Analog Synthesizer with 32 Full-Size Keys, 3340 VCO with 4 Simultaneous Waveforms, VCF, NovaMod FM Sources, 32-Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator and Live Performance Kit

An ultra-affordable homage to a 1980s and '90s iconic synthesizer with all the features of the original and then some, such as a 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator and live performance kit, the MS-1 MK II-GY lets you conjure up virtually any sound with incredible finesse and ease. With its 32 semi-weighted full-size keys, pure analog signal path, authentic 3340 VCO, plus improved VCF and VCA filters, the MS-1 MK II-GY is sure to become your favorite keyboard.
 
Faithful to the Original
Great care has been taken in engineering the MS-1 MK II-GY, including the true to the original analog circuitry, legendary VCO, VCF and VCA designs. This highly-focused attention to detail is what gives the MS-1 MK II-GY its ultra-flexible sound shaping capability, which covers everything from super-fat bass and lead tones to stunning effects – and all the way out to the otherworldly sounds of your imagination.
 
Versatile Oscillator
MS-1 MK II-GY’s authentic 3340 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) provides an incredible range of 4 simultaneously-mixable waveforms for sculpting the perfect sound. Options include: saw, triangle, square/PWM and octave-divided square sub-oscillator. Additionally, the VCO can be adjusted across a wide, 4-octave range (16', 8', 4', and 2'). This amazing flexibility gives you the tools needed to be your creative best.
 
Versatile VCF
The very heart of MS-1 MK II-GY’s sound is its highly-flexible Voltage Control Filter (VCF), which includes faders for: cutoff Frequency, Resonance, Envelope and Modulation depth, and Keyboard follow to dial in the perfect sound. MS-1 MK II-GY’s VCF can be modulated via the ADSR, keyboard tracking and Bender controller. The Frequency Modulation (FM) Amount knob sets the depth, while the FM Source selector lets you further modify the signal by choosing from: Pulse; Sawtooth; Sub-Oscillator 1 Octave Down; 2 Octaves Down; Narrow 2 Octaves Down, and Noise.
 
The Envelope, Please...
MS-1 MK II-GY’s Envelope generator features 4 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) faders that help you craft incredible sounds, and utilizes a 3-position switch for Gate, Gate + Trigger and LFO. When applied to the VCA, the ADSR envelope is used to control the level of the note being played over time. When applied to the VCF, the ADSR envelope is used to control the cut-off frequency of the filter for each note played over time.
 
Onboard Sequencer and Arpeggiator
MS-1 MK II-GY’s sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps of notes and rests and save them as a pattern. You can record, save and recall up to 64 patterns, all of which can be stored in the 8 banks, each holding up to 8 patterns. Your sequences can be played either in Keyboard mode, where you create and store the pattern, or Step mode, which allows you to interact while composing a pattern.
 
Own the Stage
When you’re ready to strut your stuff and get a little centerstage time, the MS-1 MK II-GY has that covered too! Just attach the included guitar strap and handgrip (with pitch bend wheel and a pitch modulation trigger) and take your performance to the next level. Why should singers and guitar players get all the limelight – carve out a little of your own!
 
Modulate Me to the Max!
The noise generator can also be used as modulation source to create distortion-like effects, which will send your solo soaring into the stratosphere. Glide (portamento) lets you sweep seamlessly over time from one note to the next, creating smooth-as-silk transitions that few other instruments can emulate. MS-1 MK II-GY’s Bender is also assignable to the VCO, VCF and pitch mod wheel on attachable handgrip. You can even modulate the pulse wave via the LFO, envelope or manually – for sounds ranging from mild to wild!
 
Controls and Connectivity
We just can’t help ourselves – like you, we're gear-heads, too. For those who want the numbers, MS-1 MK II-GY has 57 knobs, faders and switches, all laid out in a highly intuitive format that puts the joy back into your music creation. Input and output connections include: MIDI I/O and Thru over USB/MIDI DIN; Velocity Out; CV; Gate; External Clock In; VCF CV In; Hold; External Audio; Phones; and main Output.
 
Unleash Your Imagination
When it comes to not just pushing envelopes but creating them, MS-1 MK II-GY gives your imagination its voice – and it’s so very affordable. When modern performance calls for classic analog sound – it calls for the Behringer MS-1 MK II-GY!
