NAMM 2025: We can always trust Behringer to make a big splash with its announcements, and while its return to NAMM 2025 was huge news in itself, it's the company's all-new BX1 synth that's now stealing the headlines. But it's not quite the shock announcement, nor indeed the full-on clone, that you might think.
The BX1 is, on the face of it, a Yamaha DX1 clone with some extra bells and whistles thrown in, but when those extras happen to be multiple Yamaha CS-80-style components and a heap of effects, we're treading into new territory. This is no remake, but one of the most legendary synths ever released being recreated and married to the parts of another. You might even call it a 'new synth' if you were feeling particularly cavalier.
