I owned one of the original Pearl units, although mine was a later model that came with two small Simmons style trigger pads rather than the acoustic looking ones. Apart from the built in MIDI, the killer feature of the Behringer is the pitch tracking - the original unit could be modified to add a CV input for pitch, but it wouldn't track pitch in any predictable way making it impossible to play conventional melodic parts.

Behringer is now my favorite manufacturer of fun music toys.
Love all the new releases ❤
This looks/sounds like it would be great for stereo patches, with two identical generators to play with 🙂

[Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Good overview.

Purely tonally, the device doesn't offer anything that a DFAM couldn't do, right (2 oscillators, mix, FM...)?

[Gerald_Daniel]

The "Krawallkastl" seems to be a surprise bag. Personally, it seems a little too limited for me, but the requirement seems to be totally fulfilled, as is the sound beyond any doubt.

Nice review, was looking forward to this. such a great value (and fun) for the price. This and the Octatrack make a good marriage :D

[TheIndustrialRetrospective]

I use a KAT multipad to trigger my drum machines manually!

I'm starting to sound repetitive when It comes to Behringers latest releases, but I think this will work pairing two of them. Especially for the price.

[mikegeary]

If they had made the mode function cv controllable it would be so much more powerful.

[louis_makes]

Great demo's! Its apparent simplicity really makes you underestimate the possibilities it has. At first glance it looked like a very limited machine

[texacomann]

Das coole ist ja dass man den syncussion auch über die Tastatur Tonal spielen kann

[mark-yjsg]

I’m sure you do have a trigger for it. Plug your mic in and tap its top.
The trigger on synth drums is generally just a piezo pickup.
You might even use headphone cones if you haven’t got a mic

[MadelnMachines]

Very cool version of the 7 nation army (if that’s what you intended)? I’d like a copy! I've wanted a Syncussion for ages.

[Nome_utente_generico]

all the sounds remind me of the theme songs on Italian national TV in 1980

[teamphil]

Originally I had no interest in this, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting one by year’s end. Hopefully they drop the price to $149 usd by then.

[soundunitz]

Just got mine. It's already used on a few tracks

[dyscotopia]

Is it velocity sensitive? A lot of the cheap analogs from Behringer are not. Analog drum machines in general tend to lack more than a couple velocities.
I do see that you can control decay over MIDI, which is a really nice bonus

[jriceblue]

I wasn't sure I even wanted to watch this video, I was so uninterested in the Syncussion when I heard about it. But I did (just trying to give the channel a little love), and ... now I think I want one in my studio.

Thanks! (Oder viellicht hätte ich "danke" sagen sollen? ...mit meiner schlechten amerikanischen Aussprache...)

[tiagojnrm]

Nice :) How come you already have one? Thomann says it's only available in a couple of months.

[jeffporrello]

Hi! I love the channel and watch often. I’d like to make a correction at the 8 minute mark. The selector switch chooses between Square and Triangle waveforms, not Square and Sawtooth. Keep up the great work!

[pablowentscobar]

Better then the Edge? I'm going to pick up an Edge, or do I wait for this? Any Idea when?
