Perfect for musicians producers and enthusiasts keen on diving into the realms of modular synthesis without the complexity of full patching this Eurorack-compatible instrument combines the thick rich tones of dual VCOs with the smooth filtering of a classic 24 dB ladder filter. Its semi-modular architecture requires no patching to get started and offers an intuitive and accessible pathway into the world of analog synthesis. The inclusion of an advanced step sequencer and arpeggiator alongside 48 patch points for comprehensive modular integration ensures both immediate gratification and deep exploration. With 37 hands-on controls the Model 15 is extremely interactive and performable making it a versatile tool in any sound designers arsenal. A bridge between classic and contemporary The Behringer Model 15 revives the spirit of a legendary East-Coast modular synthesizer from the 70s offering a seamless blend of classic analog warmth and modern functionality. By authentically recreating the circuits that made the original a staple in music production this semi-modular synthesizer delivers a thick sound enabling musicians to explore a vast sonic spectrum. From deep basses to screaming leads the dual VCOs and iconic ladder filter lay the foundation for musical expression that transcends genres making it an essential tool for anyone looking to make a statement through sound. Intuitive design infinite possibilities This synthesizers semi-modular design ensures that its as inviting to newcomers as it is to seasoned synth enthusiasts. Requiring no patching to begin crafting sounds it offers an immediate and rewarding playing experience. Yet with 48 patch points it also provides ample room for exploration and integration into larger modular setups. This balance of accessibility and depth makes the Model 15 a versatile instrument that grows with you offering endless avenues for sonic experimentation. Dynamic sequencing and modulation At the heart of the Behringer Model 15 is an advanced step sequencer and arpeggiator designed to breathe life into your music. With three separate 256-step memory slots key transpose and multiple playback modes these features allow for the creation of complex rhythms and melodies with ease. The fully analog LFO featuring four waveforms and dedicated controls further enhances this dynamism enabling deep modulation of pitch filter and pulse width. Whether crafting evolving soundscapes or driving bass lines these tools empower you to deliver performances and compositions that resonate with listeners. A studio cornerstone and live powerhouse With its Eurorack compatibility the Model 15 can be integrated into standard Eurorack cases it serves as both a cornerstone in the studio and a powerhouse for live performance. The 16-voice Poly Chain feature allows for the combination of multiple units for up to 16 voice polyphony expanding the creative potential exponentially. Coupled with comprehensive MIDI implementation the Model 15 ensures seamless integration with contemporary production environments.
