Today's live show included the legendary Bartek demonstrating the Polyeight - so we can assume this will be finally launching very soon!

Hello everyone,

When synced externally, turning the tempo knob should change the arp resolution. I just noticed that on both my machines(mk1 & mk2) the only way to get it to work is to have sync set to auto and seq auto-start activated.

What this does is that if I have an arp latched and running and stop my external sequencer, the synths keep running on their internal clocks. This is annoying and causes the arps to start off sync when the external clock starts again.

Both the mk1 and mk2 have the latest firmware and the ext clock comes from keystep pro.

I have recently started using their built in arps more so I have no idea if it worked any better on previous FW versions.

Has anyone come across this or has some input?

Thanks!

Swing Editor — a free, unofficial settings editor for the Behringer Swing

I got tired of digging through SHIFT + key combos to change the Swing’s global settings, so I wrote a small Windows app that does it all from one window. It’s free and open-source, built from scratch off the device’s own SysEx protocol — no code or assets from the official editor.

Just plug the Swing in over USB and it shows up automatically. Change anything and it’s written to the device half a second later, then read back to confirm it actually stored.

What it does

🔌 Auto-connect — finds the Swing on USB, no port picking.

⚡ Live + verified — every edit is applied and read back to confirm.

🗂️ Every global setting, in plain language — MIDI, keyboard/velocity, pedals, mod & pitch, clock & tempo, sequencer/arp, transposition, CV/Gate, transport, LED brightness. Grouped instead of one endless list, with a help line under each one.

🎛️ “DAW mode” (one click) — turns the Swing into a clean plain MIDI controller: keys, OCT−/OCT+, Hold, pitch bend and mod on channel 1, and nothing else. Transport off (so the Arp + Rec/Stop/Play clock combos don’t leak CCs into your DAW), transposition off, mod strip on standard CC 1, MIDI Thru off. One more click restores everything it changed.

💾 Presets — save/load your settings as .json, or restore what the Swing had when you connected it.

🌍 English & Spanish (follows your Windows language).

Get it Download / source: Link Repo

(Grab the .exe from the Releases page.)

Requires: Windows 10/11 + a Swing over USB.

I want to create plucks like in the video with the GRIND. However, I do not yet have a really satisfactory result. Attack and Decay are set relatively briefly. It sounds good but the "plop" and something wooden is still missing. Is that possible?

Hey everyone. I recently posted about a range of plugins that I’m working on to facilitate storing patch settings with your DAW session for synths with no patch storage.

Today I released a plugin for Poly D. I have plugins for several Behringer synths with more planned. If this sparks your interest check out my website minikod.rs

Plugins are available for Windows and macOS as VST3 and AU.

You can find a 50% discount code for any plugin in the Bedroom Producer's Blog article here: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2026/10/14/minikod-bpb-deal/

Here is a video overview of my plugin for Behringer Model D, everything that is demonstrated in the video applies to the Poly D and all other plugins from the Recall series:

Cheers!

What do the presets sound like without the chorus? Does the onboard chorus dramatically change the overall character of the synth ? I think you can accurately tell the sonic character of a synth without effects since sometimes effects can change the perception of the sound of the synth.

We have plenty of stock at DJLicht

Edit: the replacement power supply wasn't drawing enough power (despite being the right spec[?]). I now have a better quality power supply and the Model D is working fine!!

...

Bought a Model D on eBay.

Day one, all working fine.

Day two, plugged in the power cable while power switch on the model D was on... nothing. Whoops.

The power supply had an LED, which no longer comes on, so I got a new power supply (checking voltage, polarity etc matches).

Now, it just makes a low pulsing noise through the output but does not respond to any controls - including volume. Is the same with and without a midi device connected. Power LED flicks on then off immediately when it's powered on.

Am guessing it's toast. It's out of warranty. Called a repair shop (am in the UK) who said they couldn't do anything as Behringer won't release the schematic.

Any suggestions? Have raised a ticket with Behringer support but don't fancy my chances.

Write it off and sell for as 'parts only' on eBay?

Answers on a postcard.

Hello everyone,

I am a jazz(-fusion?)/funk/rock pianist. I got a Behringer Deepmind 12x and although I know that it can perfectly well serve my purposes, I am feeling a bit lost in the immensity of this machine. What I want to ask you is this: how do I approach this synth? I am mainly looking to explore leads (to solo, or moog-like riffs) and polyphonic stuff: rhodes, organs, etc, or ambient chordy sounds, to compose as well. And always for playing live, I'm not a producer nor do I have that interest.

I am lost in the millions of presets and at the possibilities of creating patches from scratch. Where do I start? How can I arrive at this number of sounds that I can then manipulate and work on? How would Chick Corea start using this synth?

Thank you for your help!

Ive listened to demos of it. It sounds good. 👍 I’ve never had a chance to play one. Was wondering 🤔 what the synth keybed was like and the build quality.What are your thoughts pros and cons?

Here a little project that i did a view months ago…i think it turned out really cool!

Hello,
Is the Grind capable of loading SysEx DX7/BX7 patches like the Brains Eurorack module is?
On the Brains, this is done via the synthtribe software.

I just purchased a new Behringer Odyssey. Pulled it out of the box and quickly began enjoying it. The music playing behind it is from a just released album of mine (Across a vast reach - Alpha Line).

Great little synth! Built like a metal tank and made to last a lifetime!

Enjoy!

Whaat do you think of the sound?

Recognizing the Behringer seems to be one of the only companies with the gumption to give the people what they want, I would love it if they made an Akai s series like sampler in medium format. These days, practically all sampler hardware are the phrase sampler variants and don’t really have the option to do multi samples across keys- giving you the option to make your own instruments. They would release both the 12 and 16 bit form, I’d probably buy both.

Hi everyone,

On Monday I received a new LmDrum ordered online from a store. On Friday, I started testing sample uploads, and everything fails with a FLASH WRITE ERROR.

Here is what I have already tried:

1) Using SynthTribe (v2.96 and v2.7.5 v3.2.4 and v3..2.9 ): The samples reach 100% in the app, but the aforementioned error FLASH WRITING ERROR appears on the device screen. The samples comply with all guidelines (bit depth, mono, size/weight, WAV length). I tried different sample packs. When using direct recording with a sampler connected, the sample appears on the LMDrum device, but saving it fails. In the sample list, I only have the factory samples (with a padlock icon) and zero custom ones.

2) Hardware and connection troubleshooting: Changed the USB cable, changed the USB port on the PC, and switched to a completely different PC. Nothing helped.

3) Device reset: Reset via menu (Settings -> About -> Factory Reset) does not help. My firmware version is: MCU1: 1.2.2, MCU2: V1.1.6. Sending samples individually (not multiple at once) changes nothing.

Does anyone know a solution? I don't want to waste time sending the equipment back to France where I bought it online, plus we threw away the boxes due to lack of space in the studio.

Is there any option other than warranty repair? Memory reset, a button combination on the device instead of resetting to defaults from the menu, or maybe a firmware downgrade?

Thanks for any help!

The Model 15 sounds great, but its sequencer is a complete mess (unusable) and I also found that some Midi control messages reset the modulation internal value (and you must move the corresponding knob to set it again).

With all those modern IA tools, do you think it's possibile to "decompile" its firmware to an usable commented C or C++ source code that can be modified and recompiled?

@ behringer (if some of you is listening): why don't you release an SDK for the synths models that you no longer support/improve? (some of the code could also remain undisclosed)

I think that many developers/musicians would be able to add control/digital features that would refresh the popularity of those affordable synths.

Hi everyone,

I’m making a universal preset librarian that works across Mac, iPad and iPhone. Works great with my ProVS mini, JT4000 micro and UB-1 micro. Should work with JT80, Deepmind and UB-Xa.

The Behringer minis will be free unlocks when it ships, and I’m offering a lifetime unlock of all synths to anyone who wants to help me beta test it.
