The Roland SH-5 Analog Synthesizer, released in 1975, marked a significant advancement in electronic music technology. Its versatile sound-shaping capabilities, including multiple oscillators and filters, provided musicians with a new level of control over their sound design capabilities.
Now, The Behringer MS-5 Analog Synthesizer offers vintage-style sound design with a few modern features, reproducing the classic Roland “SH-5” circuitry. Featuring 37 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity functionality, it provides a responsive playing experience. With two VCOs offering four waveshapes, variable pulse widths, and classic multi-mode 24 dB diode filters with resonance, musicians can explore a diverse range of sounds. Additional features include a band-pass filter, ring modulator with LFO control, and external input for sonic experimentation. The synth also includes a versatile signal mixer and soft/hard synchronization for enhanced creativity in rhythm and composition. The MS-5 provides musicians and producers with authentic analog sound and flexible performance options for diverse musical expressions.
