Behringer MS-101-RD analoge monofone synthesizer

General

Behringer's MS-1 is an analogue monophonic synthesizer that's based on Roland's classic SH-101. It has 32 full-size, semi-weighted keys and a number of modern features including USB-MIDI, alongside traditional MIDI. Even if you're a beginner, you'll find this synth easy to get to grips with.

The MS-1 is fully analogue and has a VCO, a VCF and a VCA on board. The VCO has saw, triangle and square/pwm waveforms as well as a sub-oscillator and there's also a noise generator and an input for external audio. An envelope controls both the volume and the filter and the LFO (modulator) lets you choose between four waveforms. The MS-1 also has FM synthesis, something the original SH-101 doesn't have. It's got an arpeggiator and a sequencer on board too. The MS-1 also has an attachable handgrip with a pitch bend wheel and a pitch modulation trigger as well as a guitar strap to aid live performances.
