Analog Synthesizer with Live Performance Kit (Gray)

With 32 full-sized keys and a pure analog signal path, the Behringer MS-1 MK II-RD is a faithful recreation of the classic Roland SH-101. This MK II model features improved VCF and VCA designs, dual portamento, and Sync In functions, making it well suited for creating a range of sounds from superfat bass and lead tones to mindbending effects.

The included performance kit, which consists of an attachable handgrip and guitar strap, allows the instrument to be strapped on like a guitar for live performance. Additionally, the MS-1 MK II-RD is great for studio use with standard MIDI (In/Out/Thru), USB MIDI, and extensive 1/4″ and 3.5mm inputs and outputs, which allow for the connection to additional external gear such as other keyboards and modular synthesizers.

Versatile Oscillator
MS-1 MK II-RD’s authentic 3340 voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) provides an incredible range of four 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.
Versatile VCF
The very heart of MS-1 MK II-RD’s sound is its highly flexible Voltage Control Filter (VCF), which includes faders for Cutoff Frequency, Resonance, Envelope and Modulation depth, and Keyboard follow, to dial in the perfect sound. MS-1 MK II-RD’s VCF can be modulated via the ADSR, keyboard tracking, and bender controller. The frequency-modulation (FM) amount knob sets the depth, while the FM source selector lets you further modify the sound.
Envelope
MS-1 MK II-RD’s envelope generator features four ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release) faders that help you craft incredible sounds, and utilizes a 3-position switch for Gate, Gate + Trigger, and LFO. When applied to the VCA, the ADSR envelope is used to control the level of the note being played over time. When applied to the VCF, the ADSR envelope is used to control the cutoff frequency of the filter for each note played over time.
Onboard Sequencer and Arpeggiator
MS-1 MK II-RD’s sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps of notes and rests and save them as a pattern. You can record, save, and recall up to 64 patterns, all of which can be stored in the eight banks, each holding up to eight patterns. Your sequences can be played either in Keyboard mode, where you create and store the pattern, or Step mode, which allows you to interact while composing a pattern.
Own the Stage
When you’re ready to strut your stuff and get a little centerstage time, the MS-1 MK II-RD has that covered too. Just attach the included guitar strap and handgrip (with the pitchbend wheel and a pitch-modulation trigger), and take your performance to the next level.
Modulate to the Max
The noise generator can also be used as modulation source to create distortion-like effects, which will send your solo soaring into the stratosphere. Glide (portamento) lets you sweep seamlessly over time from one note to the next, creating smooth-as-silk transitions that few other instruments can emulate. MS-1 MK II-RD’s bender is assignable to the VCO, VCF, and pitch-mod wheel on the attachable handgrip. You can even modulate the pulse wave via the LFO, envelope, or manually.
