Behringer BMX Hybrid Sampling Drum Machine
The Behringer BMX drum machine brings classic sample-based character into a flexible hardware workflow. Its hybrid engine combines variable sample rate sampling with analog filtering. Meanwhile, hands-on pads, sequencing and per-voice control make it ready for building patterns, shaping sounds and performing in the studio or live.
Shape a distinctive sampling sound
Firstly, eight DACs and selectable 8- or 12-bit sampling resolution give samples a punchy, nostalgic tone. The BMX also includes classic samples from the original machine and a line input for recording your own samples. Therefore, familiar sounds and fresh source material can sit side by side.
Build and perform evolving rhythms
Moreover, the 64-step sequencer supports poly-meter, step-repeat, note-repeat and real-time triggering for everything from straightforward grooves to changing rhythmic patterns. Track-mute and track-solo controls add hands-on performance options, while Pattern and Song modes organise ideas into expanded compositions and live sets.
Put expressive control at your fingertips
Twenty-four velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive pads make rhythm programming and real-time playing feel responsive. Individual level and pan controls let you balance the eight independent voices, while per-voice assignment to the FX bus opens access to Wave Designer shaping and the dual-mode analog filter.
Connect it to your wider setup
USB and comprehensive 5-Pin MIDI implementation cover synchronisation and control, with internal or external clocking for adaptable timing workflows. Eight independent analog outputs allow each voice to be recorded or processed separately, and 3x trigger outputs extend the BMX to modular synth integration and more.
