Groovy tune 😎 🎹 and this synthesizer sounds phenomenal

Suggestion, make it stand-alone with a 52hp ALM case. That's what I did, as I am using it for more than just eurorack sequencing.

I wish that this and the Pro VS had voice options for switching between mono and poly 👍

Im pretty excited about this. Lack of midi input on the jt-4000 made it pretty much useless (to me at least). Cant wait to try out the MIDI Goblin on the jt-4000m

Can you modulate the cutoff and resonance with the LFO on this little synth? Can CC modulate them?

no midi no purchase rule works

I like your accent its good

Too late, too expensive, too little improvement. Better saving this money or investing on a Volca or Aira. At least those can be purchased immediately at a reasonable price and are real quality, not like Behringer 2nd quality cheapos. As an example think at those loose joystics on the Pro Vs Mini. Lack of development, production and/or QC. Or remember Grind which is a magnificent, but non existent product. This is how I see Behringer products and brand.

Is there any CV out on this module? I haven't seen much CV output patching points

My k2 mk2 is currently getting CV from Ableton's CV tools via expert sleepers ES3 (through adat) : envelope to cutoff lpf , LFO/shaper to Total mod, LFO /sahper 2 to PWM , and finally audio from softube modular osc modules (rubycon, plaits, doepfer , ... ) : it works very nicely. The resulting audio goes back to ableton into overdrive and reverbs . I'd like to buy a real envelope module though because i need the hands-on experience that a mouse or a controller doesn't provide.

I think they will end up making a powered case for it

You can find a bit more extensive manual at the Behringer homepage. Great review - thanks!

Great info and talk through, sounding good :)

I have no idea as have not connected up yet still in box, however am curious with the TRIG SW GND square button on the right side of the unit, mine does not lock in place like a switch, it behaves like a spring, I assume it is supposed to be a "trigger" like on a gun that doesn't lock like a switch does or is mine defective?

Powerful set up!

Those clickbait titles, i thought there is a firmware update already.

How do you like the accent function? Too bad for the device if it stays that way.

Any ideas about the bottom left pins? Are they just for debug/serial port? Maybe there is room for mods and hacks if there are some labels on the back side of the pcb. Otherwise a multimeter can be useful to find out more about them

The ESP is the coolest feature of the MS20, had one in the 1990s and main thing i did was plug Drummachines in and let it make weird noises. Bought a K2 just because of it.

I've got a Mk1 K-2. With a soldering iron, one can mod it to become a mk2.

this is very good

Thanks for demoing this. I can't wait for mine to be here!

Oh hell yeah. Damn. This has had my attention for a while. Kick ass jam! Oh yeah. It's on. Dayum. The search is on..... Damn good!! Tear it up.

Behringer has acknowledged the filter problem, which should be fixed on later shipments. Mine is coming in November IF the Longshoreman's strike ends quickly. If not, all synth gear will be held up at the docks.

I'm not into modular, but I might be persuaded to put the K2 into a rack with my Moog Mavis and other rackable gear.

Merci beaucoup pour ce partage ! ! ! ! ! ! !

🦾👽Suuuper cool and really powerful synth modul setup! 🚀

Did you make a video in which i can watch you browse websites about that product ?

really interesting demo. Some of the sounds reminded me of Star Wars crossed with an Atari 2600! I really can see the appeal of this set up but I know I would never getting any music making done if I got into modular Saying that I am still keeping an eye on Thomann for the next batch to come in and will get the MK2 when available. On it's own it still has enough of a broad palette of features to keep one interested for a long time. Would be great to hear it with a simple drum loop and multi tracked. Cheers.

I can not go modular I'll loose weeks from just messing around 😂

I get it tomorrow. Better situation here in germany

They've also just updated the MkI firmware to v1.1.14 to fix these issues. Dunno, if I should shell out for the MkII, I've heard the filter's improved slightly, but I dunno by how much?

Ahh... so if it's slaved to another device, the sequencer and arp malfunctions. 🤔 Since many of us would be using their MS-1 synced to a groovebox or DAW, this takes a lot of steam out of the MS-1. I was thinking about getting this. Good to know... bad to experience. It might not be a deal breaker if one externally sequences the MS-1 from another device that serves as it's 'brain'... like an MPC or a Polyend Play. Kinda like how I use the MPC to sequence my Cre8audio East Beast, Behringer Edge, and Volca NuBass... actually, these days.. I externally sequence most of my synths from the MPC One... largely because it serves as the best 'song-mode'. Has anyone attempted to sequence the MS-1 externally? If so... are there any issues with the playback?

It appears to be in stock at Thomann currently.

Does the K2 Mk2 react to pitchbend over midi? Could you check it out on yours? Thanks.

I wonder why Behringer did this...?

I think I've managed to work out what circumstances cause the symptoms described in the video... Within Ableton Live, if I untick all Input Ports: Track / Sync / Remote then it appears you can use other forms of external sync with the ARP - such as Midi USB

If the usb is plugged in then set the sync to usb, same for all my other synths that aren't even behringer

You do know analog synths change their behavior with temperature, right? You should tune them warm and use them warm.

Thank you for doing these videos. Super helpful in my journey of sound design.

extremely helpful video! thank you!

I compared beginning, middle and end of this audio test. I hear at most, a very minor fade, hardly noticeable. However, I'm not likely to use the synth this way--cranking the resonance continuously for 30 minutes to an hour. At most I would use that setting on the filter for 10-20 minutes in a recording, and usually less. So I don't see this as a problem.

I would love to hear your sound demo of the K2 MK2 in your next video. I have one on order from Alto Music NY--should be here sometime in November.

I love my K-2 mk1. Even if some people claim it doesn't sound 100% the same as an MS-20, it's still a great sounding analog synth. The new features of the mk2 are really cool, but I'm not going to upgrade for now.

Those who like to talk s^^t about Behringer are the same who spend thousands on gear that does exactly the same, or in some cases, less.

I picked up a used Behringer k2 mark 1 because i like vintage gear. It has off an white ink printed panel too.

I've had two Korg MS20's over the years since 1980 and both had a cheap build quality, keyboards were awful. I had the Behringer MK1 K2 when it first came out and thought it was great but struggled with the physical small size. I'm very tempted to try again with a K2MK2 as I do have a soft spot for the MS20...

Regarding quality....consider that Roland TB 303 is made like a toy...its plastic...far worse quality then MOST Behringer synths really.

What is the real difference between MK1 and MK2?

Im just amazed at how crap it is.
