Behringer Neutron Analogue Synthesizer

• Paraphonic synthesizer with authentic dual 3340 analog oscillators for insanely fat music creation
• Pure analog signal path based on legendary VCO design to recreate classic sound performance
• Semi-modular architecture with default routings requires no patching for immediate performance
• Oscillator waveform control blends seamlessly between 5 shapes (tone mod, pulse, sawtooth, triangle, sine)
• Individual pulse width / tone mod control provides ultimate sounds
• Paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled
• Self-oscillating, multi-mode VCF with dual output (e.g. LP+HP available on jacks)
• 2 analog ADSR generators for modulation of VCF and VCA
• Multiple stage analog delay based on legendary BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) technology
• Flexible LFO with five waveform shapes, MIDI clock sync and key sync
• Noise generator dramatically expands waveform generation
• Overdrive circuit adds rich analog warmth and edge to your sounds
• 36 controls and 7 buttons give you direct and real time access to all parameters
• Utility functions including attenuators, multiples, slew rate limiter and summers for creative patching flexibility
• 32 in / 24 out jack matrix for an incredible amount of patching options
• Patchable audio-rate sample and hold with glide for added creativity
• Powerful headphone output with dedicated level control
• External audio input for processing external sound sources
• Comprehensive USB/Midi implementation for connection to keyboard/sequencer
• Designed and engineered in the U.K.
