Behringer EDGE Semi-Modular Percussion Synth - Secondhand

Full Description

Analog Semi-Modular Percussion Synthesizer

This Analog semi-modular percussion synthesizer provides insanely fat music creation with a pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO and VCF designs. It features dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM for a huge range of sounds. The white/pink noise source and external input offer unlimited additional timbres. The multi-mode 24 dB resonant ladder filter includes low and high-pass options, plus cutoff modulation by noise. Three separate decay envelopes for pitch, filter cutoff, and amplitude allow for detailed control over the sound.

Innovative Sequencing and Control Features

A dual 8-step sequencer with pitch and velocity controls inspires grooves and rhythms while the sequencer speed can reach up to 10,000 BPM for audio range waveform generation. The time division control features 8 different rates, and multiple clocking sources such as MIDI/USB enable synchronization with other equipment. Additionally, comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and voice priority selection ensures seamless integration with your setup.

Semi-Modular Design and Vast Patching Options

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