BehringerModel D Analog Synthesizer

Behringer's MODEL D Analog Synthesizer is inspired by Moog's classic Minimoog Model D. At a welcome price, this Eurorack-sized synth continues in the Moog tradition by introducing analog synthesis to a new generation of music makers. Like the original, Behringer's MODEL D is outfitted with incredible features and has a rich analog sound. It differs from the original in its Eurorack design - a design that removes the keyboard feature, increasing portability. In its place, the synth can be connected to and controlled by any number of synth controllers or USB devices via a USB-MIDI port. True to the original Designed and engineered in the U.K., this is an authentic reproduction of the original “D Type” circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs; 5 variable oscillator shapes with variable pulse widths; ultra-high precision 0.1% Thin Film resistors and Polyphenylene Sulphide capacitors; a pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs; a dedicated, fully analog triangle/square wave LFO with switchable low/high pass filters; a classic 24dB ladder filter with resonance; overdrive circuitry; low and high-level outputs with signal integrity stages; and a pink/white noise generator. This highly-focused attention to detail is what gives the MODEL D its ultra-flexible sound shaping capability, which covers everything from super-fat bass and lead tones, stunning effects, progressive organ sounds – and all the way out to the otherworldly sounds of your imagination. The result is a synth that produces legendary sound performance with expansive sonic possibilities. Creative expression and expansion MODEL D’s 3 highly-flexible Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) provide an incredible range of 5 waveforms for sculpting the perfect sound. Oscillators 1 and 2 options include: triangular; triangular/saw; saw; square; wide pulse; and narrow pulse, while OSC 3 features: triangular; reverse saw; saw; square; wide pulse; and narrow pulse. Additionally, all 3 VCOs can be adjusted across an extremely-wide, 6-octave range (LO, 32', 16', 8', 4', and 2'). This amazing flexibility gives you all the tools you need to be your creative best. Designed around an intuitively-linear workflow, MODEL D benefits greatly from its semi-modular design, which requires no patching for immediate performance. Just connect your favorite keyboard or computer via MIDI over DIN or USB – and start exploring the world of analog music synthesis right out-of-the-box. You can also take advantage of the synth’s analog circuitry by using the external audio input to process sounds from external sources, adding warmth and depth to any number of instruments. Like its predecessor, the Behringer Model D offers a classic sound—one that forged new musical genres and inspired artists like Dr. Dre, Kraftwerk, LCD Soundsystem, Trent Reznor and Gary Numan, to name a few.
