Behringer CRAVE Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with 3340 VCO - Adorama 1 Year Limited Warranty

Description

Let the CRAVE Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with 3340 VCO transport you back to the golden era of synthesis, where iconic sounds shaped the music of legends like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Radiohead. This affordable homage to the classic Prophet-5 synthesizer retains all the hallmark features of the original and enhances them with modern functionalities, including a 32-step sequencer and an arpeggiator, for a seamless blend of vintage and contemporary soundscapes.

Crafted with a pure analog signal path, the CRAVE synthesizer boasts an authentic 3340 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), offering pulse and sawtooth wave outputs for a rich and diverse sonic palette. The pulse waveform can be fine-tuned with the Shape switch, providing a spectrum from narrow pulses to full square waves, with a tuning range of +/- one full octave. The VCO's versatility is further amplified by modulation capabilities via the envelope or the low-frequency oscillator (LFO), and a Mix control to balance the internal VCO with the noise generator for expansive sound creation.

At the core of the CRAVE's distinctive sound is the revered Classic Moog 24 dB ladder filter, allowing for extensive experimentation with Cutoff Frequency, Resonance, and Modulation. The filter Mode switch offers both Lo- and Hi-pass options, giving you the freedom to sculpt sounds that range from warm and smooth to sharp and cutting.

Despite being a monophonic instrument, the CRAVE's 16-note Poly Chain feature enables you to link multiple units for up to 16-voice polyphony, significantly enhancing the instrument's versatility and polyphonic capabilities.

The CRAVE is designed for immediate playability, with a default signal routing that requires no patch cables to start crafting incredible sounds. Its semi-modular architecture opens up a world of possibilities for those inspired by the synth-driven tracks of the '80s and '90s, as well as for creating groundbreaking new tones.

The onboard sequencer and arpeggiator are intuitive and engaging, allowing for up to 32 steps of notes and rests to be programmed and saved as patterns. With the capacity to store and recall up to 64 patterns across 8 banks, the CRAVE encourages endless creative exploration.

A fully-analog LFO with selectable triangle or square waveforms provides tactile modulation, while the noise generator and Glide function enable the creation of everything from subtle effects to soaring leads.

With 47 hands-on controls, the CRAVE synthesizer is a dream for both seasoned synth enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The extensive 18 x 14 I/O matrix offers a vast array of patching options, further expanding the instrument's sound-shaping capabilities.

Embrace the rich history of analog synthesis and make your mark on the future with the CRAVE Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with 3340 VCO. Experience the joy of true analog sound creation and let your imagination soar with this modern classic. Visit Adorama to explore the captivating world of the CRAVE synthesizer and add this timeless instrument to your musical arsenal today. Music creation has never felt this inspiring!
