Behringer Grind Semi-modular Hybrid Multi-engine Synthesizer

As Behringer continues its ambitious aural odyssey of bridging the myriad synthesis styles of the past with boundless musical possibilities of the future, an electrifying contender has emerged with Grind. This semi-modular, heavy-hitting hybrid haymaker features two dozen synth engines and 24 digital oscillators that span multitudes of scorching synth styles, powerful percussion, and gnarly noise, impressing Music Bliss sound hounds with its unprecedented range. Grind earns its namesake hybrid designation by way of its all-analog, dual-waveform LFO, and 24dB/octave ladder filter, blending near-limitless digital dynamism with the hallmark character of analog excellence. Onboard arpeggiation and step-sequencing capabilities expand your compositional and rhythmic capabilities, while a comprehensive 34-point patch matrix and MIDI compatibility open the door to electrifying expressive possibilities. Toss in extensive sonic contouring via Morph, Harmonics, and Timbre parameters and everything from Virtual Analog, Additive, Karplus, and Waveshaping to FM, Noise, Drums, and DX-style engines are ready to rip. And that’s only scratching the surface of the Grind’s boundless latent potential.
