Behringer takes on the DFAM with Edge percussion synth

>After a quiet spell, Behringer have just come bursting back onto the scene with the announcement of the Edge semi-modular percussion synth. 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, 15x10 patch matrix, and “comprehensive” MIDI implementation.

Edge is designed as a sidekick for Behringer’s Crave synth, from which it takes plenty of design cues. It has a list price of $219, but we don’t yet know when it’ll be released.
