Headlining, Historic Monophonic Circuitry and Sonics
In accordance with Behringer’s ever-growing assemblage of vintage-inspired synths, the MS-5 analog synthesizer revives and reshapes one of the industry’s most coveted Japanese-built synthesizers for the modern creative landscape. Boasting all-analog circuitry, two powerful onboard oscillators, and a 37-key semi-weighted keybed, the MS-5 supplies the sonic mobility and physical appeal of its predecessor, complete with a line of contemporary infusions, including USB connectivity and external input connectivity for expansive creative possibilities. Both VCOs supply selectable triangle, ramp, square, and pulse waveforms — similar to its dual LFOs with adjustable waveshapes — aligning the MS-5 with a swath of potential sound foundations. Farther down the signal path, AR/ADSR envelopes and 4-pole/1-pole VCF control ensure precise sound sculpting — complete with the original unit’s recognizable 5-slider mixing section for dialing in a preferred output. Finally, the MS-5’s built-in ring modulation engine and noise generation service adjustable texture to any creation for unique dynamic integrations into your signal. Because the MS-5 is equipped with full MIDI in/out/thru connectivity, external audio input jacks, and external controller inputs, Sweetwater synthesists revel in how easy it is to integrate into their pre-existing instrument rigs — not to mention how it enhances their sonic palettes.
