The Behringer Wave: get gritty
Finally caved and got one of these. Tariffs are about to rain hell on the synth markets and while I've traditionally been very anti-B*, here was one synth where I didn't feel like it was really treading on the toes of anyone currently making products. Well, it does kind of sort of tread on the Waldorf M but in such a non-1:1 way that you can't just write it off as a copycat clone. So here's my brief take on it and, in reality, a simple Wave vs M take (Quantum gets to sit this one out). The M has a ton more features so I'm just sticking to the basics. Also worth noting that the 3rd Wave should also be in this mix but I’ve only played one briefly and anyway the basic feature overlap should be pretty obvious. Pros : -grit is great (seems to be the same as Waldorf M in MW mode, as Starsky Carr showed, but still feels crunchier?). The stepped modulation that comes with the OG oscillator mode is also very authentically crap (crap meaning good). -LFO in OG mode is awesom...
