Paul Hardcastle and at 8:08 and 12:30 (nicely timed) was "CLEAR" by Cybotron

[valdiskrebs]

Was expecting the Behringer Pro One clone under the grey cloth... great demo!
More outro jams!!!
