Behringer EDGE Semi-Modular Percussion Synth - Secondhand

Full Description

Why choose the Behringer EDGE?

The Behringer EDGE provides insanely fat music creation with a pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO and VCF designs. This powerhouse features dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync, and FM for an expansive range of sounds. The white/pink noise source and external input offer unlimited additional timbres, while the multi-mode 24 dB resonant ladder filter includes low and high-pass options with cutoff modulation by noise. Detailed control is at your fingertips with three separate decay envelopes for pitch, filter cutoff, and amplitude.

Innovative Sequencing and Control Features

The dual 8-step sequencer with pitch and velocity controls inspires grooves and rhythms, with speeds up to 10,000 BPM for audio range waveform generation. Eight different time division rates and multiple clocking sources such as MIDI/USB enable synchronization with other equipment. Comprehensive MIDI implementation, including MIDI channel and voice priority selection, ensures seamless integration with your setup.

Semi-Modular Design and Vast Patching Options

The Behringer EDGE's semi-modular design requires no patching for immediate performance, thanks to its default routings. However, the 15 x 10 I/O matrix offers vast and flexible patching options. With 44 controls, you have direct, real-time access to all important parameters, giving you complete creative freedom in shaping your sound. The Behringer EDGE is perfect for those seeking a unique and inspiring instrument for their music production needs.
