Behringer MS-1 MKII Analog Synthesizer, Red - Nearly New Overview
The Behringer MS-1 MKII Analog Synthesizer is a vintage-inspired monophonic synthesizer designed for thick bass sounds and powerful, anthemic leads. Featuring an authentically vintage 3340 analog oscillator, this monophonic synthesizer offers a robust sound shaping toolkit with four simultaneous waveforms and advanced modulation sources to open up a range of extra textures to your palette. Its enhanced VCF and VCA circuits deliver a dynamic and rich sound, while the onboard 32-step sequencer delivers simple, effective playability with plenty of rhythmic and timbral possibilities.
In addition to the usual oscillators, filters, envelopes, and LFO, the MS-1 MKII utilises the NovaMod FM engine to let you create audio-rate modulations for a range of filter FM possibilities to add movement and gentle texture, or even gnarly distortion-like sounds. The MS-1 MKII has versatile connectivity with USB, MIDI and CV connectivity, allowing it to receive MIDI from a controller keyboard or other synth, sequencer, computer or MIDI interface, while its sync input lets you match the arpeggiator and sequencer tempo to other gear like drum machines, grooveboxes, or samplers, and CV inputs let you integrate it into modular systems.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionEnhanced sound creation tools
The MS-1 MKII's core is powered by the iconic 3340 voltage-controlled oscillator, capable of generating four waveforms simultaneously. This allows for a broad palette of sounds—from deep basses to piercing leads. The upgraded VCF and VCA designs offer improved clarity and sonic purity, ensuring that each note played is distinct and full of character.
Dynamic performance features
Equipped with a versatile 32-step sequencer and an arpeggiator with diverse patterns, the synthesizer excels in live performance settings. These tools enable musicians to craft compelling sequences and texture-rich arpeggios on the fly, adding depth and complexity to any musical piece.
Extensive modulation capabilities
With six FM sources derived from the innovative NovaMod system, the synthesizer provides extensive control over filter modulation, opening up possibilities for unique sound effects and transitions. This feature is particularly useful for creating evolving soundscapes and dynamic rhythmic patterns.
Complete connectivity and control
Integration into any studio or live setup is made effortless with the synthesizer's comprehensive USB and MIDI implementation. This connectivity allows for smooth interfacing with other equipment, enabling extensive control and synchronization, which is vital for seamless music production and performance.
