Introducing System 100 - Behringer Eurorack Modular Synthesizer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2020
- Introducing eleven new Eurorack compatible modules - all of them authentic reproductions of original “System 100M” circuitry from 1975. With ultra-fat oscillators and creamy filters the sound became famous in the early 80s used by artists like Depeche Mode, Human League, Tears For Fears but also Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and even Aphex Twin.

If you’re into super-fat bass sounds, in-your-face leads or flowing soundscapes, definitely check them out! All modules are incredibly feature rich, have tremendous patching capabilities and a lot of them come with dual function, like:
- 112 dual oscillator with 3 waveforms, PWM and two sync modes
- 121 dual filter with 3-channel mixer per filter
- 130 dual VCA, again with dual 3-channel mixers
- 140 dual envelope has 3 outputs per ADSR plus a built in LFO that can be triggered and phase synced
- 173 gates module comes even with four gates that can switch audio and 6 quad buffered multiples
- 297 has a dual portamento controller plus two independent CV mixers
- 150 brings a ring modulator, 2 noise generators, syncable LFO and a sample and hold generator
- 172 module delivers a 6-step phase-shifter, an analog delay, an LFO and a gate delay
- 305 is an output module a four-band parametric EQ, a 4-channel mixer, line and separate headphone output and even a tuning oscillator
- 182 there is a powerful analog sequencer with either dual 8 steps or 1-16 steps and tempo, portamento and gate time controls
- 110 is a complete synth voice with VCO, VCA and filter in a single module

When Behringer says "we hear you" they really are embracing social media to find out what us the end-users want or would like to see. That really is refreshing, thank you Behringer. Keep up the good work!
These look great especially for the price but the jack placement is going to be so annoying to use in an actual Eurorack system.
It's quite unique in many ways! Hope it pays off. 👏👍
Make an Op-1
So how much for the whole system?
Bang on! What a company. +1 on a portable, small, standalone beat machine like an OP-1.
An affordable MIDI to CV module, West Coast modules: complex oscillators, waveshapers, low pass gates, interesting random and chaos sources, slope generators.
Maybe everything in one box like Buchla Easel. The genuine spring reverb.
So you're saying they should clone the Buchla Easel. Which I'd wager is already on their to-do list, actually. Although it might be an iffy proposition If it can't talk to their other synths natively.
Yes to all of this!
MIDI to CV yes
I CAN FINALLY AFFORD EURORACK!
Yay!
Midi > cv converter
Real spring reverb
Neutron style blending wave selector for osc and lfo
A sequencer where you can tune freely or switch it to notes
Overdrive
Super excited :D
+1 on a Midi >CV module: With a USB connection to a MAC /WIN application to allow the user to set which Midi CC is sent to which CV output and be able to set the range /scaling.
Just get an Crave, it cost the same as an midi to cv converter and can be used this way :)
Definitely midi to cv 🔥
A MIDI to CV Module capable of
8 Voice Polyphonic Routing ...so you can chain 8 of those all in one
voices & have a monster Poly! That's what I want!!!
agree on the midi/CV and the spring reverb
Drum modules, tape delay, granular reverb would be great. These are beautiful modules by the way. Please keep any future modules looking clean like this. A lot of Eurorack modules out there are just confusing looking. I hope this Eurorack venture for Behringer is not a one off. It sure will be fun to buy some new modules every month or so without shelling out hundreds of dollars for something that essentially does a portion of what a standalone synthesizer can do for almost the same price sometimes.
I doubt they can do any original design work at these prices. If those modules you want aren't clones of old technology I don't think it's gonna happen. All of the properly innovative Eurorack modules are going to stay at their price because they are actually unique. The overpriced clones will probably fall off. If you want the innovation of software technology in a hardware package you're going to have to pay. Obviously not counting the inevitable Mutable Instruments Behringer clones.
TangoWithTheCobra yes a kick drum module !
Lol, shelling out hundreds for something that essentially does a portion of what a standalone synth can do? I guess you need to stick with standalone synths then because if you don't understand how modular concept is far superior than standalone synth, ah well...
I agree about the price tho, but that's the nature of small batches & boutique builders.
Ne Valja
I try to praise a company for making affordable Eurorack modules and you insult me for it. Here’s an example of what I meant; I can buy a full stand-alone Korg Monologue synth with a built in sequencer for $200-300 or I can buy some Eurorack sequencers for the same price. This doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the flexibility and creativity of Eurorack. It means I just dislike the general prices of Eurorack gear. I’ve been assembling my Eurorack synths for years and spent enough to feed a small country. It will just be nice to see some affordability in Eurorack for a change. Hopefully, other companies will follow suit, but I doubt it.
@@TangoWithTheCobra I think Mason's point is that the price is not just the cost of making, shipping and selling the thing, it has to cover the R&D and design time, and that's presuming that the quality of construction, testing and quality control are equal. Hence it's easier to clone existing circuits than design something new and unique, which is Behringer's advantage. Eurorack certainly is "expensive" but the guys making these things are not ripping you off, they're not getting ridiculously rich in this business, they might be making a reasonable living but the man-hours are enormous. My guess is a lot of these folk would be raking in more money getting jobs designing boring stuff for some big company making widgets and white goods. Not dissing Behringer...they're making stuff I always wanted at price I can afford so that's great too.
For the lazy:
110 VCO, VCF & VCA
112 Dual VCO
121 Dual VCF
130 Dual VCA
140 Dual Envelope & LFO
150 Ring Mod, S&H, Noise Gen & LFO
172 Phase Shifter, Delay (audio and gate) & LFO
173 4 x Gate Switch & 6 Mults
182 Sequencer
297 Portamento and CV mixer
305 Output module
Probably makes sense to get two 130s and two 140s if you get the whole set. And an additional Midi module like the Mutant Brain.
That's a really great set of modules for around 1500.- (including the Behringer case). Crazy!
Kewl
Yes yes yes I’m putting that behringer sticker on my car now best company ever!
Ah but we used to put Behringer stickers on our car to ensure nobody would want to nick our Moog, now though a Behringer sticker is asking for a robbery!
I don't have a car, more money for synths
This aged like corona wine.
@@Dennis4Videos Are you high?
what i love about these is that they look like instrument panel units from the apollo capsule
west coast modules are obviously something to hope for
for sure!
I can stop wasting money doing the lottery then.
If they launch a Buchla easel...i would be so happy, this baby is literraly overpriced...but so beautiful and unique...
Behringer bring us the buchla easel at good price ;)
@@jeremjerem easel is still in production and patented. It will never happen...
this.
Please make a basic "how to get started with modular" tutorial series for beginners who want to get into modular so people can understand better what they want to buy.
Yesss! Modular gear will finally be available to more people.
Behringer: Providing musicians with a great way of dieting!
😂
Yeah I'm on a strict diet of baked beans, so I can save up for this!
BEHRINGER you're awesome! Thank you so much in all your hard work in bringing all these mods/synths back to us.
Great work. I think this is important for Behringer in two ways: firstly as a very affordable way to get into the fully modular synth environment and music making, and secondly as a means of declaring very clearly that they are to be taken seriously in the music tech world (and in the synth world in particular).
If someone has been living under a rock for the past years and has failed to realise (or acknowledge) that with their faithful and very budget-friendly reissues (or equipment in general including new designs), it is now quite impossible to deny as they can show they have the credentials for it. I'm really glad, also due to the fact that they provide the means of unique inspiration with hardware that me (and millions of others) would not be able to afford otherwise.
[ hardware that me (and millions of others) would not be able to afford otherwise.]
Exactly. These old synth companies have been sitting on designs they no longer even own. Now that Behringer has discovered this(and since they already own a company that manufactures Curtis chips),
we may see all manner of retro analog! We could see Prophet 5/10/VS, OB8/Xa, etc. It's just amazing.
BUT, what may be REALLY interesting, is that they now possess all these designs and the DeepMind began as a Juno 106(have you seen the side-by-sides w/ Prophet 6 and OB6??? I have one. The DeepMind is AMAZING). They have the MS-20 designer, Nishijima, heading their synth development in Japan. They could design an analog synth that would make the Matrixbrute, or Moog ONE look like a Timbre Wolf.
That was brilliantly said! And also exactly how I feel about the attainability of this epic gear, previously way out of the league of smaller wallets
These are clones, not reissues. A reissue is when original company releases the synth again after some time...
@@Strepite True!
we need nice behringer cases to fit the modules with the neutron and model d and so on, different sizes! man , i love what you guys are doing. literally everybody is watching you!
This is great timing! I've been away from music for fifteen years and have dedicated to get my feet wet again - with modular synths! So seeing Behringer offering such modules is absolutely wonderful. :)
Behringer really admire your efforts making eurorack more accessible, but please do not put the smaller eurorack manufacturers out of business by emulating their designs. Sticking to the fundamental modules like you have done here is wonderful. Great work.
Thanks to you I learned all these awesome stuff about history of synths and synthesis in general and I can practise what I have learned on neutron because of you. Keep up the good work!
Wow. Behringer. Im just speachless. Through all the new stuff your producing i am no doubt an absolute fan. I am finally going to have a module of my own. Thank you ladies and germs over at behringer.
This looks and sounds amazing! Thx!
And if you really want to know: I would like an affordable substitute for the Expert Sleepers ES-9 module. An USB audio interface with DC coupled ins and outs, for use with Abletons CV-tools .
An interface es-9 like would be a killer. It would be SMOKED from shops.
Definitely!
@@31pas0 they were available, sold out almost everywhere. immediately
This would be a great idea!
+1 on this
Behringer is bringing music to the masses. What once was reserved for the wealthy is now available to all, and that's really a good thing. It's truly amazing to see what people create with them.
Been using the Behringer Virtualizer 3D fx2000 for years now. Good to see them going back to their analog roots.
Interesting that you guys pulled this off, impressed! Especially at that price point. So now what I'm really waiting for is for you to do a clone of the EMS VCS3 (or Synthi AKS.) Do that, and it's an instant buy from me! (the EMS synths were second on my dream synth wishlist, the first on my list being the ARP 2600 which I recently pre-ordered from Korg.)
@BEHRINGER Please do this! Instant buy for me too.
And me too! Ems vcs3
I would kill for a VCS3, even moreso for a Synthi A...
Yes
Well, Uli Behringer did mention a long while back that they would be making one, but since then, they've put out an enormous amount of other synths... so hopefully, they haven't abandoned the EMS clone.
Thank you behringer!
This is just wow.
At some point rumors on the street Said that modules would be between 49-99 euro. I dont know if that was real.. but that would be a gamechanger!
.
Behringer just said $49 to $99.
@@Arperture Every single other Eurorack maker just SH*T their pants because now they are ALL going to have to slash their prices! Either that or they will slowly go out of business while the world embraces BEHRINGER!!!!!!
@@ryanmoran8366 I doubt it. Modular is not for the masses, nor will it ever be. Many modular users are purist. They are more than willing to pay the price for the modules they want.
@@SyntheticFuture Eurorack isn't for the masses because of the PRICE. Up until now, even a beginner rack would cost half a fortune which deters many from diving in. Behringer has now changed that. You don't think they're gonna stop with the System 100 do you? They will continue to pound out their own versions of popular modules like "Maths, etc.." plus their own unique modules and they will cost no more than $100. I'm not saying that this is going to happen over night. Give it 5 years tops and you'll see my friend. It's a game changer for the entire industry and many big name Euroack manufactures will suffer from it if they don't deflate their prices.
@@ryanmoran8366 Erica Synths already has pretty affordable modular systems (500 to 1000 usd). VCV rack is for a large part free. Cherry Audio has a very nice virtual modular system. Thing with modular is though that it really isn't made for that many people. It is hard to use, to put it midly. So even though it looks very desirable with all the little lights and knobs and cables really not that many people get something out of it. It's a small market. The prices are high because the production is on a small scale because very few people use this stuff. I think behringer had the right idea woth the semi modular stuff where everyone can fairly easily use it. With this system my guess is that we will see a huge spike in sales followed by a huge supply on the second hard market because of buyers regret. But hey maybe I'm wrong.
Real spring reverb! I NEED this!
You've turned things around and people love it.
Awesome news!
Some modules idea:
- Midi/usb to cv
- granular delay/reverb
- pitch quantiser with selectable scales
All of those already exist and they can't copy existing patents, these are exact copied of patents that expired some time ago...However that being said...www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/fh2.html would be the best for midi to cv. The Mimeophon from Make Noise is your granular delay/reverb/ Your pitch quantiser would be an ACL Sinfonion as your best bet. Hope that helps...
What a great start to the year. Thanks to all at Behringer. :-)
These look super cool, I'll definitely be picking some up when they hit the market. At some point it would be great to see you guys make a case that accepts and powers standard eurorack modules but also has a built-in keyboard with a mod/pitch wheel - sort of like a build your own Moog Grandmother-type product. I can only think of one of these on the market and it's very expensive, even used. Cheers Behringer, once again proving you listen to your customers!
This! The waldorf 37 is too expensive for me but would really be the only way I would consider starting a eurorack setup
Planning on buying 2 of each module maybe 4! Great job 👍
Guys!!!You are awesome!!! Keep on going!
YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS!!! I wanted to get some Roland modules (after getting a Neutron) but kept putting it off because of the excessive cost, just for a few... NO MORE! 😀Going to get most of them now, for around the same price - thank you Udi 👍
Gorgeous modules with sliders , bravo 👏
System-100 has ALWAYS been my dreamsystem and now it's possible. Behringer is love.
This is what I've been waiting for. When it releases I will buy it. Thank you Behringer!
Awesome! Just remembered that the modules shown in their Eurorack Case announce video were actually different than these System 100 modules. It looks like they're working on the Moog modules too
YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaw, I’ve been waiting so long for this ... well done guys and gals at Behringer
I can’t wait for the rest of these to be released, especially the sequencer!
Finally a company with a fair price for a modular system. No more DIY modules only because they are less expensive (but still expensive).
Thank you again, Behringer.
Next modules:
4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler like
Bitbox Touchscreen Sampler like
Mit euren Nachbauten habt ihr echt einen raus gehauen ! FETTE SCHEISSE! DANKE ! 😎🤘
Behringer taking over - WOW!
Please make some trippy/random modules!
Also some cool sampling modules like morphagene would be great!
Exciting! Keep up the good work, Behringer! Cheers to the team!
Hats off! you guys really delivered in all of 2019 and starting of 2020 with even more!
Would love to see eurorack: sample players, oscilloscope, resonator, some modeling type of synth voice like AAS/PLONK, synthetic drums, gate/trigger sequencers with polymeter&polyrhythm, super advanced clock module like PNW, comb delay/filter with extreme short delay times cv controllable.
Cheers
Yes! I can finally afford to get into Eurorack! Just waiting for their Eurorack Go case to release, then I'll start buying these modules.
PNW AJS I have several racks but I’m also waiting to see what their case looks like. Eurorack has a great zen like workflow in my opinion. I def get lost in music and I love it! Happy patching!
@@sheepkillindog The unboxing vids are only already, it looks familar to the tiptop mantis, with option to angle the case as well with 140hp on 6U
Can't wait until these are released. Maybe, I'll finally be able to start my modular synthesis journey. Thanks Behringer
Behringer. You guys are 👏 fucking 👏 killing 👏 it. What a great release.
BEHRINGER: please make a complex oscillator 💛
@@HazeAnderson Nope...
Here's an idea....build what you want. Behringer is quite busy at the moment.
@@SorchaSublime Yep West Coast synthesis is 10 times more interesting than East Coast style like Moog... Although the Moog is of course renowned by very beefy sound...
Smashed it again. Thanks Sequencers and FX to go with your synths.
You guys are slaying
An euclidean sequencer with 2 or 3 separate outputs that can all run different timings would be epic
I think Behringer has singlehandedly just changed what we can expect to hear from future music.
Changed for the better.
Same opinion here. :-)
Great to see this making the light of day. I also liked Uli's comment earlier today regarding the haters.
I would buy:
1. If you made a pre-configured System 100 clone with the modules you show here, in a basic rack, for ~90% of the cost of buying all these separately, I'd buy at least one, if not two of them. If it's not available in that format, I'll probably only buy 3 or 4 of these modules (likely 2 of the VCOs, one of the sequencer and one of the filters).
2. A decent Buchla Music Easel clone, but with the ability to fit more than one expander at a time (clone those too!) and make the jacks and voltage ranges all Eurorack compatible.
3. A contemporary real analogue tape echo/delay unit (ideally in 19" rack format), based on SRE-555 and/or RE-201. I know tape components can be hard to source, but T-Rex's Replicator isn't bad and isn't prohibitively expensive (I have one, I like it). If you were making them in the volumes you guys do, I reckon you could get the cost south of £600.
General comment; when you make these great clones of classic synths in Eurorack, the only thing that puts me off is that you seem to only allow polyphonic use via midi. Please consider putting 4 x V/oct inputs of ones with 4>= voices per input and one per oscillator for those with
Mutable clouds. I will love you forever Behringer.....xxxxxx
💪🏽 I feel like I’ll be taking ALL of them.
Phenomenal! Great work...
Still waiting for your EMS Synthi... That will change the game forever (although, I realize its a wild and unwieldy beast to try to replicate!)
I would love Behringer to remake the orginal System 100 (1975) filter as a module. The 100m filter is nice, but nothing screams quite like that original, sinfully squelchy filter!
So excited for this!
Well done, Behringer! The modules look and sound perfect. Sign me up!
Seems basic but a good oscilloscope module would be great for starters (like myself) and more advanced users. The ones on the market today are overpriced.
If you are really looking for an oscilloscope I'd recommend looking into second hand analogue scopes. There are also a few pc scopes that should work fine for sound
I would buy a module with an oscilloscope in a heartbeat
mfb has a VCA with a small oscilloscope
An oscilloscope that is affordable would be great. I think about picking up a stand-alone but would prefer one in the rack.
If you want it exclusively for music, you may have a look at alibaba. They sell them for as low as 20$ including display and controls (self assembly). If you are willing to spend 50$ you get them ready assembled with housing etc. However, they only sample frequencies up to 200kHz, which is more than fine for synths, but quite low for common electronics purposes.
Seriously getting so excited watching this. And that full voice module (110 I think) is just sick, but I'm gonna have a really hard time not getting them, having doubles on most the modules means i can set up an easy stereo voice, didnt really think about that until I saw output mixer with the R output.
KILLING IT BEHRINGER.
seriously tho I'm pretty sure I'm gonna lose my mind if/when anything more by y'all is dropped this namm.
THANKS!!
Wow! this is fantastic! A dream coming to life :D
FINALLY! Been waiting to get my hands on these ever since Uli acknowledged their beginnings!
Amazing Behringer! I'd love to see a pitch quantizer, especially one that could process 2 or more individual pitch CV signals into the same scale.
I honestly can’t wait to get my hands on these!! 😋😋😋
Yes! Hopefully they're coming out soon? I would love to see a comprehensive video about each module.
This is fantastic. I'm glad to see Behringer put modular in the hands of the many. :-)
The price made me fall out of my chair!! Well done, Uli!!!
What I really want? -> RD-9 / RD-909
It's coming
you and everyone else :)
Behringer is Champion to announce BRand New Products.... and forget them... (RD 909 announced in nov 2018)...
Aw comeon.. those overused worn out sounds AGAIN?
Wow... looks and sounds good. On my wish list :)
Wow Behringer, you guys are blowing my mind! As to what modules I'd like to see... a combination arp / quantizer maybe? Also a midi to CV module for playing my oscillators polyphonically with a midi controller. Maybe an Ornament and Crime type multi function module? Also a clock generator with polyrhythmic capability and lots of outs.
Behringer 100M style module wishlist:
* Voltage controlled envelope generators, either ADSR or just decay
* Multimode or hipass version of 100M style filter
* Filters: Moog, MS-20, Wasp (preferably all multimode, not just lowpass)
* Spring reverb
* PS-3300 style resonator (3 bandpass filters controlled by 3 LFOs)
* 808 + 909 drums with trigger and accent in
I'm so stokedddd
I think we are going to need an interface module that takes MIDI/USB MIDI in, and creates pitch control voltage, trigger and gate signals out, and maybe also pitch bend and modulation and aftertouch signals (and other controller data?) as voltages out.
There could be a monophonic version and a polyphonic version with some kind of round-robin voice assignment and multiple pitch CV, trigger and gate outs, one for each voice.
check out the nifty case by cre8audio
Motu can send cv out of the analog outs, works good with reaktor as Host
You realise that loads of people already make those, right? Go look on modulargrid. The Expert Sleepers FH-2 is a good place to start.
@@invisibleoc But if Behringer copied their design we could have it much cheaper!
I think there's a module by PolyEnd that already does that.
Beautiful!
Excellent!! Can't wait for them.
A quantizer will be very important for the 182 Analog Sequencer and even the Moog sequencer reissue. Quantizers are expensive but are mandatory to create musical sequences in a given scale, or to connect random generator to produce melodic outputs etc... It will be a must have module in the Behringer module series !
The killer app would be a quad MIDI-2-CV, such that more modules could be used to make a polyphonic synth in conjunction with most 25-37-key controllers. IIRC, that was not available in the original Roland line.
I’m a firm believer if I love a semi-modular, two is better than one! Since I’ve completed my 100 series set, I decided to double things up!
God bless Behringer!
MIDI -> CV !!! Can't believe you forgot that.
16 step stepsequencer with 4 or more CVs per step
...and a lot of different filters 😍
Okay these are actually really impressive.
What a time to be alive really
Very interest to see what @StarskyCarr makes of these
Thanks Behringer! Now i‘ll start to go modular👍
Nice! Behringer you rock!
That's just excellent 👌💯
Pitch Quantizer module would be nice...
Andreas Franke one that you could set which notes to use with a usb keyboard would be perfect for live use
Andreas Franke - something like the Sonic Potions Penrose would be very nice.
I totally agree! Something like intelijels scales
Left Mono the penrose is great!
they liked it so it's definitely happening
So cool! Can't wait for someone with a wall full of these.
This system (I live the original system 100m) might make me start my first modular synth. Tnx Uli & Co🤯🤯🤯
This is AMAZING!!!!!
Been waiting for this, im just about to start my modular journey.. PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
Very cool!!
Right, time to build another case, this time in eurorack format. This is going to immensely compliment my live rig, together with my 100% self developed and built generative rack. I am super excited, behringer! Thank you!
Awesome 💥
@behringer you knocked it out of the park.... again 🤗
😎👍🎛🎚🎹Thank you for listening!
How many B synths are you guys planning on buying this year? I got the Pro-1 and preordered the Poly D and we're only 2 weeks into 2020...
shimmer reverb module + pitch shifter? Comb filter module?
