About Behringer MS-5
Overwhelm the stage with profound bass tones and captivate your audience with the Behringer MS-5, a pure analog synthesizer inspired by the legendary "SH-5". This versatile and subtle synthesizer can seamlessly integrate into any musical setup, offering a rich and nuanced sound palette.
The Behringer MS-5 is a meticulous recreation of the iconic "SH-5" circuit, boasting 37 semi-weighted keys with velocity functionality. This feature allows musicians to control the intensity of each note by varying the pressure applied to the keys. Combined with a purely analog signal path, this synthesizer is capable of producing dynamic riffs, making it an ideal choice for creating soundscapes for your next sci-fi masterpiece.
The MS-5 is equipped with dual VCOs and LFOs, each offering four switchable waveforms. This synthesizer also provides an array of tone-shaping options, including modulations pulse width, pitch, rate, and delay time, enabling you to craft a unique sonic identity.
One of the standout features of the original "SH-5" was its ring modulator, and the MS-5 carries on this tradition. The ring modulator allows you to generate distinctive metallic and bell-like tones, adding a unique character to your compositions. The LFO-controlled ring modulator can be applied to VCOs 1 and 2 or any external source, offering even more versatility.
For those who love to sculpt their sound, the MS-5 offers a comprehensive signal mixer with five sliders to adjust noise, VCOs 1 and 2, Ring Modulation, and even external signals. For more complex sound design, the additional band pass filter can be used to adjust frequency, resonance, and level throughout a sequence, adding an extra layer of magic to your music.
The Behringer MS-5 is a powerful addition to your music gear collection, offering a unique sound that opens up a world of creative possibilities. This synthesizer truly delivers on its promise, providing an exceptional value for musicians and sound designers alike.
