The Behringer 297 is an awesome combo of a portamento and a mixer. It authentically reproduces the original 'System 100M' circuitry from the 80s and fits perfectly in a standard Eurorack case. And the best thing? It comes at a very affordable price! You can either add it to your existing setup or kick - start your modular synth adventure. Here are its great features: It combines an amazing portamento controller and CV utilities from the early 80s. It has an exact reproduction of the original 'System 100M' circuitry. There are 2 independent CV signal mixers with 4 inputs and attenuators. The 2 portamento controllers can be modulated through dedicated CV inputs. It has 2 constant voltage generators supporting +/- 10 V for full control. The CV mixers have 2 normal and 2 inverted outputs for more flexibility. With 12 controls, you can access all important parameters in real - time. Eurorack specs: 16 HP, 70 mA +12 V, 60 mA -12 V.
Using the Behringer 297 is easy. First, if you're adding it to an existing rig, just slot it into your standard Eurorack case. If you're starting a new modular synth setup, this can be a great foundation. To use the portamento controllers, you can connect them to other modules via the dedicated CV inputs. You can then adjust the parameters using the 12 controls on the front panel. The CV mixers allow you to mix different CV signals, and you can choose between the normal and inverted outputs depending on your needs. When it comes to the constant voltage generators, they support +/- 10 V, giving you a wide range of control. As for maintenance, keep the module clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to move it, handle it gently to prevent any internal damage. And always make sure to turn off your power supply before making any connections or disconnections.
