For a long time, the Behringer D Synthesizer prices spun around, but now there is clarity. The company announced today that the D Synthesizer will be available for $299 MAP in US. Due of the massive backorders, they have achieved to realize this very low price. There are still no informations about a UK or EU price but I expected a price of between 379€ & 399€ for the EU and for UK a price of 339£ / 359£. Due of factory changes, the synth will be probably available in Q4 2017.
With this official price will Behringer attack the budget synthesizer market massively and it will be interesting to see what the future will bring. Will KORG, Roland and other companies react to this price point with new affordable instruments? We will see in future.

Hm … mal abwarten wo sich der Preis in der EU einpendeln wird. Zu Bedenken gilt auch US Preise sind meist ohne Steuer. Spannend bleibt es trotzdem!
I agree, Rob.
