Behringer tabletop synths are a great, modern way to capture the old analog sound, so in this guide, we will show you how to set it up, connect it, and use it for the first time. This guide is an overview of all Behringer synths, so check out your synth model\u2019s Owner\u2019s Manual for more information. Follow the sections below to get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before you start using your Behringer synth, the first thing you must do is register the device with Behringer. Upon registration, you\u2019ll receive a free 3-year extended warranty. The registration is only valid for the first 90 days after purchase, so make sure to register it as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Warming Up and Calibration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Some Behringer synths have analog circuits, which can be temperature sensitive. To get the best performance out of your Behringer synth, turn it on, then wait approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the internal circuitry to warm up. If the synth has been in a colder environment, you should wait about 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition,<\/a> we recommend calibrating the unit Analog circuitry can \u2018drift\u2019 depending on the temperature, time, and age of your Behringer synth. So, to keep the synth performing flawlessly, it\u2019s critical to check and perform calibration periodically. The process may differ as some may have a menu button, whereas others may require you to open the device, so check out your synth model\u2019s Owner\u2019s Manual to learn more about the calibration procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Setup and Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Your <\/a>Behringer synth has a few different connections:<\/a> 5-pin MIDI, patch (for CV, also known as control voltage, and sync, also referred to as synchronization), and standard headphone and output jacks. Some also have an additional jack that is used for footswitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Connection Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Almost all Behringer synths have three connections in common. USB, Patch, and MIDI. Connection types may differ, so be sure to refer to your Owner\u2019s Manual for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MIDI<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The 5-pin MIDI connections on your Behringer synth are used to connect to other MIDI devices like synths and keyboards. The Behringer synths often share three MIDI connections: MIDI IN, MIDI THRU, and MIDI OUT. Some Behringer synths will have a \u201ccombo\u201d MIDI THRU\/MIDI OUT jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
