Behringer SYSTEM 55 Complete Modular Synthesizer with 25 Modules
The Behringer SYSTEM 55 brings you a pre-assembled modular synthesizer with 38x vintage-sounding modules from the ’70s. The SYSTEM 55 is an amazing musical tool for those who want the ultimate modular synthesizer. It is fully capable of scoring that next cyberpunk or sci-fi movie from start to finish. This neat package will give you all the amazing modular synths so you can create amazing music right out of the box. Furthermore, you don’t even have to worry about power as the included EURORACK GO cases come with their own PSUs (Power Supply Unit).
Whether you’re just getting into modular synths or looking to complete your collection, the SYSTEM 55 modular synthesizer from Behringer is a great tool to have when creating amazing music.
Intricate Patches and Hours of Experimentation
This entire setup comes equipped with a 914 FIXED FILTER BANK. It features 12x active bandpass filters ranging from 125 Hz to 5.6 kHz. It also features additional Low Pass and High Pass filters. The 923 FILTER MODULE with separate Low and High Pass filters; each with its own dedicated frequency cutoff controls and jacks for both pink and white noise. But that’s only the beginning. The SYSTEM 55 comes with so many more modules, you’re sure to have hours of fun creating beats that you can just lose yourself in.
The SYSTEM 55 features five 902 VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIERS with three summed CV inputs and dual audio inputs and outputs. Each module also comes with a rocker switch that allows you to toggle between linear and logarithmic response modes while you can manually set the control voltage with the Fixed Control Voltage knob. The SYSTEM 55 also comes with four 911 ENVELOPE GENERATORS allowing you to create a deeply contoured signal with each of their 4 independent controls for Attack (T1), Decay (T2), Release (T3) and Sustain times from 2 ms up to 10 seconds. Create snappy and percussive sounds or long evolving drones. It’s also perfect for funky grooves or a brooding soundtrack to your latest techno-thriller.
Step sequencer
A step sequencer has always been at the heart of every synthesizer setup, so Behringer of course had to include one. The 960 SEQUENTIAL CONTROLLER is an 8-step sequencer with 3 rows of CV controls for adjusting the pitch of a signal at that stage. An additional 9th step can also be used to stop the sequence. More variations can be achieved by switching any of the desired Stage Mode Switches to Normal, Skip or Stop. You can even manually trigger each stage by pressing the respective Set button.
The included 962 SEQUENTIAL SWITCH module will transform the 960 from an 8-step sequencer to a 24-step giant capable of more intricate sequences and beats.
Adding even more flexibility to the SYSTEM 55; the 961 INTERFACE module converts V-trig to S-trig and vice versa and can even convert any audio source you plug into a V-trig to drive other modules in your setup. The 903A RANDOM SIGNAL GENERATOR provides 2x white and pink noise sources so you can patch to other modules in SYSTEM 55.
The SYSTEM 55 also comes with a 992 CONTROL VOLTAGES MODULE. This allows you to mix and switch control voltages, 904B HIGH PASS FILTER and 904A VOLTAGE CONTROLLED LOW PASS FILTER and a CM1A MIDI-to-CV converter. As a result, you can control the SYSTEM 55 with a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW, to truly round out this rig. There are also a few blank panels in case so you can expand the SYSTEM 55 with even more modules.
