Behringer MS-1 MK II

The Behringer MS-1 MKII Analog Synthesizer is a vintage-inspired monophonic synthesizer designed for thick bass sounds and powerful anthemic leads. Featuring an authentically vintage 3340 analog oscillator this monophonic synthesizer offers a robust sound shaping toolkit with four simultaneous waveforms and advanced modulation sources to open up a... morerange of extra textures to your palette. Its enhanced VCF and VCA circuits deliver a dynamic and rich sound while the onboard 32-step sequencer delivers simple effective playability with plenty of rhythmic and timbral possibilities. In addition to the usual oscillators filters envelopes and LFO the MS-1 MKII utilises the NovaMod FM engine to let you create audio-rate modulations for a range of filter FM possibilities to add movement and gentle texture or even gnarly distortion-like sounds. The MS-1 MKII has versatile connectivity with USB MIDI and CV connectivity allowing it to receive MIDI from a controller keyboard or other synth sequencer computer or MIDI interface while its sync input lets you match the arpeggiator and sequencer tempo to other gear like drum machines grooveboxes or samplers and CV inputs let you integrate it into modular systems.

Unleash the raw power and iconic sound of a classic era with the BEHRINGER MS-1 MK II-GY. This meticulously engineered, pure analog monophonic synthesizer is a faithful and vibrant recreation of one of the most celebrated synthesizers of the 1980s, now presented in a sleek gray finish and optimized for the modern musician. Whether you´re crafting e... morearth-shaking basslines, searing lead melodies, or dynamic arpeggiated textures, the MS-1 MK II-GY provides an authentic and hands-on journey into the heart of synthesis.At the core of its massive sound is the legendary 3340 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), the very same design that powered countless hit records. This powerful oscillator provides four simultaneously mixable waveforms: sawtooth, triangle, square, and a square wave sub-oscillator, giving you a rich sonic palette to build from. Create everything from sharp, biting tones to warm, rounded sounds, and add incredible depth with pulse-width modulation (PWM) for that classic animated character.Shape and sculpt your sound with the highly flexible Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF). This resonant 4-pole filter is the key to the MS-1´s expressive nature, allowing for smooth, creamy sweeps, percussive plucks, and the signature squelch that defined an entire generation of electronic music. The dedicated ADSR envelope generator gives you precise control over the filter and amplifier, enabling you to design sounds with sharp attacks, long, evolving decays, and everything in between.The MS-1 MK II-GY is not just a sound source, it´s a complete performance and composition instrument. Spark your creativity with the intuitive 32-step sequencer, which allows you to program and save up to 64 patterns for instant recall. Complementing the sequencer is a versatile arpeggiator, perfect for generating complex, rhythmic melodic lines with ease. For expressive, real-time performance, the instrument features 32 semi-weighted, full-size keys that offer a responsive and professional feel.A truly unique feature is the included attachable handgrip and guitar strap, allowing you to break free from the keyboard stand and perform on stage like a true synth-rock icon. The comprehensive modulation options, including a flexible LFO with multiple waveforms and extensive CV/Gate connectivity, ensure the MS-1 MK II-GY can integrate seamlessly with modular systems and other vintage gear. Modern connectivity is also fully covered with both USB and 5-pin MIDI In/Out/Thru, making it the perfect centerpiece or addition to any studio setup. Experience the authentic analog workflow and timeless sound that continues to inspire artists across the globe with the BEHRINGER MS-1 MK II-GY
