Description

The Behringer MODEL 15 semi-modular analog synthesizer brings the legendary sound of classic modular systems into a compact, modern design. With its pure analog signal path, dual VCOs and 48 patch points, this synth is a powerhouse for creating super-fat basslines, soaring leads, and intricate soundscapes. Whether you're new to modular synthesis or a seasoned pro, the MODEL 15 offers a perfect blend of performance and flexibility to ignite your creativity.

Semi-Modular Freedom

The MODEL 15's semi-modular design makes it ready to play right out of the box—no patching required. With 48 patch points, it integrates seamlessly with other modular gear, allowing you to customize and expand your setup. Inspired by the legendary System 55, the MODEL 15 condenses the iconic features of a classic modular system into a portable and user-friendly format. Now, you can experience the magic of modular synthesis without the bulk of a large system.

Legendary Analog Sound

At its core, the MODEL 15 features dual oscillators, each offering four selectable waveforms, pulse width modulation, and a sub-oscillator for added depth. The classic 24dB ladder filter with resonance delivers the warm, rich tones that define analog synthesis. With additional tools like oscillator sync and an ADSR envelope, you'll have everything you need to craft detailed, expressive sounds for any genre or project.

Performance and Playability

The MODEL 15 includes an advanced 256-step sequencer with three memory slots, key transpose, and multiple playback modes, making it easy to create and perform dynamic sequences. The built-in arpeggiator offers additional playback options for melodies and riffs, while the spring reverb emulation adds a spacious, vintage character to your sound. Combined with a fully analog LFO featuring four waveforms and dedicated modulation controls, the MODEL 15 delivers the tools you need to shine on stage or in the studio.

Eurorack Compatibility

The MODEL 15 is a complete Eurorack solution, designed to fit into any standard Eurorack case. Its compact size and robust connectivity make it a versatile addition to modular setups. With 16-voice Poly Chain capability, you can combine multiple MODEL 15 units for up to 16-voice polyphony, unlocking new levels of sonic complexity. Whether standalone or integrated into a larger system, the MODEL 15 offers unparalleled flexibility for sound design and performance.

The Behringer MODEL 15 is more than a synthesizer—it's a gateway to the limitless possibilities of analog synthesis. With its authentic sound, modular flexibility, and performance-focused features, this synth is an ideal choice for musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. Whether you're crafting intricate patches, composing dynamic sequences, or performing live, the MODEL 15 ensures your music will stand out with bold, expressive analog character.
