Behringer K-2 Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Description

The Behringer K-2 Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer comes ready to rock, thanks to its default signal routing that doesnt require lifting a single patch cable to instantly create amazing sounds. The semi-modular architecture lets you easily tap into the inspired sounds of 1980s and 90s progressive rock, wave, EDM and synth-pop music synthesizer tracks that made rock and roll history or to design incredibly fat and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right!Versatile VCFThe very heart of K-2s sound is its versatile 24 dB/octave filter, which lets you freely experiment with the High and Low-Pass Cutoff Frequencies and their respective peak (resonance) settings to dial in the perfect sound. The high-pass filter sets the level of signals below the cutoff frequency, effectively reducing the fundamental and lower-order harmonics levels. The low-pass filter controls the level of signals above the cutoff, which reduces higher-order harmonic content. K-2s VCF Peak controls provide emphasis to the signals at the crossover frequency.Vintage OscillatorsK-2s authentic Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) provides an incredible range of 4 variable oscillator shapes with variable pulse widths and ring modulation for the ultimate in sound creation. VCO 1 waveform choices include triangle, reverse-sawtooth, noise and pulse, where the pulse width can be adjusted from square wave to narrow across a 4-octave range (32′, 16′, 8′, or 4′). VCO 2s waveform can be selected from reverse-sawtooth, square, narrow pulse and ring, where both oscillators are operating. VCO 2s pitch can also be varied independently across a 4-octave range (16′, 8′, 4′ and 2′). The VCO Mixer allows you to adjust the levels of VCO 1 and VCO 2 to create an overall mix and a wide range of amazing effects.The Envelope, Please …Make that envelopes! K-2s Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO), the Modulation Generator, features a selectable Waveform (reverse sawtooth, triangle, sawtooth) with a sweepable frequency range from 0.1 to 22 Hz and 2 separate Envelope generators to help you craft incredible sounds! Envelope Generator 1 affects the frequency modulation via controls for Delay, Attack and Release Time, while generator 2 adjusts the cutoff frequency modulation, as well as amplitude modulation of the Voltage Control Amplifier (VCA). Dials for this generator include Hold, Decay, Attack, Sustain, and Release for unparalleled envelope-shaping control.16-Note Poly Chain ReadyWhile it is a monophonic instrument (one note at a time), K-2s 16-note Poly Chain function lets you combine multiple synthesizers for up to 16-voice polyphony plus provides vastly improved reliability and stability over its 1970s and ’80s predecessors.Eurorack ReadyDesigned to handle the rigors of life on the road or in the studio, your K-2 can easily be transferred into a standard Eurorack case for the perfect integration into your existing system.Controls & ConnectivityFor those who want the numbers, K-2 has 36 controls, all laid out in a highly-intuitive format that puts the joy back into your music creation. And you can expand K-2s tone-sculpting capabilities beyond your wildest dreams by utilizing the multi-I/O patchbay to connect external devices at virtually any point in the signal path!Unleash Your ImaginationWhen it comes to not just pushing envelopes but creating them, K-2 gives your imagination its voice and its so very affordable. When modern performance calls for classic analog sound it calls for the Behringer K-2.
