hey there, 

I recently recieved a replacement TD-3 as I had to return a faulty unit. Does anyone know what I need to do on the care portal in order to update the product registration?

Do I simply register the unit as a net-new, file a special kind of ticket to update the current registration, call or email someone? 

I don't necessarily want to try registering again from scratch, because the previous unit came with an extended waranty and I don't want to lose that.

Thanks!

We're very excited about having received our second revision of the PRO-16 boards. Our software and systems engineers have been working hard to  get the earlier revision up and running. In the process we made improvements and corrections, which were all implemented in this latest board layout. As you can see this 16-voice synth has an insane amount of analog components.

The team feels confident that this board revision should be final. Fingers crossed:-)

The portamento fader seems to be defective.  I know many others are having the same issue.  Only the top 10% of the fader controls 90% of the portamento speed.  Dialing in the right amount of portamento is very difficult and it would be almost impossible to set during a live performance.

I tried the trick where you add +10v CV to the portamento but it has very little effect. Trying to figure out of this is a bug or not.

Thanks

Oscilatior 1 on my Poly D is further out of tune than the tuning knob will let me fix.  I've downloaded the Synthtribe for Mac App in hopes of resetting it to factory default settings but I don't see the 'factory reset' option. 

Online instuctionals say it should be in the "General" tab but it's not there in my app.  Looking online, I see where it would be for PC's but the interface looks somwhat different for Macs and I don't see that option.  

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to adjusat the oscilator or reset the settings to factory default? 

Hermann was gracious enough to provide incredible support for the development of our Wave synthesizer, which is now in its final stage. We spent over two years of intense development to recreate the sound of this iconic instrument.

Here's what Hermann has to say:

"My first Impressions of the new Blue Machine. I've had the honor and fun to play with the beta of the upcoming Behringer Wave for some time now. Putting it on top of its great-great-granddaddy, the PPG wave 2.2, which it is currently modeled after. It’s a much smaller form factor, mostly thanks to the 4-octave keyboard. I'd have preferred the original's 61-key layout, but the 49 full-size keys are OK, professionals will have a big controller or master keyboard anyway. For most purposes, 4 octaves are enough. The smaller overall size is no problem; the controller elements work quite well - they are large enough, with enough space in between, (former) PPG owners won't need much time to readjust, newcomers will find it easy to work with.
The display is quite similar to the original, the various pages (Analog, Digital and Tuning) look and work precisely like the original. I couldn't help grinning when I saw that they included the Mod Wheel setting on the Analog page in the same way I did in my V8.3 for the original, hehe... nice touch, Behringer;-)

The Program page is a bit different and doesn't have exactly the same feature set, while some things are implemented in a different way, like the relatively hard to use sequencer of the original. OK, back then, the complete operating system of the PPG Wave had to fit into 24k; a very tight fit. Oh yes, there's a little oscilloscope display beneath the main display. It works quite well.

Now regarding the most important part, the big question:

"Yeah, but does it sound like a PPG?" - I think they pretty much nailed it. I've played through all of the factory programs I know and love since many years, and it reproduced them dutifully and very much in an authentic way. Editing new sounds should be no problem to anyone already familiar with the PPG Wave, and the results match the original to a really high degree; complete identity is unreachable anyway, since each and every PPG sounds a bit differently, thanks to the analog chips and the "tuned by ear" filters. But it comes really, really close. Plus, it already got some features surpassing the original, and I'm sure more will be added over time, once the basics are fully working. The OS still needs to be fully completed, but the sound is already fully there in my opinion. Well, that's it - these are my first impressions on a new Blue Machine in my arsenal. Of course, a WaveTerm app is planned in collaboration with Behringer when the unit is ready for production. Really exciting project and I enjoy being part of this revival."

Some time ago we showed you a draft of our AKS Mini, a scaled down version of the VCS3 but with the exact same oscillators, filters etc. and of course the magic sound.

We received such great feedback that we decided to simply build a prototype. And here it is:-)

But we haven’t yet decided if we’ll build it and maybe we’ll keep it just keep it for ourselves - just kidding:-)

Retail price is targeted at US$ 99.

Of course the final unit will have the USB-C connector:-)
