MS-1 MK II-GY Analog Synthesizers Behringer

Versatile VCF

The very heart of MS-1 MK II-GY’s sound is its highly-flexible Voltage Control Filter (VCF), which includes faders for: cutoff Frequency, Resonance, Envelope and Modulation depth, and Keyboard follow to dial in the perfect sound. MS-1 MK II-GY’s VCF can be modulated via the ADSR, keyboard tracking and Bender controller. The Frequency Modulation (FM) Amount knob sets the depth, while the FM Source selector lets you further modify the signal by choosing from: Pulse; Sawtooth; Sub-Oscillator 1 Octave Down; 2 Octaves Down; Narrow 2 Octaves Down, and Noise.

The Envelope, Please...

MS-1 MK II-GY’s Envelope generator features 4 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) faders that help you craft incredible sounds, and utilizes a 3-position switch for Gate, Gate + Trigger and LFO. When applied to the VCA, the ADSR envelope is used to control the level of the note being played over time. When applied to the VCF, the ADSR envelope is used to control the cut-off frequency of the filter for each note played over time.

Onboard Sequencer and Arpeggiator

MS-1 MK II-GY’s sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps of notes and rests and save them as a pattern. You can record, save and recall up to 64 patterns, all of which can be stored in the 8 banks, each holding up to 8 patterns. Your sequences can be played either in Keyboard mode, where you create and store the pattern, or Step mode, which allows you to interact while composing a pattern.

Own the Stage

When you’re ready to strut your stuff and get a little centerstage time, the MS-1 MK II-GY has that covered too! Just attach the included guitar strap and handgrip (with pitch bend wheel and a pitch modulation trigger) and take your performance to the next level. Why should singers and guitar players get all the limelight – carve out a little of your own!

Modulate Me to the Max!

The noise generator can also be used as modulation source to create distortion-like effects, which will send your solo soaring into the stratosphere. Glide (portamento) lets you sweep seamlessly over time from one note to the next, creating smooth-as-silk transitions that few other instruments can emulate. MS-1 MK II-GY’s Bender is also assignable to the VCO, VCF and pitch mod wheel on attachable handgrip. You can even modulate the pulse wave via the LFO, envelope or manually – for sounds ranging from mild to wild!
