Behringer Ms101 Rd Analog Synthesizer

***MK II Version featuring improved VCF and VCA designs, dual-mode portamento and Sync In functions***

The 1980s and ’90s spawned a new “wave” of synth performers including Devo, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method and a host of others, all empowered by the sound of a simple strap-on instrument that let keyboardists steal the spotlight away from their guitar-wielding bandmates. An ultra-affordable homage to that iconic synthesizer with all the features of the original and then some, such as a 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator and live performance kit, the MS-1 MKII-RD lets you conjure up virtually any sound with incredible finesse and ease. With its 32 semi-weighted full-size keys, pure analogue signal path, authentic 3340 VCO with 4 simultaneously-mixable waveforms, plus extremely flexible VCF and VCA filters, the MS-1 MKII-RD is sure to become your favourite keyboard. Owning the MS-1 MKII-RD is like having your own personal time machine, enabling you to embrace the past – or make your imprint on the future!

Great care has been taken in engineering the MS-1 MKII-RD, including the true to the original analogue circuitry, legendary VCO, VCF and VCA designs, all of which combine to make it easy to recreate the classic sound performance. This highly-focused attention to detail is what gives the MS-1 MKII-RD its ultra-flexible sound shaping capability, which covers everything from super-fat bass and lead tones to stunning effects – and all the way out to the otherworldly sounds of your imagination.

The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1980s and ’90s are etched in the annals of progressive rock, wave, EDM and synth-pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. The MS-1MKII-RD lets you recreate all of that magic – or design incredibly fat and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right!

MS-1 MKII-RD’s authentic 3340 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) provides an incredible range of 4 simultaneously-mixable waveforms for sculpting the perfect sound. Options include: saw, triangle, square/pwm and octave-divided square sub-oscillator. Additionally, the VCO can be adjusted across a wide, 4-octave range (16′, 8′, 4′, and 2′). This amazing flexibility gives you the tools needed to be your creative best.
