Behringer MS-101 Synth Has Been Officially Released

Behringer’s depiction of the iconic Roland SH-101, the MS-101 is now officially part of their vastly expanding synthesiser product line.

The MS-101 is a monophonic analogue synthesiser based upon the 3340 VCO with 4 simultaneous waveforms, VCF, ADSR envelope, 32 step sequencer, arpeggiator and a mod grip kit for live performance. It has 32 full sized semi-weighted keys and a hard plastic case.

The oscillator waveforms are triangle, saw, square with pulse width modulation and an octave divided square wave sub oscillator. They can all be present at once mixed on the front panel. The filter can be modulated via ADSR, LFO, keyboard tracking or pitch bend wheel on the mod grip. There are 6 FM sources for creative filter modulation. You can save up to 64 sequences and there is full MIDI implementation available over USB or MIDI.
