Essential Information About the Behringer Model D Synthesizer
- Monophonic analog synthesizer with 3 VCOs, 24 dB resonant Ladder filter, and 100% analog VCO-Mixer-VCF-VCA signal path.
- Semi-modular with 13 patch points and 70 HP Eurorack format for immediate integration into modular systems.
- Poly Chain up to 16 voices for thick stacks and chords via multiple units.
- Modern connectivity (MIDI In/Thru, USB-MIDI, audio inputs/outputs) and built-in overdrive circuit for more aggressive tones.
An Accessible Tribute to the 70s Legend
The Behringer Model D pays homage to the legendary portable synth of the 70s, embraced by countless keyboardists in progressive, electronic, and pop scenes. It is part of the manufacturer's "reimagined classics" range, offering the character of the original "D" style circuit within a compact, durable chassis ready for studio and stage use.
For Massive Basses, Cutting Leads, and Analog Sound Design
Ideal for curious beginners to seasoned musicians, the Model D prioritizes direct access to parameters to quickly create deep basses, singing leads, drones, and effects. Perfect for electro, techno, synthwave, ambient, pop, or film scoring, it shines in the studio, on stage, and in modular setups thanks to its Eurorack format.
Features and Innovations
Based on
subtractive synthesis, the Model D features 3 analog VCOs offering 5 waveforms, a noise generator, and an internal mixer. The
24 dB Ladder filter with resonance, offering low-pass and high-pass modes, sculpts fat and expressive tones, supported by an analog LFO with square/triangle waves for vibrato, tremolo, and sweeps. The
overdrive circuit adds grit, while the
Poly Chain function allows stacking up to 16 units for polyphonic textures. Connectivity-wise, the Model D is controlled via
MIDI In/Thru and
USB-MIDI, processes external sources through a 3.5 mm mini-jack audio input, and outputs dual-level signals on 6.35 mm jacks plus a headphone output. Its
semi-modular architecture (13 points) and
70 HP width simplify Eurorack integration. No built-in arpeggiator or sequencer: it can be easily sequenced from a master keyboard, groovebox, or DAW.
