Description
Explore the Behringer Neutron Analogue Synthesizer from Behringer. Below you will find product details, specifications and images to help you decide whether it is right for your setup.
From their recently released Deepmind and Model D synths, it's apparent that Behringer are taking their recent foray into the synth world very seriously. The Neutron is their latest statement, a powerful paraphonic analogue, semi-modular synth that is practically unmatched at its affordable price-point.
Key Features

Analogue Circuitry
Despite its super-affordable price, the Neutron is a synth that has all of the essential functionality to give its more expensive counterparts a serious run for their money. With a fully-analogue circuit, inspired by the iconic VCO design, the Behringer Neutron is powered by dual 3340 analogue oscillators, offering a huge sonic range with tonnes of flexibility.
Paraphonic Mode
Allowing you to blend familiar oscillator waveforms together to attain a variety of classic synth sounds, as well as create unique tailor-made tones, with the Neutron's paraphonic mode you can control these oscillators individually for live use. This means that you can setup one sound and switch to the other oscillator for when two patches are needed within a particular song or setlist.
Tone-Shaping Options
With further tone-shaping options, including a pulse width control for each oscillator, versatility is the name of the game when it comes to the Behringer Neutron. A pair of analogue ADSR generators allow you to modulate your sound for further refinement, along with the thoughtfully-added multi-stage analogue delay section, which lets you achieve ambient, out-there soundscapes.
Analogue overdrive? The Neutron has that too! Giving your synth tones that edgey break-up with some characterful warmth thrown in, you can use the overdrive to create some truly dirty pumping synth waves.
The 32/24 out jack matrix hearkens back to vintage, old-school style synths, giving you a huge amount of patching options. Use the Neutron to communicate with other equipment in your rig, and use its tactile interface to change parameters completely on-the-fly!
