Behringer, founded by Uli Behringer in Germany, is famous for making affordable versions of classic instruments. They’re known for synth and drum machine clones like the RD-8 (808 style) and TD-3 (303 style), as well as the DeepMind synths. By lowering prices, Behringer have democratised access to legendary sounds once out of reach. They also produce mixers, interfaces and studio essentials used worldwide. Whatever your opinion, Behringer gear has enabled countless producers to get started without breaking the bank.

Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.
Tags
Products using digital sound generation, processing or control. Digital instruments can offer precise recall, extensive polyphony, sampling and complex synthesis methods, often combining a wide tonal range with compact hardware and flexible modulation.
Products designed for the Eurorack modular synthesiser format, including sound sources, filters, modulation, sequencing, effects and utilities. Check module width and power requirements against the available space and capacity of your case.
Instruments combining analogue and digital sound generation, control or processing. A hybrid design may pair digital oscillators or control with analogue filters and signal paths, aiming to provide modern flexibility alongside the behaviour of analogue circuitry.
Synthesisers with a pre-wired signal path that work immediately but can also be repatched for modular-style sound design. Patch points allow the normal routing to be changed, extended or connected to compatible modular and CV-equipped instruments.
Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
