General
The Behringer K-2 is a monophonic analogue synthesizer and is the ultimate temptation for sound-tweakers. Most said tweakers might wonder where they've seen this build and list of specs before since this model is a faithful recreation of the legend that was (and is) the Korg MS-20, in a Eurorack format. This synth may look like a fairly basic synthesizer, but the unexpected power here lies in the patch section on the right. This is where the magic happens since here, you can shift the routing of the synth and create an entirely new structure. While this process requires more than a few nights of experimenting and an understanding of synth-jargon, once you get the hang of it, there's pretty much no limit to the amount of sounds you can make.
External Source for the Behringer K-2
By connecting an external sound-source to the K-2, you can add things like vocals or a second synthesizer to the synthesis. You could even use a poly-chain of up to sixteen instances, effectively building a polyphony of sixteen. In short, sound designers who can't find or simply cannot afford the price of an original MS-20, should get their hands on the K-2.

Toffe service van Bax-Music en snel geleverd. De Behringer K-2 klinkt als 'The real thing'. Ik heb vroeger nog een Kirg MS-20 gehad en ik hoor echt het karakter van de Korg. Behringer weet waarmee ze bezig zijn. Aanrader.

Klinkt te gek! Doet niet onder voor de originele Korg. Laat Behringer maar lekker doorgaan met klonen :-)
Daarnaast geleverd conform de uitstekende Bax-Shop voorwaarden!

Une jolie petite machine bien finie. Avec le passage en mode "module" on perd un peu du tableau de bord rustique 70s genre "4L" du panneau vertical de l'original, mais on gagne en compacité sans que cela gène la manipulation ; les mini-jacks en particulier sont plus pratiques que les gros pour la baie de patch. Seul reproche critique la prise MIDI en façade trop près du réglage de filtre.
Il ne faut pas en attendre le confort moderne (mémoires, presets, séquenceur) mais l'auto-oscillation du filtre est un régal, et la baie de patch si elle n'est pas très intuitive permet de dépasser les possibilités sonores déjà importantes du patch original, on a le plaisir d'expérimenter dans les conditions de l'époque.
Une réédition réussie d'un modèle peut-être pas tout à fait aussi mythique que le VCS3 ou l'Odyssey, mais qui était un petit semi-modulaire d'initiation sympathique.

c'est un synthétiseur analogique semi-modulaire, générateur de sons monophonique, clone du célèbre Korg MS-20. Le K-2 vous donnera toutes les sensations que vous rêviez depuis longtemps. Le seul regret que je pourrai souligner, c'est l'impossibilité d'enregistrer en midi les différents mouvements rotatifs des paramétriques.
