Behringer MS-1 MKII Analog Synthesizer, Red

Full Description

Enhanced sound creation tools

The MS-1 MKII's core is powered by the iconic 3340 voltage-controlled oscillator, capable of generating four waveforms simultaneously. This allows for a broad palette of sounds—from deep basses to piercing leads. The upgraded VCF and VCA designs offer improved clarity and sonic purity, ensuring that each note played is distinct and full of character.

Dynamic performance features

Equipped with a versatile 32-step sequencer and an arpeggiator with diverse patterns, the synthesizer excels in live performance settings. These tools enable musicians to craft compelling sequences and texture-rich arpeggios on the fly, adding depth and complexity to any musical piece.

Extensive modulation capabilities

With six FM sources derived from the innovative NovaMod system, the synthesizer provides extensive control over filter modulation, opening up possibilities for unique sound effects and transitions. This feature is particularly useful for creating evolving soundscapes and dynamic rhythmic patterns.

Complete connectivity and control

Integration into any studio or live setup is made effortless with the synthesizer's comprehensive USB and MIDI implementation. This connectivity allows for smooth interfacing with other equipment, enabling extensive control and synchronization, which is vital for seamless music production and performance.
