MS-1 MK II

The Behringer MS-1 MK II is a vibrant and powerful monophonic analog synthesizer that pays tribute to a legendary and iconic monosynth of the 1980s, famous for its straightforward layout and massive sound. Presented here in a striking red finish, this synthesizer features a 32-note keyboard, a single authentic 3340 VCO, a classic 4-pole low-pass filter, and a range of performance-oriented features, including an attachable handgrip for unleashing your inner keytar hero. The MS-1 MK II is an incredibly fun and inspiring instrument, perfectly suited for creating timeless analog basslines, searing lead sounds, and a wide variety of other classic synthesizer tones. Its intuitive, hands-on control panel makes it a joy to play for both beginners and seasoned synthesists.

The heart of the MS-1 MK II is its pure analog signal path, which is based on the authentic 3340 VCO and classic VCF/VCA designs that defined the sound of its predecessor. The oscillator offers four mixable waveforms (sawtooth, triangle, square/pulse with PWM, and a square sub-oscillator) for a rich tonal palette. The filter is a resonant 4-pole low-pass design that can be modulated by the LFO and envelope generator to create dynamic sweeps and textures. An extensive LFO, a flexible VCA controlled by a full ADSR envelope, and a 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator add deep sound-shaping and performance capabilities. With its classic sound, performance features, and bold look, the MS-1 MK II is a true performance synthesizer.
