Hold on to your hats! Excitement is brewing as Behringer announced yesterday that the Spice synthesizer is finally here! After an agonizing wait, this highly anticipated synth is hitting music retailers soon.
Background:
- Rumor has it that Behringer faced litigation with Moog, the originator of the Subharmonicon, due to the Spice's strong resemblance.
- The Spice shares the same robust format as the Crave and Edge, known for their tank-like build quality, addressing concerns often raised about Behringer's durability.
Slight Disappointment:
- The headphone output is 3.5mm, lacking the 6.35mm jack found on many other devices.
Availability:
- In the UK, the Spice will be available in under two weeks.
- It's priced at £229 and is available for pre-order from Andertons Music Co. today.
- Patchdog has released videos showcasing the Spice's functionality and sound.
My Thoughts:
- I've pre-ordered mine from Andertons and expect to receive it within two weeks.
- I'll create first impressions videos once I have it.
- The Spice is a unique, semi-modular synthesizer that may take some time to fully grasp.
- Compared to the Moog Subharmonicon, the Spice offers incredible value.
- I'm excited to see how it integrates with my existing gear, including the Edge devices and the recently acquired RS9.
