The latest XNB video offers a complete overview of the Behringer Edge, a knockoff of the Moog DFAM drum synthesizer.
Like Behringer’s Crave synth, the Edge copies a popular Moog Eurorack format synth as an inexpensive desktop module. Like its inspiration, the Edge features dual VCO’s with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM, to let you create a variety of percussive sounds. It also copies the DFAM’s dual-row 8-step sequencer, so you can control two aspects of the drum synth’s voice on each step.
As always, XNB’s video is not intended to be a review, but a deep guide into the synth and its capabilities.
British synthesist Dave Bessell – who, with Flood, Ed Buller & Mel Wesson make up the Berlin style synth supergroup Node – has shared Live At Awakenings, a recording capturing a recent live performance.
Here’s what Dave Bessell say about it:
“Usually I’m told my electronic music has a dark edge to it. I hear it as more atmospheric and mythical. Perhaps you will hear it differently?
On the night of the performance, there was a large pale rainbow halo around a full moon. This rather rare phenomenon is caused by ice crystals in the air and inspired the title of the last track.
This is hand-made music – by humans, for humans. To everyone who attended the sell out gig – thanks for the support!”
