Behringer's founder, Uli Behringer, has a profound love for keyboards. Born in 1961 in Baden, a small Swiss town, he grew up in a musical family. His mother taught him piano at four, and his scientist father built a large organ at home and introduced him to electronics. At 17, Uli crafted his first synthesizer, the UB - 1. In college, while studying audio engineering, he used his electronics know - how to build equalizers and signal processors due to the lack of proper studio equipment at the university. Word spread about his high - quality products, and the BEHRINGER legacy began.
This amazing analog synthesizer features a triple VCO design for creating extremely rich music. It authentically reproduces the original D Type circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs. Ultra - high precision 0.1% Thin Film resistors and Polyphenylene Sulphide capacitors are used. The pure analog signal path is based on authentic VCO, VCF, and VCA designs.
It offers 5 variable oscillator shapes with variable pulse widths for ultimate sounds. The classic 24 dB ladder filter with resonance delivers legendary sound performance. You can switch between low/high pass filter modes for better sound creation. There's a dedicated and fully analog triangle/square wave LFO.
The 16 - voice Poly Chain allows you to combine multiple synthesizers for up to 16 - voice polyphony. The semi - modular design needs no patching for instant performance. An overdrive circuit adds a unique flavor to your sounds, and the noise generator greatly expands waveform generation. It's a complete Eurorack solution, and the main module can fit into a standard Eurorack case.
With 48 controls, you have direct and real - time access to all important parameters. There's an external audio input for processing external sound sources. The low and high - level outputs have high - integrity signal stages. It also has comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and Voice Priority selection. Designed and engineered in the U.K.
Using this Behringer synthesizer is easy. First, connect it to your power source and any other audio equipment you want to use, like speakers or a computer. You can start making music right away thanks to the semi - modular design that doesn't need any patching.
To create different sounds, play around with the 48 controls. Adjust the oscillator shapes and pulse widths to get the ultimate sound you're looking for. The low/high pass filter modes can be switched to enhance your sound creation.
When using the 16 - voice Poly Chain, you can connect multiple synthesizers together for a more complex and full - sounding polyphony. Just make sure the connections are secure.
If you want to add some edge to your sounds, turn on the overdrive circuit. And the noise generator can be used to expand the waveform generation in interesting ways.
For maintenance, keep the synthesizer in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it off. And make sure to update the MIDI settings according to your needs for the best performance.
