Behringer AKS Mini Synthesizer

Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer with 3 VCOs Featuring Variable Waveforms, Classic VCF, 2-Axis Joystick, Reverb and 16-Step Motion Sequencer

Features

Portable analog polyphonic and programmable synthesizer
Pure analog signal path based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs
27 touch-sensitive keys for great playability
3 separate oscillators with variable saw and square waveforms
2-axis joystick serves as intuitive performance controller
Realistic digital spring reverb for inspiring sound effects
16-step motion sequencer with 10 memory slots and recording of knob movements
Extensive play modes featuring poly and unison
LFO with 4 waveforms for pitch and filter cutoff modulation
Envelope generator to modulate VCA and VCF
USB Type C allows powering via smartphone, power bank or computer
Sync connector to synchronize with your other synthesizers or drum machines
Comprehensive MIDI implementation (including NRPN/CC control of all parameters and bulk load/save)

The original EMS Synthi AKS was a briefcase legend — the synth Pink Floyd used on "Dark Side of the Moon" and that Brian Eno relied on for his most adventurous work. The AKS MINI distils that legacy into a portable polyphonic analog synthesizer with programmable patches, a 16-step motion sequencer and a faithful reproduction of the original AKS VCO and VCF circuitry from the '70s.

Three separate oscillators with variable saw and square waveforms feed the legendary AKS filter, with the pure analog signal path preserved end to end. The 27 touch-sensitive keys are surprisingly playable for an instrument this size, and the two-axis joystick — faithful to the original — gives you intuitive performance control over any two parameters you assign.

The realistic digital spring reverb adds inspiring depth without taking up panel real estate. The 16-step motion sequencer with 10 memory slots records knob movements, letting you build evolving patches that play themselves. Extensive play modes (poly and unison) cover everything from chord work to massive unison leads, and full MIDI implementation including NRPN/CC control means the AKS MINI integrates with any modern setup. USB Type-C powering and a sync connector make it studio-ready and gig-portable in equal measure.

Keyboard Type: Touch Sensitive

Touch Sensitive is a key technology that allows digital keyboard instruments to respond to the force of the stroke, i.e. the dynamics of playing. The harder you press, the louder the sound.

Aftertouch: Yes

Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.

Polyphony: 3

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.

LFO: Yes

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.

Envelope: Yes

The Envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of the sound. This filter provides greater flexibility in adjusting and customizing sound characteristics, enhancing the overall quality and expressiveness of the performance.

Oscillators: Yes

A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.

Sequencer: Yes

The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.

Arpeggiator: Yes

The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

Inputs

MIDI IN
Synch Jack 3,5 mm TS

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.
