Behringer Crave Synthesizer

The Behringer Crave Synthesizer is an excellent introduction to semi-modular and analog synthesis with legendary synthesizer design and classic analog sound. And an even better addition to your set-up if you’re a synth veteran.

Emulating a legendary and celebrated oscillator from the heyday of analog synthesizers – the Behringer Crave is a sonic marvel. As well as its powerful oscillator, the Crave also features an incredible ladder filter based on a vintage design. This helps to round off your sound design process with a beautiful finishing touch.

The Behringer Crave features an extensive patch bay that will offer incredible depth during the sound crafting process. The modular patch bay provides huge scope to the already rich sound creation process capable of Crave’s excellent oscillator and filter. Taking notes from the legends of synthesizer design, the Crave’s attractive price point makes it an essential asset to your synth set-up – beginner or otherwise.

Faithful recreation of a classic

The Crave bases its design on a classic synthesizer from the late ‘80s boasting authentic analog circuitry based on the original VCO, VCF and VCA designs. The original inspired the sound of many a legendary artist including Dr. Dre, Radiohead, John Carpenter, Michael Jackson and more. The Behringer Crave brings a classic into the modern world whilst still retaining all the features that made the original so sought after. The onboard 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator make it easy to input and experiment with rhythms.

3340 voltage-controlled oscillator

At the heart of the Behringer Crave is the 3340 voltage controlled oscillator. This powerful oscillator provides you with two waveforms to choose from: pulse or reverse-sawtooth. The waveforms can be edited once selected by using the Shape switch and the tuning control. You can also blend between the internal VCO and the noise generator using the Mix control.

Classic 24dB ladder filter and envelope generator

Sculpt and shape your sounds with the classic-style 24ddB ladder filter. The ladder filter features its own dedicated controls for Cutoff frequency, Resonance and Modulation for dialling in parameters with precision. The filter mode switch allows you to toggle between Lo or Hi-pass settings, allowing you to set the range. The onboard envelope generator allows you to change the overall shape of your sound. The Attack, Decay and Sustain controls come complete with a Sustain On/Off switch. This allows you to sustain a note for as long as the key is held.
