In recent years, Behringer has gained particular attention in the synthesizer market with the introduction of various analog, digital, and hybrid synthesizers. Some popular types of synth gear from Behringer include:
- Analog Synthesizers: Behringer has released several analog synthesizers inspired by classic designs from the 1970s and 1980s. These synths often offer authentic analog circuitry, vintage-style controls, and modern features at a fraction of the cost of their vintage counterparts. Popular models include:
- Behringer Model D: A faithful recreation of the iconic Minimoog Model D monophonic analog synthesizer, featuring three oscillators, a ladder filter, and extensive modulation options.
- Behringer Neutron: A semi-modular analog synthesizer with dual oscillators, a flexible patchbay, and built-in effects, offering extensive sonic possibilities and modulation capabilities.
- Behringer Pro-1: A clone of the Sequential Circuits Pro-One monophonic analog synthesizer, featuring two VCOs, a classic 4-pole low-pass filter, and a sequencer/arpeggiator.
- Digital Synthesizers: In addition to analog offerings, Behringer has ventured into the realm of digital synthesis with instruments that offer a wide range of sounds and features. These synths often combine digital signal processing with analog-style controls for intuitive operation. Popular models include:
- Behringer DeepMind 12: A polyphonic analog/digital hybrid synthesizer with 12 voices, extensive modulation capabilities, built-in effects, and a user-friendly interface.
- Behringer DeepMind 6: A more compact version of the DeepMind 12 with 6 voices of polyphony, offering similar features and sound quality in a smaller form factor.
- Behringer TD-3: A tribute to the iconic Roland TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer, featuring an authentic analog signal path, built-in sequencer, and distinctive acid bass sound.
- Hybrid Synthesizers: Behringer has also released synthesizers that combine analog and digital technologies to offer a unique blend of classic and modern sounds. These instruments often provide a versatile palette of sonic possibilities suitable for various musical genres. Popular models include:
- Behringer Odyssey: A faithful recreation of the classic ARP Odyssey duophonic analog synthesizer, featuring two VCOs, a resonant low-pass filter, and a distinctive dual-voice design with cross modulation capabilities.
- Behringer Poly D: A polyphonic analog synthesizer inspired by the iconic Minimoog Model D, offering four voices of polyphony, a 37-note keyboard, and extensive sound shaping options.
- Behringer MS-1: A faithful recreation of the classic Roland SH-101 monophonic analog synthesizer, featuring a single oscillator, sub-oscillator, resonant low-pass filter, and built-in sequencer/arpeggiator. The MS-1 offers the same iconic sound and workflow as the original SH-101 in a modern, affordable package.
Overall, Behringer synthesizers have gained popularity among musicians, producers, and enthusiasts for their combination of affordability, sound quality, and feature set. Whether you’re looking for vintage-inspired analog tones, modern digital sounds, or a hybrid of both, Behringer offers a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets.

Synthesizer
A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.
Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
