Behringer has announced the MS-5, their version of Roland’s SH-5 vintage analog synth. Behringer claims the MS-5 is a faithful reproduction of the original SH-5 circuit with a pure analog signal path and it comes with 37 semi-weighted keys with velocity.

The MS-5 comes equipped with two VCOs and LFOs that come with four switchable waveforms each plus modulations pulse width, pitch, rate and delay time. What made the original special was its ring modulator and the MS-5 is no different. With the ring modulator you can create some unique sounding metallic and bell-like tones that add a lot of character to your riffs. The LFO controlled ring mod can be applied to VCOs 1 and 2 or any external source.

The signal mixer has five sliders to adjust noise, VCOs 1 and 2, Ring Modulation and even external signals. And if you want to go even more complex with your sound, the additional band pass filter can be used to adjust frequency, resonance and level throughout a sequence.
