All analog. Semi-modular design. The Behringer Neutron synthesizer packs absolutely huge potential. A paraphonic hardware synthesizer with a pure analog signal path and using legendary VCOs to deliver classic sounds. The semi-modular design gives default routings requiring no patching for quick and easy performances. The Neutron Synth also boasts oscillator waveform control allowing you to blend between 5 shapes as well as individual pulse width/tone modulation providing versatile sound design options. It also features a wide range of patch points for added flexibility as well as an integrated noise generator and overdrive circuit. Semi-modular fully analog synthesizer The Behringer Neutron is a paraphonic semi-modular synth featuring a fully analog circuit. Recreating the classic VCO design for optimal sound performance. The semi-modular architecture features an array of connections including patch points and MIDI I/O as well as default routings that require no patching. At the core of the synth are the dual 3340 analog oscillators delivering a wide sonic range for unprecedented sound design capabilities. You can blend oscillator waveforms seamlessly blending between tone modulation pulse sawtooth triangle and sine waves. This allows you to achieve new waveform combinations for a truly unique sound. Paraphonic mode When used in Paraphonic mode the Behringer Neutron allows both oscillators to be controlled independently. This versatile feature allows for deeper control of your synth ideal for live performances for making dynamic changes on the fly. It also boasts individual pulse width/tone modulation control allowing you to fine-tune your sound. The synth includes a self-oscillating multi-mode VCF with dual output allowing you to sculpt your sound with the powerful filters. Two analog ADSR generators provide modulation of the VCF and VCA for further modulation options allowing you to change the style and shape of your sound. This allows you to achieve everything from percussive sounds to rich melodic tones. Analog delay and overdrive circuit The Neutron comes complete with a multiple stage analog delay basing its design on the classic Bucket Brigade Delay technology. The overdrive circuit delivers analog warmth and edge to your sounds bringing out the brash side of your tones. Also included is a noise generator designed to dramatically change the waveform generation for sound experimentation purposes. The flexible LFO features five waveforms shapes in total as well as MIDI clock sync and key sync. Jack matrix In total the Neutron Synthesizer features 36 controls and 7 buttons giving you direct access to all the parameters in real-time. This control section features notched rotary controls allowing you to change your settings with ease. The ergonomic layout is set in section with clearly annotated rotary controls. The 32/24 out jack matrix provides a wide range of patching options keeping true to vintage-style synthesis. This allows you to get hands-on with your parameters as well as communicating with other equipment. It also features a patchable audio-rate sample and hold with glide for added flexibility.
