Add some vintage synthesizer flavor to your setup with the Behringer 2-XM, a recreation of the Oberheim Two-Voice, a polyphonic analog synth originally released in '70s and whose sound has been used by used by the greats such as Vince Clarke, Jan Hammer, and Vangelis. An ultra-affordable desktop homage to that iconic synthesizer with all the features of the original and then some, the 2-XM lets you conjure up a wide range of synthesizer sounds including basses, leads, drones, and sound effects. With its pure analog signal path and four authentic VCOs, plus extremely flexible multimode SEM VCFs and VCAs, the 2-XM is sure to become one of your favorite go-to synthesizers.Benefits Authentic reproduction of famous synthesizer circuitry from the 70sPure analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF, and VCA designs2 independent voices for polyphonic, split or 4 oscillator unison sounds2 variable oscillator shapes with adjustable pulse width for inspiring soundsOscillator sync for piercing lead sounds and complex effects2 legendary multimode filters with low-pass, high-pass, bandpass, and notch modes2 dedicated and fully analog LFOs with sine waveforms4 analog envelope generators for extensive control of filters and amplifiersAdditional Details Noise generator dramatically expands waveform generationExtensive modulation capabilities, including internal and external sources2-channel mixer section featuring level and pan controls for intense stereo soundsPortamento function applicable to both voices for great pitch gliding effects2 external audio inputs for processing external sound sourcesDedicated audio outputs plus a combined stereo output for maximum flexibilityMassive amount of CV and Gate In/Outs for extreme creativityHardware 16-voice Poly Chain allows combining multiple synthesizers for up to 32 voice polyphony67 controls to give you direct and real-time access to all important parametersMIDI and USB implementation with MIDI channel and Voice Priority selectionFaithful Recreation The original design consisted of two single-voice modules coupled together. With its 37-note keyboard, it was a considerable size but introduced a feature no other synth was capable of at the time: polyphony. The 2-XM combines all the features of the original with all the awesome stuff that we've all come to love in modern synths, such as MIDI and USB implementation, stereo, as well as a ton of CV and GATE ins and outs that'll allow you to transform and shape sounds any way you want.Double the Fun The 2-XM comes with 4 VCOs, 4 envelope generators, 2 LFOs, and 2 multimode VCFs, across two synthesizer expander modules. These two voices can be combined for some sweet two-voice polyphony, split, or have the 4 oscillators in unison for some truly intricate layering and rich, vintage analog tones.Starting Your Sonic Sculpture Each VCO can be shaped in many different and exciting ways with their adjustable frequency, modulation and pulse width controls. And when you want a spicy lead sound, the oscillators can be synced to add even more nuance to your waveforms.Just the Right Frequency Of course, the 2-XM doesn't stop there. The VCFs provide another slew of adjustable settings. Aside from the Frequency, Modulation, and Resonance controls, each VCF comes with an amazing multimode filter; turning the knob all the way to the left selects the low-pass filter, turning it the other way selects the high-pass filter, or setting it at 12 o'clock selects the notch filter. You can even set the VCF to bandpass mode with the flip of a switch.Four Envelopes Along with all the controls at your fingertips, the 2-XM also includes a total of four envelope generators to help further craft your sound and introduce subtle nuance or percussiveness with the included Attack, Decay, and Sustain controls. In addition, the VCA switch allows you to toggle between envelope control or VCA, which overrides ENV 1. You can even plug in an external VCA control to really dial it in.2-Channel
