Another unique Classic
Elektroboots 20.12.2023
This is one synth that i thought id never get to own, or even get this version soon, luckily spotted this in stock on here and grabbed one( thank you Thomann!) .like the rest of the Behringer synths this doesn't disappoint although ive no way of comparing it to an original i have watched online comparisons of the other synths that are spot on .the quality is great and has a really unique sound !AND at a great price point you can't complain at that .Thankyou Behringer!

Pure fun and sound satisfaction, for a price hard to believe
Robotique 14.02.2024
I've, like most of us, never played a real RSF Kobol Expander (the 19" rack synth this is based on), but it surely sounds wonderful. Warm, fat, raw and when patched up, extremely vivid and weird/wild.

With the additional rack ears, I've mounted it with my other semi-modulars. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to make space for yet another Kobol Expander. The two of them will surely make a great team, in unison or duo mode, patched in between the both units.

A must-buy if you want something extraordinary.

I can write a long story here, but 200,- for as far i know a full discrete module is grazy. I even get low end while resonance on full in certain settings. Recomended!

Great sound
Synthscape 12.03.2024
I don't like the absence of dedicated release controls on the envelopes and the way P.W.M. is handled, but what a sound!!!! Really beautiful, dynamic, strong sound, i love it. Great price, too.
