The 70s and 80s saw the first wave of portable analog synthesizers. Renowned artists like Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, and others quickly embraced them, but they were temperamental and costly. The Behringer Neutron is an upgraded version with all the original features and more. It lets you create any monophonic sound easily and precisely. The pure analog signal path, based on authentic VCO, VCF, VCA, and state - variable filter designs, works with a flexible multi - wave LFO and classic Bucket Brigade Delay. In Paraphonic mode, you can control both 3340 analog oscillators independently for more tonal options. It can be mounted in a standard Eurorack, perfect for the studio or on - the - go. Owning a Neutron is like having a time machine for sound creation! Key features include paraphonic synthesis with dual 3340 oscillators for rich music, a pure analog signal for classic sounds, a semi - modular design for quick performance, oscillator waveform control with 5 shapes, individual pulse width and tone mod control, multi - mode VCF, 2 analog ADSR generators, BBD - based delay, a flexible LFO, a noise generator, an overdrive circuit, direct parameter access, utility functions for patching, a large jack matrix, patchable audio - rate sample and hold, a powerful headphone output, external audio input, and comprehensive USB/MIDI connection. It's designed and engineered in the UK.
Using the Behringer Neutron is a breeze. First, connect it to your power source and any external devices like a keyboard or sequencer via USB/MIDI. You can start making music right away thanks to its semi - modular architecture with default routings. Adjust the oscillator waveform control to blend between 5 shapes for different tones. Use the individual pulse width and tone mod control to get the ultimate sounds. The Paraphonic mode gives you more freedom to control the oscillators. When using the multi - mode VCF, play around with the dual output for unique effects. The 2 analog ADSR generators can be used to modulate the VCF and VCA. The BBD - based delay and flexible LFO add more depth to your music. For creative patching, use the utility functions and the large jack matrix. Be careful when handling the device to avoid any physical damage. Keep it in a dry and clean place. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug it from the power source. Regularly check the connections to make sure everything is working properly. With proper use and maintenance, the Behringer Neutron will serve you well for a long time.
