Modular Synthesis

The first SYSTEM 55, 35 and 15 synth modules came out in the early '70s and tended to be extremely expensive. They were mainly all discrete transistor designs as op-amps at the time were very high cost. The discrete circuitry gave the modules a very distinctive sound and were used by artists like Keith Emerson, Stevie Wonder, Tangerine Dream and so many more, giving us some of the greatest records we’ve ever heard. Modular synths were a landmark development in electronic music and today, it’s about to get better. 

SYSTEM 15

We’re bringing back all those amazing modular synths that you’ve all come to know and love and we’re putting them in one neat package that’ll surely blow you away. Enter the Behringer SYSTEM 15. This is a pre-assembled “System 15” modular synthesizer that comes packed with 16 of our vintage sounding synth modules, mounted and fully powered in the super-sturdy EURORACK GO case. It even comes with some extra space for another one of our favorite things… more modules! 

A Great Way to Start

The SYSTEM 15 is an amazing tool for those who are just starting down the psychedelic, neon-bathed road of modular synthesis. This whole setup comes equipped with a 921A OSCILLATOR DRIVERS, two 921B VCOs and a 921 VCO all of which provide three fully featured voices that you can adjust and tweak any way you want! The CP3A-M MIXER module allows you to mix up to four inputs which you can then patch out to other modules. Want a nice pad to your song? Have one signal go to a delay module and have another go into a step sequencer or other modules in the SYSTEM 15 for more intricate patches and hours and hours of fun! The SYSTEM 15 also includes the CP35 ATTENUATOR module with 4 linked attenuators and two sets of 4 multiples and reference voltages. Connecting a single signal to the CP35’s first input will allow it to pass to all 4 outputs. This allows you to have up to 4 variable outputs of a single signal source. Also included are two banks of 4-point multiple circuits for you to be able to route multiple copies of input signals to other modules. 

Time to Flex

Adding even more flexibility to the SYSTEM 15, the 961 INTERFACE module converts V-trig to S-trig and vice versa and can even convert any audio source you plug in to a V-trig to drive other modules in your setup. You can further shape and control a signal’s timbre and resonance with the 914 FIXED FILTER BANK which features 12 active bandpass filters ranging from 125 Hz to 5.6 kHz with additional Low Pass and High Pass filters. 

There’s More!

The SYSTEM 15 also comes with a 904B VOLTAGE CONTROLLED HIGH PASS FILTER and 904A VOLTAGE CONTROLLED LOW PASS FILTER, two 902 VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIERS, two 911 ENVELOPE GENERATORS and a CM1A MIDI-to-CV converter so you can control the SYSTEM 15 with a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW, to truly round out this rig. We’ve even included a few blank panels in case you want to expand the SYSTEM 15 with even more modules! You don’t even have to worry about power as the included EURORACK GO case comes with its own PSU.
