The Behringer EDGE Semi-Modular Percussion Synth is your gateway to fat and glitchy percussive synth sounds. You can get going instantly thanks to its preconfigured routing. Or dive deep into sound design by patching its 15x10 In/Out matrix and tweaking its 44 real-time controls.
The EDGE guarantees dynamic, exciting, yet high quality results. At the root of this is its dual VCOs, shaped by a 24dB resonant ladder filter. And you can easily add more timbral interest by dialing in a noise source that can also be used to modulate the filter.
The heart of EDGE is its dual 8 voice step sequencer. This produces razor sharp synth patterns with little effort and can be ramped up to 10,000 BPM for a monstrously mangled sonic result. With precision three envelope amplitude control too, you'll find that the sequencing possibilities offered by this small synth are immense.
Analog Semi-Modular Percussion Synthesizer
This Analog semi-modular percussion synthesizer provides insanely fat music creation with a pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO and VCF designs. It features dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM for a huge range of sounds. The white/pink noise source and external input offer unlimited additional timbres. The multi-mode 24 dB resonant ladder filter includes low and high-pass options, plus cutoff modulation by noise. Three separate decay envelopes for pitch, filter cutoff, and amplitude allow for detailed control over the sound.
Innovative Sequencing and Control Features
A dual 8-step sequencer with pitch and velocity controls inspires grooves and rhythms while the sequencer speed can reach up to 10,000 BPM for audio range waveform generation. The time division control features 8 different rates, and multiple clocking sources such as MIDI/USB enable synchronization with other equipment. Additionally, comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and voice priority selection ensures seamless integration with your setup.
Semi-Modular Design and Vast Patching Options
The semi-modular design requires no patching for immediate performance, thanks to its default routings. However, the 15 x 10 I/O matrix allows for incredibly vast and flexible patching options. With 44 controls, you have direct and real-time access to all important parameters, giving you complete creative freedom in shaping your sound. This powerful and versatile synthesizer is perfect for those seeking a unique and inspiring instrument for their music production needs.
