Grab the detachable left-hand expression controller, strap on the MS-1 MKII, and step out from behind the keyboard rack and into the spotlight--like Devo, The Prodigy, and The Chemical Brothers! Despite the fun factor and showmanship potential, it's far more than a “Key-tar” or a simple 80s-inspired novelty. The Behringer MS-1 RD is a formidable, 32-key vintage-style analog mono-synth--upgraded with digital connectivity, pro features, and amazingly affordable. Like its vintage counterpart, the MS-1 MK II can deliver a fantastic range of classic analog tone-shaping flexibility. Use your ears and imagination to operate the 57 intuitively laid-out dials and sliders to control the completely analog pathway. Even with limited or no experience using old-school analog controls, you’ll quickly revisit (or create) thick and screaming lead sounds, punchy bass lines, and otherworldly effects. Vintage-style analog sound generation starts with Behringer’s re-created 3340 ‘Curtis-style’ chip-driven oscillator. This VCO can generate up to 4 simultaneously mixable waveforms over a 4-octave range, giving your creativity plenty of room to flow. At the heart of things, the MS-1 MKII’s incredibly flexible VCF features fader-style controls for Frequency, Resonance, Envelope, Modulation, and Keyboard-follow sliders for quickly zeroing in and tweaking your sound. The Filter can be modulated with ADSR, LFO, keyboard tracking, and a bender controller, multiplying sonic possibilities and ease of use
