Description
Behringer SPICE Analog Semi-Modular Polyrhythmic Synth
Unique Polyrhythmic Capabilities
The Behringer SPICE is an incredibly unique polyrhythmic synthesizer designed to create complex and intricate sequences that will captivate your audience. At the heart of SPICE are two VCOs, each offering square and sawtooth waveforms, along with two sub-harmonic oscillators. The integrated mixer section allows you to control levels for the main VCO and sub-oscillators, enabling you to layer sounds for a rich, pseudo-polyphonic output. With a 24 dB ladder filter, VCA, and VCF Envelope sections, SPICE provides all the tools you need for sound sculpting.
Versatile Sequencing and Connectivity
SPICE features dual 4-step sequencers clocked by four polyrhythm generators, allowing for dynamic and engaging rhythm creation. Tempo can be set manually or synced to an external clock, giving you flexibility in performance. Its semi-modular architecture eliminates the need for patching while providing the option to connect to other Eurorack synths and modules for expanded sound exploration. With a pure analog signal path and multiple clocking sources, this synthesizer enhances your music creation with endless possibilities.
