Sound demo of the VITA SYNTHS Modular Algorithmic Bass Drum Eurorack Synthesizer ADS-BD with no effects, accompanied by the VITA SYNTHS Modular Algorithmic Closed & Open Hi-Hat Eurorack Synthesizer ADS-HH and Behringer PRO-800.
A demonstration of the DR-SEQ-64 module by VITA SYNTHS, showing how to:
delete an existing pattern,
create a new pattern,
save and later load a pattern.
The video also shows that an unsaved pattern is not lost if the module is powered off unexpectedly, and it will be restored when the module is turned on again. This feature helps prevent loss of unsaved patterns.
"Analog Classics is a collection of 50 patches: 18 Leads, 16 Basses, 16 Plucks for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer K-2.
It includes famous sounds that are found in many electronic tracks, from vintage to modern, musical solo timbres; basses that will fit into any track or performance.
💈 The patches will add uniqueness to your music, featuring the characteristic sound introduced by the Behringer K-2.
🖲 Plucks are excellent for use with arpeggiators or sequencers. In most examples of this category, I utilize an arpeggiator. K-2 doesn’t have a built in arp/seq, but you may integrate your preferred arpeggiators or sequencers from your DAW or MIDI controller.
📻 The presets are suitable for a variety of genres, including: ambient, electronica, IDM, deep, techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.
📚 The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synth and discover its true depth.
🎛 To recreate these patches, you will need up to 2 patch cords. There are audio examples of all patches inside the folder with the soundset.
Drums and pads from the video demo are not included into the soundset."
Quick Tip using the KVP to send external VCOs into the MS-20. KVP stands for Korg Voltage Processor, and is derived from the vintage MS-02 voltage processor no longer in production. As you're already aware, you can use KVP to convert eurorack pitch (v/oct) to the Korg standard (hz/v). And use your sequencer to control the MS-20....
But what about the other (Korg hz/v)-to-(Euro v/oct) pitch converter? Sure! Use the MS-20 to control your eurorack VCOs. Take it only one step further to send the external VCO output INTO the MS-20 external input. To add more VCOs to the MS-20 oscillators for big fat sound. I will show you how to patch it up. It works for the vintage MS-20, the MS-20 Mini reissue as well as the Behringer K-2. And any manufacturer synth using the Hz/v standard.
Some shaky cam footage, I threw this one together in haste...but don't hate :D Hit that LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE now.

38:35 Pros & cons
"The Behringer K-2 is a modern re-interpretation of one of the greatest monosynths of all time: the Korg MS-20. Introduced in1978, the Korg MS-20 was one of the most affordable monosynths to hit the market...and the K-2 continues this tradition of combining near-infinite flexibility with a budget-friendly price.
The K-2 is a Eurorack-compatible adaptation of the MS-20, rife with potential for patching with itself and external devices. Like the original, it has a howling dual filter, semi-modular patch bay, and an external signal processor for integrating external gear.
In this video, we use the K-2 in conjunction with an Arturia Keystep and Behringer RD-8 to create a range of sounds from melodic keyboard sequences to huge bass lines."
"In this video I will use 5 different patches while playing live.
1. Plucked sound with echo effect.
2. Lead sound.
3. Soft and round flute like sound.
4. Hard but thin sound, kinda like a harpsichord.
5. Ultra powerful lead sound.
The 'backing track' is sequenced via the Korg Electribe EMX-1, and I'm both playing the EMX-1 and changing patterns on it, so it sometimes steals my concentration from the Odyssey - sorry about that :)
The string sound in the beginning comes from the Korg X5Dr and is a Jay B patch.
The guitar like sounds up next are from the Novation KS4.
The heavy long noted bass sounds comes from the DSI Mopho.
The short noted bass line comes from the Volca Bass.
The Vocoder sound comes from the Korg ih (Interactive Vocal Harmony) and is controlled live from the Korg R3.
The rest is all Behringer Odyssey. The Bodyssey uses it's inbuilt reverb effect.
This is an original track called "All Over Again". Lyrics and music made by Arrayzable.
This soundset will also work with KORG MS-20mini & Original MS-20.
With slight differences caused by filter models, but overall patches & sound ideas are the same!
By many asks we are continuing series of sounds for Behringer synthesizers.
This soundset splitted on categories:
· BASS (15)
· DRONE (5)
· DRUM&PERC(8)
· SEQ(7)
· FX (2)
· LEADS (16)
· PLUCKS (11)
Suited for all modern genres of electronic music: retrowave,drum’n’bass, techno, ambient, trap, trance, house, classic electronica, downtempo.
Also magical Duophonic & GrooveBox patches inside!
"Soooo...I've been beta testing this very early prototype of the Behringer K-2 for several months, and I'm really sorry that it's taken until now to show you anything on it. With so many products on their release "radar", I've had to wait until I got the go-ahead from them, and then once they did finally give me the green light, things in my personal life took some 'challenging' turns and I just haven't had the time or mind to do this. So, here you go!"
Today I am introducing my new module - the KVP.
KVP is a pitch and gate CV processor that makes the MS-20 compatable w/ Eurorack (v/oct).
It works for the vintage MS-20, the MS-20 Mini reissue as well as the Behringer K-2.
And any manufacturer synth using the Hz/v standard.
Percussion: Basimilus Iteritas Alter
Sequencing: Arturia Beatstep Pro
Delay: Timefactor
Reverb: Big Sky
Recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.

Module description:
So you want to control your vintage MS-20 / MS-20 Mini / Behringer K-2 (and more!) from Euro modules.
But when you do, it sounds weird – the pitch is wayyy not right.
And the gate triggers… forget-about-it. KVP can help with that.
KVP can take Euro pitch voltages (v/oct), and process them to standards used by Korg.
Pretty much any manufacturer that uses the Hz/v standard.
It can also do the other way around so you can control your v/oct synths and Euro modules pitch from the MS-20.
Dialing in the frequency and tracking width is a breeze using multi-turn trim pots accessible from the front panel.
KVP will generate about 3 octaves of tracking (C1 to C4) - same as the MS-20 keybed.
KVP also has 2 processors for handling gate signals as well.
Slide the TYPE switch to the right (convert) and it can convert Korg to Euro gates or the other way around.
Slide the type switch to the left (no conversion) and the same gate that goes in is what comes out.
Some pics of the inner box, outer shipping box, and a few on the "Aging Test" bench. These appear to be from Behringer's factory in China based on the Chinese characters. You can see some of the workers there as well.
On the box:
"Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with Dual VCOs, Ring Modulator, External Signal Processor, 16-Voice Poly Chain and Eurorack Format"
Side note: for those of you new to Behringer products, this is worth a read. There are two, or rather three camps when it comes to Behringer. Those that support them, those that don't, and those that look the other way. You get to decide what camp you are in yourself. My job is to report the news.
Some info on the K-20 below. Curious how a previously existing name for a synth can be trademarked. The trademark was actually revealed December 2017, but you can see filing from Music Group IP (Behringer's parent company) below published in 2018. You can also find the initial list of synths on Behringer's radar here, including trademarks. The Pro-1, MS-101, and VC340 are readying release, and there was the Jupiter-8 tease here.
"I'll be honest, I love Korg mono synths. One of my all-time favourites is the Korg 770, this little guy's older sister. First off I'm amazed at the form factor in such a small footprint. This thing sounds awesome. Having a high pass and low pass with adjustable peak is amazing for fine tweaking tones. My 770 doesn't have that. One could get lost for hours just patching to different places and finding an endless sea of sounds. I never had an MS-20 so this was a learning experience of wonderment and at times pure awe. What a flexible little monster. Most definitely a generator of sounds from outer space. Add some tape delay and I'd go missing for hours on end. Wonderful job on this guy."
On the WASP Deluxe:

About Me :
MyOneManBand is the name I give to the live improvisational electronica that I create in real-time out of sounds from many instruments, often using a mixture of organic sound sets such at classical guitar, marimba, dulcimer, kalimba, accordion and drums with synthetic textures electronic percussion, beeps, bleeps and hiss.
I make music to please an urge that exists within me to see what is possible to accomplish on my own with no pre-recording or backing tracks. I came to this way of working through the live-looping process using audio recording tools such as the Boss Loopstation and Echoplex Digital Pro, but I now find for the main part that MIDI is more flexible for what I do as it allows the musical structures of my work to remain flexible in real time so I can add and strip away layers in a non linear way.
I also make music to take my own small space within the context of the many great artists who are also working in the field and as such I am on a journey that does not expect reward financially or through the more conventional measures of success, but rather I hope to find value in my work through the people who I meet through its undertaking and the ideas and thoughts that they bring into my life.
I am therefore always eager to engage with my views through critique, help or just to talk geek for a while...please...never be afraid to get in touch.
