Uli Behringer updates us on their plans for Eurorack domination that includes 40 modules over the next two years and that their first prototype is ready to go. You're going to be able to afford this.
This particular labour of love is still some way off as Behringer engineers knuckle down to try to make some money to fund synthesizer passion projects such as the UB-Xa.
