In the 1980s and 90s, a new wave of synth users emerged, including music legends like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Radiohead, and filmmaker John Carpenter. They were all inspired by the sounds of the iconic Prophet - 5. The CRAVE is an ultra - affordable homage to this classic synthesizer. It comes with all the original features and more, such as a 32 - step sequencer and an arpeggiator. With it, you can easily create almost any sound with amazing precision. The CRAVE has a pure analog signal path, an authentic 3340 VCO with pulse and sawtooth wave outputs, and highly flexible VCF and VCA filters. It's bound to become your favorite keyboard. Owning the CRAVE is like having a time - traveling tool, letting you explore the past or shape the future of music! Key features include: an analog synthesizer with a Prophet 5 - inspired VCO for fat music creation; a pure analog signal path based on authentic designs; a super - rich oscillator for ultimate sounds; a classic Moog 24 dB ladder filter for legendary performance; switchable low/high pass filter modes; a modern and easy - to - use 32 - step sequencer with 64 storage slots; an advanced arpeggiator with wide patterns; a dedicated fully analog triangle/square wave LFO; a 16 - voice Poly Chain for multi - synth combination; a semi - modular design for immediate performance; an 18 x 14 I/O matrix for flexible patching; a noise generator to expand waveform generation; 47 controls for real - time parameter access; an external audio input for processing external sounds; comprehensive MIDI implementation with channel and Voice Priority selection; and it's designed and engineered in the UK.
Using the Behringer CRAVE synthesizer is a breeze. First, plug it in using the UK plug provided. To start making music, turn it on and you can use the 47 controls to directly access important parameters like volume, pitch, and timbre. If you want to create complex rhythms, use the 32 - step sequencer. You can store up to 64 different sequences onboard. The arpeggiator is great for adding interesting sound effects. Just select the pattern you like. For those who want to combine multiple synths, the 16 - voice Poly Chain feature allows you to do that. When it comes to patching, the semi - modular design with default routings means you can start performing right away. But if you want more flexibility, use the 18 x 14 I/O matrix. You can also process external sound sources by connecting them to the external audio input. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. When not in use, turn it off to save energy. Make sure to handle it gently to avoid any damage to the controls or the body. And that's it! Now you're ready to create amazing music with your CRAVE.
