Behringer

Add drum sounds from the late '70s to your studio or live setup with the Behringer BDS-3, an authentic reproduction of original Simmons SDS-3 circuitry in a desktop format. The instrument allows creators to trigger synth textures from any audio signal, transforming a simple mic d drum into a powerful and expressive percussion instrument.The BDS-3 has all the same quirks and characteristics that so many musicians loved with the original release, but Behringer naturally updated some features to make it compatible with lots of various modern setups. The BDS-3 can be removed from its desktop enclosure and will fit into and can be powered by any standard Eurorack case. Another notable feature includes MIDI (5-pin DIN and USB), allowing you to trigger each drum synth from your DAW or hardware sequencer.Benefits Classic analog polyphonic drum synthesizer from the 70sAuthentic reproduction of original Simmons SDS-3 circuitryInfinite percussion sounds including Toms, Bass Drums, Cymbals, Bells, Gongs, Vibes, Thunder, Jumbo Jets, etc.Special effects channel for indescribable sound modulation effects4 drum channels with separate controls for clock, decay, bend, pitch, noise and assignable decay killSounds can be triggered via analog control input, MIDI and USB4 independent analog outputs for external processing and recording57 controls give you direct and real-time access to all important parametersComplete Eurorack solution main module can be transferred to a standard Eurorack caseComprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel, Velocity and Voice Priority selectionHit it Right BDS-3 features 4 identical drum channels that have controls for adjusting different elements of a beat. You can add a click at the start of a sound (similar to a stick hitting a drum), adjust decay, bend a note up or down, change the pitch of a signal coming through as well as the range of LFO and effects from the Master/Effects section. The most fun way of triggering the channels is by mic-ing up a drum to each of the channels and just playing. The inputs are even velocity sensitive and responsive to your playing dynamics.Dial in the Vibe The Master/Effects section of BDS-3 affects all four channels. Here you can adjust overall pitch, LFO rate, range, shape (between square or sine wave), Run Time and Output Level. Aside from triggering effects via mic input, you can also trigger BDS-3 via MIDI or USB. Combined, everything about BDS-3 allows you to give color and a lot of personality to your songs, making for an exciting playing and listening experience.Eurorack Ready Designed to handle the rigors of life on the road or in the studio, BDS-3 can easily be transferred to any standard Eurorack case for the perfect integration into your setup.
