Introducing K2 MK II

[@timburlingame5893]

Fixing the voltage to standard was the best call. That puts it back on my list.

[@squoblat]

This one will definitely make up for my utter lack of talent, just like the next one will.

[@alexsmart5452]

Same, My Pro-800 with lots of effects is how I get away with sounding good(ish). Or lots of distortion, reverb/chorus on my guitar sounds great and hides the fact I just know two power chords. You cant even tell when I miss one or two of the strings. If you cant make it as a "modern" musician now a days it because you are trying to hard.

[@rivitheadlab2523]

That’s a brilliant update!

[@nocastus]

Ooh. Ooh. I was never interested in the K2, because I have an OG Korg MS20. But a mk2 that’s an an enhanced MS20? Take my money. The oscillator sync sounds amazing. This idea of a clone building on and extending the potential of the original is something I love.

[@andrewsmith9440]

As do I. I used the official korg software for a while before getting the official analog mini. Still kicking myself in the ass for not getting the official kit that came out. This one has all those added features and I really would like to add it to my collection

[@RulgertGhostalker]

with the addition of PWM and OSC Sync, yeah.

[@juicythedj750]

​@@RulgertGhostalkerthese features were already present in the MS-20m. Behringer should've done their homework and included them right from the start 😉

I liked mine so much, later I bought a second so I could run lead and bass, or stereo with a bit of variation. I can't tell you how much use I get, or how much I love the sound. Looks as if I'm buying a sort of third module. Well done.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

[@juicythedj750]

These are some welcome additions! However, it's already out there in the wild and I'm seeing various reports about the filter resonance dropping off quite a bit after an hour of use. It's only happening in the mk1 filter mode.

[@fakshen1973]

That's why I'm never in a hurry to be the first kid on my block to have one.

[@juicythedj750]

​@@fakshen1973 yes it's a shame! I was holding off from the first version of the K2 because I always wanted the mods as found on Korg's MS-20m. Great to see them coming to the K2 MK2... Hopefully they can fix the filter.

[@stateazure]

[@Tutorius]

Will the new version replace the old one and ne sold at a comparable price-niveau, or will there be two versions residing side by side? A very good video, showing the possiblities of this synth. Need to have a look at a video of the old one to compare both...

[@juanocordoba]

Go all the way and make the mkiii with 3 osc 2lfos and and extra bandpass filter

[@davidseaward9359]

What? “Extra BPF? not only do the LPF + HPF = BPF already, if u wanted additional BPF (can’t think of why), you could run signal thru external input and use the hi cut & low cut to achieve this. But I still cannot imagine why you’d want to. Also a 3rd oscillator would be a departure from the classic Ms-20 design, and u can already add a 3rd osc if u want via the ESP input, u can get a standalone oscillator (eurorack module), feed it CV/gate from K2, and route ESP to “EXT IN”. I use my Roland jx8p for a third oscillator

I might trade this for my MS-20 mini. Love the new features! Just why is that midi input on the front panel? That's like putting the filter frequency on the back. Wait... it is on the back!... Just kidding. With the midi socket on the back i'd order it right away. Now i have to check if it can be modified. Any news on the vcs3 clone by the way?

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

There's always a midi input on the back (as well as the front) with this format. The reason one is added to the front is for people who want to rack it in their Eurorack cases, for that you have to have a midi connection on the front.

[@UseYourBrain930]

@@EricBlair-jg2ux Nope, there's just a midi thru on the back. No DIN midi in.

is it possible to update the MK1 with v/oct and v-trigger or is that a hardware problem?

[@zerstaerker]

Especially when it comes to re-issues of such classics like the MS-20, I'd prefer a rather as-simple-as-it-gets monolithic, full-sized keyboard version but that's personal preference. To me the uncompromising clunkiness adds a lot of the charme.

[@Batman15778]

[@EdwinDekker71]

Behringer, please make a stand alone MIDI to CV (gate, 1v/oct, modwheel, velocity, some extra cc). Please.

[@reedsutter8485]

I want a pitch-to-cv converter that can “translate” both cv protocols so Korgs and Yamahas can play with Moogs and the like. I’ve been hoping this revision might have that sort of utility. I might get my hands on one to experiment.

[@Twinkz0r665]

Sorry but I can make the same sounds with the Behringer Monopoly, is this machine rly necessary?

[@pappysheart6710]

Are Behringer synths like this one actually fully analog? Like if you took it apart there'd be tons of wires in it and not just a cpu. If so I wonder why digital synths cost so much in comparison. Digital may have more features, but they soukd be cheaper to make,right?

[@Fractalite]

Yes its fully analog. And none of the knobs send or receive Midi just like the original.

[@zorglub76]

Digital are much more expensive to make, because you need a team of hardware developers and a team of software developers. Also, developing code takes more than adapting existing hardware schematics.

[@ZosKia-ge7rb]

If the Neutron is anything to go by, the LFOs are digital, so that they can be synced to MIDI. Apart from that, I believe everything else is analogue.

[@turbochargedfilms]

Are you confusing analog circuitry with discreet circuitry by chance? I've taken apart a few analog Behringer synths (including the og K2) and you'll neither find "tons of wires" nor a CPU/MCU for DSP; you'll find analog circuitry built using relatively modern ICs and modern fab processes, from modern component footprints to everything being PCB mounted. Digital hardware synths need to include not just the main CPU/brain, but a good bit of peripheral circuitry and components for things like the DAC, ADC if applicable (like for CV ins for example), power regulation, as well as having analog signal paths for I/O anyway. All of that adds up in the BoM, EDA and PCBA stages, and thats not even mentionong having teams write the actual firmware and everything that will actually give life to that digital husk. Making a digital hardware synth is a very, very, VERY different cost and effort proposition compared to, say, making a software VST synth.

[@turbochargedfilms]

​@@ZosKia-ge7rb Big B loves being weird like that... The TD3's sequencer is digital, the EG on the Crave is analog but with a digitally controlled parameter (so moving the knobs for the env actually switches between digitally programmed values for the analog env), and I'm sure even the K2 has a small MCU somewhere for handling MIDI, USB and such digital protocols.
