General

If the Eurorack module range from Behringer has your mouth watering but you're not too bothered about building a custom configuration, then this is a solid one-shot solution: the Behringer System 55 synthesizer. No less than thirty-eight modules have been neatly and conveniently pre-configured and pre-loaded onto a tight tabletop rack, immediately kitting you out with three rows of synth-tweaking fun plus an extra row along the bottom fitted with blind panels, so it's ready to be filled with more modules of your choosing. Everything communicates via CV, so you're assured of seamless cross-brand compatibility via standard CV and MIDI, and despite the tasty vintage design, even a USB port has been fitted. While the System 55 demands a fair investment, what you get in return is a hefty monster of synthesis and an undeniably sweet chunk of studio furniture.

Wrote the following about Behringer System 55 Synthesizer

Over mijn eerste System 55 was ik zo enthousiast dat ik een tweede set ernaast heb gezet. Die wordt gebruikt om tussentijdse ideeën uit te proberen en uit te werken. De Behringer System 55 brengt je terug naar de eind jaren 60 begin jaren 70. Toen was dit een innovatie op muziek- en instrumentgebied en leidde dit tot veel exploratie wat klank, melodie en ritme betreft. Er ontstonden composities die ervoor simpelweg vrijwel ondenkbaar waren. En de klank, vergeleken bij de 4letter brede concurrent? Natuurlijk een beetje anders, maar daarom zeker niet minder indrukwekkend. Ik gebruik deze Systems graag naast mijn scala aan 4letter brede synthesizers die ik heb staan. De Systems mogen met gepaste trots tussen mijn 2 Motherships, grootmoeder en de Matriarch in staan zal ik maar zeggen. Kenners weten wat er mee bedoeld wordt. Een absolute aanrader om te leren begrijpen wat modulaire, subtractieve, analoge synthese nu werkelijk inhoudt. Je bent wel even bezig voor je uitgeëxperimenteerd bent. Have fun.

Wrote the following about Behringer System 55 Synthesizer

With this compact euro rack format copy of the famous four letter wide synthesizer builder of the sixties and seventies you can relive the past. Feel a little like Wendy (Walter) Carlos, Michael Garrison, Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Jean Michelle Jarre, Klaus Shulze etc. etc. Don’t shoot the messenger (I also own and play 14 different Moog semi modular synthesizers), but this really sounds great for its price. This Behringer System 55 is accompanied with my System 35 and an Arturia Keystep Pro. No DAW, No MIDI, No FX or effects, No PC needed. And even with some well designed patches and sequences from the Keystep Pro, No Hands needed. Travel back in time with this affordable ‘Classic’ and enjoy the challenges the ‘old’ masters had to confront while making real music instead of todays popular non recognisable ambiant nonsence sounds.
