These MS-1's are plastic just like the cheap range of Behringer pedals. Behringer also make the TC pedals if you want a metal case pedal. Did you have one of plastic pedals break on you?

To the people complaining about no memory, Don't use presets!! Would you pass on a Minimoog or Modular synth because it can't save presets? hell no. New every time, harbors creativity for the mind.

That's a strange argument. Presets ARE mandatory for 95% of all musicians, the other 5% buy products like this.

[@uvoikimovundutrauerblume3302]

@@evankeal Why buying a synthesizer for presets ? A Casio keyboard is a preset thing .

[@jaredelaw]

This mindset works if you don’t play live, or if your songs all use the same synth sound (or if you arrange you set so that the synth sound evolves logically over time), but isn’t realistic for most live players. I typically leave my preset-free synths at home when playing a live show.

[@rdm5190]

Exactly.... Synths of my earlier days were all "memoryless" and inspired creativityin sound designas well as musicianship,the real deal vintage moogs,arps,paia's,rolands,korgs,the dreaded music easel and the loved CS Yamahas,stuff that sends collector's drooling in preset days.....hell my 1st synth was a minikorg 700,then a korg dl50/delta of #2,no presets existed except a pencil&a drawing of all the knobs&sliders&we did fine making them sound damn close to last night's rehearsals patchs,sometimes better depending on the temperature stability of the synths...lol It was as exciting sex on prom night when that polysix came into my life&I could store a preset I liked but I still tryed to create my sounds from scratch on most synths except that damn dx7,I obviously need a PhD in algorithm science to be proficient in programming that monstrosity of numbers and still do to this day... Using a preset is comparable to wearing someone else's underwear out on a date to some people,especially the modular crowd but do work well and are kinda nessasitys if your gigging preforming same sets night after night gigs or have a complicated synth to write programs on but otherwise build your sounds&patches it does inspire creativity and helps you better understand sound design,plus you may just discover something new,unique &special that you've not discovered you can do by noodling around....then when you do,thats the time to save a preset!

Late reply I know, but he had the actual glide setting off for most of the video which bypasses it. You also need to use the accent feature when playing notes for a sequencer for the sequencer to actually have the glide effect. One thing that's a bit meh about it, still great though.

[@wolfgangSvukan]

Audio IN is 3rd audio connector on left side (near Headphones if you looking back panel of the MS1). On front panel there is EXT AUDIO slider to adjust volume of the input signal. Keep in mind that Ext Audio is processed as MS1 oscilator so, to hear it, you need to open filter and envelope too. mediadl.musictribe.com/media/PLM/data/images/products/P0DNG/2000Wx2000H/MS-1-BK_P0DNG_Rear_XL.png

It sounds great on some settings, but I'd rather save up a bit more and get an actual Roland SH-101, which is clearly the better sounding synth as far as I'm concerned. I like Behringer's Neutron, and the Pro-1 seems very good too, but this one didn't hit the mark, I think. Good demo, though.

Really? I've seen many side-by-side comparisons, and they were almost identical. If anything, the Behringer had more range in the sliders.

I have both and the MS1 is much better because of the added midi and FM, as well as the velocity out CV keyboard. I keep both because the sh101 can be battery powered, useful for gigging sometimes.
