Behringer has announced that the Edge – a hot pink knockoff of the Moog DFAM semi-modular drum synth – is now “in production and ready to ship.”
The Behringer Edge follows the precedent of their Crave synth, recreating a popular Moog Eurorack format synth as an inexpensive desktop module.
Edge is a semi-modular percussion synth. Like its inspiration, it features dual VCO’s with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM, to let you create a variety of percussive sounds.
In addition, it clones the DFAM’s dual-row 8-step sequencer, so you can control two aspects of the drum synth’s voice on each step.
Details are to come, but Behringer says that the Edge is ready to ship and they’ve previously said that they are targeting a $219 price.
Behringer has introduced what appears to be a close knockoff of the Moog DFAM, with the Edge semi-modular percussion synth. Already being likened by many to the Moog DFAM – which also happens to be a semi-modular percussion synth – this has a striking pink chassis, and promises a sound “as bold as its looks”.
This is generated by dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync, and FM. There’s also a dual 8-step sequencer, 15×10 patch matrix, and “comprehensive” MIDI implementation.
Behringer says that the Edge offers comprehensive MIDI implementation. They haven’t released specs for the Edge yet, but based on the interface, it looks like MIDI support is limited to receiving MIDI clock, vs offering MIDI control of drum voice parameters or sequencing of pitch and velocity.
Edge is designed as a sidekick for Behringer’s Crave synth, from which it takes plenty of design cues.
The Behringer Edge is priced at $219. Details on availability are to be announced.
