Behringer MS-101-RD Analog Synthesizer

The SH-101 is Back and Better Than Ever

Fans of the classic SH-101 analog synthesizer, rejoice — the Behringer MS-101 analog synthesizer builds on that acclaimed platform and even offers some much-appreciated advancements. Like the rugged metal case, which feels infinitely more stable and durable than the original's plastic housing. And the addition of frequency modulation for the resonant filter, with six FM sources that open up new possibilities for sound design. Top it off with a 32-step sequencer, an arpeggiator, an external audio input, and 57 sliders and switches for hands-on control, and it's clear the Behringer MS-101 analog synth is much more than a repeat of a classic.

4 simultaneous oscillators, filter FM, and much more

The analog architecture of the Behringer MS-101 is equipped with four oscillator waveforms, and they can all be active simultaneously for seriously complex timbres. Waveforms include sawtooth, triangle, square (with PWM), and an octave-divided square sub oscillator. And the MS-101 features the "Nova Mod" that many players made to their SH-101 synths, adding VCF frequency modulation with six available FM sources. Between the multiple oscillators and the VCF FM, the MS-101 goes far beyond the sonic capabilities of the original.
