Behringer Edge Analog Semi-Modular Percussion Synthesizer
If you’ve been searching for a companion for your Behringer CRAVE then the new EDGE provides the tools you need. It includes Dual VCOs with a huge range of sounds, a dual 8-step sequencer with pitch and velocity controls and so many more features for a powerful and flexible drum & bass machine.
Analog Goodness
Great care has been taken in designing the EDGE to achieve new possibilities. Its sound creation revives timeless analog designs and technologies. The EDGE gives you the power to create super-tight percussive sounds to dark and moody bass lines.
Live Performance Beat Maker
The EDGE boasts a pure analog signal path. It has Dual VCOs with pulse and triangle waves, oscillator sync and FM plus a white/pink noise source. Its dual 8-step sequencer with pitch and velocity controls can also provide you with a great degree of control.
If that wasn’t enough, the EDGE’s sequencer can go up to an astounding 10,000 BPM. You can turn your beats into mind-blowing waveforms that’ll surprise even the most hardcore synth wave fan out there.
Controls
The EDGE has a whole slew of modulation and controls that can help you in shaping your sound. These include a multi-mode 24 dB resonant ladder filter with a low and high-pass filter. Also, three separate decay envelopes for pitch, filter cutoff and amplitude for detailed control.
Thanks to its semi-modular design, the EDGE can perform right out of the box with its default routing. In fact, for more control, sculpt your sound with a 15×10 I/O matrix. The matrix includes inputs for Control Voltages, Decay, Trigger, Velocity, Noise Level, External Audio Sources, Tempo, Modulation and so much more.
The Numbers
Additionally, the EDGE has 44 controls to give you direct and real-time access to all important parameters, all laid out in a highly intuitive format that puts the fun back into your beat creation.
Input and output connections include MIDI In, MIDI Out/Thru, USB, OSC 1 CV, OSC 2 CV, OSC Decay, ADV/CLOCK, Trigger, Velocity, Noise Level, 1-2FM AMT, EXT AUDIO, Tempo, Play/Stop, VCF MOD, VCF Decay, VCA CV and Pitch. An external MIDI keyboard, footswitch or expression pedal can be connected to the EDGE so you can have even more control over your beats and basslines.
Lastly, if one EDGE isn’t enough for you, you can chain multiple EDGE’s for more intricate combinations.
