Behringer has announced its SPICE analog semi-modular polyrhythmic synth featuring two oscillators, four sub-oscillators, multi-mode filter and dual 4-step sequencer.
Features
- Analog semi-modular polyrhythmic and subharmonic synthesizer for insanely fat music creation
- Pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs
- Dual VCOs with square and sawtoooth waves with 4 sub oscillators for a huge range of sounds
- Stack oscillators create 6 sound sources for 6-note pseudo-polyphony
- Multi-mode 24 dB resonant ladder filter with Cutoff, Resonance and envelope controls
- Dual 4-step analog sequencer and polythythm generator for complex and inspiring grooves and rhythms
- Variable quantizers allow for easy interval setting with either temperament or intonation
- VCA section with Attack, Decay and Volume controls
- VCF envelope generator with Attack, Decay and Envelope controls
- Manual and clock-syncable tempo controls
- Semi-modular design with default routings requires no patching for immediate performance
- 16 x 16 I/O matrix for incredibly vast and flexible patching options
- 57 controls give you direct and real-time access to all important parameters
- Multiple clocking sources including MIDI/USB for synchronization with other equipment
- Comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and Voice Priority selection
