Description
The Behringer Behringer JN-80 is a classic analog 8-voice programmable polyphonic synthesizer, meticulously recreating the legendary McSynth Face from the 1980s. Designed with authentic analog circuitry, it features discrete DCOs, 3109 VCFs and 662 VCAs, offering rich, warm tones across its eight polyphonic voices. Musicians can explore saw, square, and pulse width waveforms, enhanced by a 24 dB lowpass filter with resonance and positive/negative envelope control.
The Behringer JN-80 provides versatile unison, double, and poly modes, creating powerful leads, deep basses, and multi-voice textures. Its multi-stage BBD chorus delivers lush, lively soundscapes, while the 49 full-size keys with aftertouch and velocity sensitivity provide expressive playability. Additional features include a sub-oscillator for extra depth, a global noise generator, a sophisticated arpeggiator, and a powerful LFO controlling pitch, filter cutoff, and pulse width. The synthesizer is equipped with an LCD display for easy menu navigation, assignable preset recall switches, and 400 user program memories. Spring-loaded pitch and modulation wheels, polyphonic portamento, CV and pedal inputs, and comprehensive MIDI implementation make the Behringer JN-80 an exceptional instrument for studio and stage performance.
Key Features
Authentic Analog Sound:
Discrete DCOs, 3109 VCFs, and 662 VCAs reproduce the rich tones of the original McSynth Face with full polyphonic warmth and clarity.
Expressive Playability:
49 full-size keys feature aftertouch and velocity sensitivity, complemented by spring-loaded pitch and modulation wheels for hands-on performance control.
Versatile Modulation and Effects:
BBD chorus, LFO, arpeggiator, and sub-oscillator allow dynamic sound shaping and lush, complex textures for any musical style.
Classic Analog Design:
The Behringer JN-80 faithfully recreates the vintage McSynth Face experience, offering eight polyphonic voices with saw, square, and pulse width waveforms. Its 24 dB lowpass filter, based on discrete 3109 circuitry, provides precise resonance control and envelope shaping for authentic analog warmth. Musicians can craft everything from punchy leads to deep bass tones, using unison, double, or poly modes to expand sonic possibilities.
Advanced Performance Features:
With 49 full-size keys, aftertouch, and velocity sensitivity, the Behringer JN-80 is designed for expressive playing. Polyphonic portamento adds smooth glide effects, while assignable preset switches and 400 user memories allow rapid access to favourite sounds. The spring-loaded pitch and modulation wheels provide intuitive real-time control, ideal for live performances and studio work.
Comprehensive Modulation and Connectivity:
The Behringer JN-80 is equipped with a sophisticated multi-stage BBD chorus, a powerful LFO, a global noise generator, and an arpeggiator with multiple modes. CV and pedal inputs expand creative control, and full MIDI implementation ensures integration with modern setups, including parameter control and bulk memory functions.
