Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Behringer Stuff (was AN1x vs. Access b)

On the subject of Mackie Vs Behringer- I own 3 Mackie boards (& no
Behringer)- but lately the compact Behringer mixers are priced attractively-
and you get linear pots instead of knobs (for better visual representation-
or old ARP fanatics..you choose)

I played around with the $100 Behringer Virtualizer Pro last night.

I still have no Idea how many bands the Vocoder is- You'd think the Germans
would be Thorough in their specs- but there is no mention of Bands anywhere
in the manual or on their Website (I've emailed them and haven't heard back
yet). So is it worth $100 ??
I like the Vocoder. Sounds at least like 7 bands- Ran Drums and a Mic
into it with a Buzzy Nord lead chord and it sounded good. (not as nice as
the 21-band Vocoder on my Boss SE-70- but better than the Analog
Electroharmonix Vocoder I used in the 80's)
The Reverbs were strange. Hard to descibe. Not cheap like a Quadraverb-
but they all sounded similar to each other..like.... well.... a Quadraverb.
Flange was OK.. Chorus may be usable (needs tweakin').. Delays are
alright.
......Did I mention the Vocoder ??

Now I promise to return to the subject of our beloved AN1x (sorry for the
off-topic bit)
