Behringer Syncussion SY-1

I bought the Syncussion SY-1 without thinking twice after I see the demo video and it's even better when got it in your hands!
This machine is very versatile and you can set very delicate and different percussive instruments and tons of differents sound effects, works best with a very good reverb :D
You can create an infinite amount of kick drum or snares with all the parameters at your hand, if I had enough space I would want to buy 3 or 4 Syncussion to get a complete analog drum machine :)

The Syncussion SY-1 is one of those instruments that reminds you why analog percussion still matters. This is not a polite rompler or a glossy modern module. It is alive, sometimes raw, incredibly fast to program, and able to sit in a mix with a personality many contemporary units simply do not have.

The two fully independent voices make it easy to build kicks, toms, zaps, laser shots and synthetic percussion within seconds. The pitch envelope is really the heart of the sound. Wide range, sharp attacks, and the ability to move from round, deep hits to aggressive transients with minimal tweaking. The filter and decay controls are equally musical and never feel artificial or static.

What I love most is the immediacy. A small set of well-chosen parameters, no menus, no hidden layers. Turn a knob and you instantly hear the result. From a production standpoint that means speed, inspiration, and no friction.

Output level is strong and it pairs beautifully with outboard or software processing. It takes compression and saturation extremely well, getting huge without losing clarity or impact.

Considering the price, it is almost embarrassing how authoritative this unit sounds. If you are after true analog electronic percussion with character, this is absolutely worth it.

I've had one of these for about a year, but only recently have I realized the full potential of this versatile machine.
It is far more than a two-channel percussion module. It offers an incredible panoply of timbres and the quickest user interface for sound design that I've ever used.
I like it so much that I've decided to order another couple of units.
One can effortlessly create all the necessary building blocks to sculpt IDM, industrial, rhythmic noise, dark ambient and beyond.
I cannot recommend this wonderful instrument highly enough.
