AKS Mini Compact Analog Synthesizer

Behringer AKS Mini

The AKS Mini from Behringer brings powerful analog character to a compact form factor, giving you lush, 70s-inspired synthesizer tones that fits comfortably into any sized set-up. From Pink Floyd and Prog Rock to Brian Eno, the original AKS made a name for itself as a sought-after source for inspirational tones thanks to its portable suitcase form factor and rich analog sound. That legacy is reborn in the AKS Mini, featuring authentic reproductions of the AKS VCO and VCF designs from the original units. Three oscillators with variable waveforms enable diverse tones, while the filter, LFO, and envelope allow for deep sound shaping. Like the original suitcase models, you also have a built-in keyboard controller and sequencer, though these tools have been expanded for modern workflows; the AKS Mini now supports polyphonic playing, and the sequencer features 16-step patterns with 10 slots of memory as well as knob motion recording for deeply expressive sequences. Rounding out the control capabilities is a two-axis joystick for the true AKS experience, as well as modern USB-C, Sync, and MIDI implementation for integrating the synth with other gear. Last but not least, a realistic digital spring reverb is onboard, giving you access to the classic sounds of the original unit. If you're looking for a compact source of sound effects and powerful synth tones in a compact package, the AKS Mini from Behringer is a great choice.
