The 1970s and 80s spawned the first wave of portable analog synthesizers, and while quickly adopted by a bevy of renowned musical artists including Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Rick Wakeman, Jean- Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita and Keith Emerson to name a few, they were somewhat temperamental and very expensive. An updated incarnation of its predecessors with all the original features and then some, the BEHRINGER NEUTRON lets you conjure up virtually any monophonic sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The pure analog signal path is based on authentic VCO, VCF, VCA and state variable filter designs in conjunction, with a flexible, multi-wave LFO and classic Bucket Brigade Delay (BBD). NEUTRONs Paraphonic mode allows both 3340 analog oscillators to be independently controlled for an expanded palette of tonal options. And when it comes to protection and convenience, the NEUTRON can be mounted in a standard Eurorack, making it ideal for the studio and/or the road. Owning a NEUTRON is like having your own personal time machine, enabling you to freely embrace the past ? or shape the future!
Great care has been taken in designing the NEUTRON to ensure it is true to the circuitry of the classic synthesizers that made musical history. This highly-focused attention to detail is what gives the NEUTRON its ultra-flexible sound shaping capability, which covers everything from super-fat bass and lead tones, stunning effects, progressive organ sounds and all the way out to the otherworldly sounds of your imagination.
The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and 80s are etched in the annals of progressive rock, wave and synth-pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. NEUTRON's pure analog signal path with legendary VCO, VCF and VCA circuits, lets you recreate all of that magic or design incredibly fat and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right!
NEUTRON's highly-flexible dual Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) provide an incredible range using 5 unique waveforms for sculpting the perfect sound. Oscillators 1 and 2 options include: Tone Mod; Square; Sawtooth; Triangular or Sine; which can be adjusted across an extremely-wide, 3-octave range (32', 16', 8'). This amazing flexibility gives you all the tools to be your creative best.
The very heart of NEUTRON's sound is its highly-flexible 12 dB State Variable Filter, which lets you freely experiment with the cutoff Frequency (10 Hz - 15 kHz), Modulation and Envelope Depth to dial in the perfect sound. NEUTRON's Filter Mode switch provides 3 settings (high pass, band pass and low pass) for a broad range of tonal options. Additionally, support for filter Keytracking enables you to select the amount of filtering that is applied to the note being played. The VCA can even be overloaded via NEUTRON's Overdrive circuit to add insane spice and edge to your sounds ? without saying "goodbye" to your precious low-end content.
When it comes to envelope generation, NEUTRON has all bases covered, thanks to its 2 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators. NEUTRON serves up all the versatility and tone-sculpting options a professional musician could ask for.
We just can't help ourselves like you, we're gear-heads, too. For those who want the numbers, NEUTRON has 36 knobs and 7 switches, all laid out in a highly-intuitive format that puts the joy back into your music creation. The onboard patching matrix provides 32 In x 24 Out TS 1/8" (3.5 mm) connections. Additional I/O includes: MIDI I/O and Thru over USB/MIDI DIN; main audio Input and Output; and Phones with its own dedicated level control.

This was my entry point to the synthesis world, and I'm totally hooked! It sounds amazing, works as a stand-alone system, or can be integrated in a eurorack with other modulars....the finishing (knobs, panel and wood) is great, and the price is unbeatable! With a few tricks I got a 3rd oscillator out of It (and the existing two can be played polyphonically or separately). The LFO is a beast and the delay is pretty beat. It needs a sequencer though, Arturia's Beatstep works perfectly with it...
