Behringer has introduced Vintage, its first software synth plugin.
They say that “Vintage is packed with all the features you need to effortlessly get those lush, classic synth tones that made the 70s and 80s roar, or you can also create your own wild patches!”
Features:
- Sine, square, saw, and noise waveforms
- Lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch modes
- Dual LFO with controls for rate, attack delay and retrig
- Synthesizer engine based on meticulous modelling of the analog circuitry of legendary vintage synthesizers
- Carefully crafted UI for intuitive sound sculpting and vast sonic possibilities
- Two high-quality oscillators with hard sync function and selectable waveform: sine, square, saw, noise and sub-oscillator
- Pulse width modulation of square wave oscillator
- Two versatile filters featuring 12/24 dB switchable lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and formant modes, plus selectable drive curves for lush harmonic saturation
- Filter ADSR controls are easily accessible on the main UI and a flexible routing scheme allows for serial or parallel filtering
- Noise generator with Color knob controlling low pass cut-off
- Following the filters two amplitude modules allows for panning and levelling with controllable ADSR envelope
- Powerful dual LFO to modulate Oscillator, Filters and Amplifiers. The two LFOs have separate controls for rate, attack, delay, retrig and waveform, which encompass triangle, sine, random and square wave with pulse width control

Do the keys on a soft synth make anyone feel like they’re really playing it or own the hardware? Anyone know why this asthetic continues in new soft synths? Making patches without a keyboard or piano roll?
Yes, I use it quite often on my touchscreen. It’s useful for some scenarios, i.e. quickly comparing octaves without the need to constantly switch to piano roll or pre-plan what you want to hear
Definitely sounds like free.
Free with a registration to MusicTribe.
Mate, you couldn’t pay me to register for that.
Randy, keys make it more quickly appealing to hobbyists, although frankly, I like them for the simple visual reference when I’m adjusting parameters. Its no biggie to me. I’ve played long enough to grab things on the fly, regardless of GUI.
I know its a bit unfashionable to say so, but if I wouldn’t trust their hardware, I darned well don’t want them in my computers. The world is blossoming with great instruments like Tone 2’s Rayblaster 3 and a lot of good freebies. I let the demo roll and there’s nothing distinctive there, to my ear. If B could offer something as seriously broad as Arturia’s Pigments….
Someone say that it was taken down due to copyright issues
– The knob graphics is too similar to tone2 saurus and the button graphics looks almost like a mic preamp from SPL.
– The whole layout and functionality of the display is an 1:1 copy from the ableton live AAS Analog.
– The logo with the name “vintage” and its typography is an 1:1 copy from Tubeohm Vintage.
No news from Beringa social media channels about the incident
Yes the ui is a basic copy paste, i wonder if Markus from Tone2 have seen it
what a dumb world.
Sound meh… glad it only took them 3 years to develop and a codebase copied from another company to release this pile lol
