Inspired by the iconic Minimoog Model D that shaped electronic music in the 70s, this semi-modular desktop module delivers that same thick, aggressive analog tone in a compact, affordable package perfect for modern setups.
Its three VCOs offer five waveforms each—sawtooth, square, wide pulse, narrow pulse, and triangle—for rich layering and detuned beats, feeding into a classic 24dB ladder filter with resonance that self-oscillates for searing leads or percussive hits in low-pass or high-pass modes. A snappy ADS envelope drives the VCA, while the LFO with triangle and square waves, plus white/pink noise generator and overdrive circuit, add movement and grit; modulation mix lets you blend sources like Osc 3, filter envelope, noise, or external CV seamlessly. Hands-on control comes via 49 knobs, switches, and sliders on the ergonomic panel, with 13 patch points for semi-modular patching, CV/Gate ins for pitch, filter, amp, and more, plus USB/DIN MIDI, audio I/O, and headphone out. Slide it into a Eurorack case (70HP wide) or use standalone in its lectern-style enclosure—dimensions are 12.6 x 8.9 x 3.4 inches, weighing just 4.85 lbs for easy portability. Glide and polychain up to 16 units for polyphonic mayhem.
Players love its authentic Minimoog-like punch for bass and leads that cuts through mixes, with firm, responsive build quality standing out in Behringer's clone lineup; some note the envelope times are a touch shorter than vintage specs, but the MIDI integration and Eurorack flexibility make it a modular gateway many keep coming back to.
