Behringer MS-1-BK
The Behringer MS-1-BK is a sleek, black re-imagining of an iconic 1980s analog monosynth. Providing all the sound and feel of the original but expanding with modern I/O and modulation considerations, the Behringer MS-1 is a perfect addition to any current studio or performance setup.
The MS-1 uses the same VCO and filter designs as its inspiration, and maintains the same style of sequencing, making it possible to easily recreate the sounds and sequences of the original. It adds extensive MIDI and CV/Gate I/O options for integration into modern modular and DAW-based setups, and provides an arpeggiator for extended melodic control.
Like the original, it also includes a simultaneously absurd and awesome guitar strap and mod grip, making it one of the strangest yet great-sounding keytar options around. We expect most people will want to use it in normal keyboard orientation, which is totally fine—but if you ever need to break out the prog-rock cape and shred out a sick synth lead solo, the MS-1 is there for you.
The MS-1 is a perfect choice for any musician who wants the sound of a 101 but doesn't want to keep refreshing eBay day in and day out—it delivers the same workflow, all the same sounds, and more.

The Behringer RD-8 provides the sound and workflow of one of the most iconic drum machines of all time—with additional features and a pricetag that makes it perfect for modern workflows. It updates this classic machine with an analog filter, wave designer, and advanced sequencer with performable beat repeat functions and more. In this video we also experiment processing the RD-8's kick drum direct output through the Boss Waza Craft Metal Zone MT-2W, adding a bit of edge and forcefulness to its already thunderous low end.
The MS-1 is a modern interpretation of yet another classic analog instrument: a monophonic synthesizer with integrated sequencer and a huge, rubbery sound. Here, we process the MS-1 through a Boss DM-2W Waza Craft Delay pedal for some extra space.
