Behringer BDS-3 4-channel Analog Drum Synthesizer

Step into the world of classic analog drum synthesis with the Behringer BDS-3. This powerful 4-channel drum synthesizer offers limitless percussion tones along with full Eurorack format integration. As a result, you get an authentic vintage feel combined with modern flexibility to elevate your music production.

Infinite Percussion Possibilities

The BDS-3 channels can generate a wide variety of sounds. For example, you can craft deep bass drums, sharp cymbals, ethereal bells, and dynamic thunder effects. In addition, its 4 self-oscillating diode ladder filters and white noise oscillators create authentic, raw analog tones that you can tweak endlessly. Whether you want toms or jumbo jets, this synth delivers a classic 70s drum machine vibe with total control.

Complete Control and Modulation

With 57 dedicated controls, the BDS-3 gives you hands-on access to every part of your sound. You can adjust clock, decay, bend, pitch, and noise on each of the four drum channels. Moreover, each channel includes a unique assignable decay kill feature. On top of that, the special effects channel lets you sculpt wild modulation effects that push your sound beyond ordinary limits. Whether triggered by analog input, MIDI, or USB, each sound can be finely shaped in real time.

Seamless Integration and Connectivity

Designed as a complete Eurorack solution, the BDS-3 fits right into your modular setup. As a result, adding vintage analog drums to your rig is easy. Furthermore, it features four independent analog outputs for external processing and recording. It also offers full MIDI support, including channel, velocity, and voice priority. Together, these features provide unmatched versatility and connectivity.
