Essential Information About the Behringer Neutron Synthesizer
- Dual 3340 VCOs with 5 waveforms each for massive basses, sharp leads, and evolving textures.
- 100% analog signal path enriched with an integrated noise generator and overdrive for added character.
- Semi-modular architecture with an extensive patch matrix for limitless creative routing.
- Two dedicated ADSR envelopes (VCF/VCA) to precisely shape dynamics, attacks, and releases.
An Accessible Semi-Modular That Bridges Vintage and Modernity
The
Behringer Neutron stands as an iconic analog module in the manufacturer's lineup: an original instrument drawing from the aesthetic of classic circuits while offering contemporary flexibility. Its 3340 oscillators recall the warm timbres prized in studios, while its semi-modular architecture opens the door to immediate sonic exploration without requiring a full modular system.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for producers and keyboardists of all levels seeking authentic analog character. The Neutron excels in techno, electro, synthwave, ambient, IDM, or sound design for film scoring. Compact and robust, it naturally fits both studio and stage environments, whether solo, at the heart of a hybrid setup, or integrated into a larger modular configuration.
Features and Innovations
The Neutron employs monophonic subtractive synthesis centered around two versatile 3340 oscillators (5 waveforms each) with independent pulse width/pitch modulation. Two ADSR envelope generators control the filter and amplifier for musical dynamic control. The fully analog signal path is thickened by a noise generator and an overdrive circuit for tones ranging from smooth to saturated. Thanks to its semi-modular design, the patch matrix allows free redefinition of audio and CV flows, integration of other modules, and customization of the synth's behavior. Controlled via MIDI, USB-MIDI, or CV/Gate, it pairs perfectly with a keyboard, hardware sequencer, or your DAW.
