Introducing Behringer MODEL-15

Introducing Behringer MODEL-15.
The analogue synth with a ladder filter that everybody can afford to climb.
For those who are after the sound of our 55 series but are not quite ready to jump into the Eurorack world, then MODEL-15 is for you.
Housed in our familiar semi-modular format, MODEL-15 is an authentic recreation of the legendary system from the 1970’s.
With a pure analog signal path, MODEL-15 features dual oscillators with 4 waveforms, oscillator sync, pulse-width modulation and a sub-oscillator.
Also fitted with an advance step sequencer allowing for 3 separate, 256-step memory slots, key transpose and multiple playback modes. With the arpeggiator featuring a hold function and multiple playback modes.
MODEL-15 also delivers a spring reverb emulation, 48 carefully positioned patch points for advanced modular connectivity, integration with external equipment and 37 controls giving you real-time access to all important parameters and comprehensive MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and voice priority selection.
As soon as we receive the chips required to put this into production, MODEL-15 will ship immediately.
Estimated Price - $329 USD

Thank you Behringer, will be getting a few of these.

[@Zinfidel1]

Pretty good idea to release your System 55 sound in a desktop synth. Not everyone is into Modular and this Model 15 would be great for touring. Honestly, I really appreciate Behringer's dedication to semi-modular/modular design and poly chaining.

[@vertigev]

+1!

[@PerryCodes]

How does this compare with the Model-D? Just from looks alone, it looks like there is "less" there. Maybe you factor in the modular patching and the situation gets much better... but how do you think these two synths compare?

[@Zinfidel1]

@@PerryCodes Personally, I prefer the sound and modular format of the 55 Series. It's raw and exploratory. On the other hand, the Model B is a good "standard" East Coast synth. It's easy to dial-in sounds. Keyboardists can set-up patches quickly. I had a Model B and it sounds pleasant. Model 15 is between the two. Both desktop synths offer different vintage moog flavors. Both sound excellent.

[@jeremythornton433]

I wouldn’t compare it to a 15, it’s much closer to a Moog Grandmother. I have one and it’s fantastic.

[@ManCalledMif]

Three 256 step sequencers onboard is very good.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Moog has been missing in my studios since I began playing keys in 1967. I have never seen one, much less played one. I am a tradesman and solo pianist who began synth orchestrations as a hobby in the 1980s. Could not justify the high costs of Moog for a monosynth. Now maybe for the first time can have Moog musical sounding oscillators/filter in the studio.

[@kawaiandy2716]

The quality of the oscillators and filters looks good, and the digital spring reverb sounds pretty good. The affordable pricing is also attractive.

[@michaelnervOus]

[@jonkelly5246]

Chill, ol' Behri likes to announce stuff a year ahead of actual release, enjoy your K-2 and get to know it in the meantime. 😎👍

[@adognamedshinji]

A truly polyphonic synthesizer based on this would be insane 😍

[@artao5]

See tho, to do that requires adding another oscillator/filter/LFO PER VOICE. That gets overwhelmingly large very quickly. And expensive to produce in modular format.

[@adognamedshinji]

@@artao5 you're right, that's how polyphonic analog synthesizers work :) but, all that could easily fit into a 4-5 octave chassis. Wouldn't be practical in modular format imo

[@torus6083]

Buy 2, 3, 4 or more units and daisy chain them together and you have polyphony

[@charliewilson7283]

Yea these are supposed to be able to get up to 16 voices daisy chained they originally said

[@Elias_Frost]

Behringer Poly D?

[@bigloxxito]

Ladder Filter are an obsession for me !

[@Jason75913]

I love that Crave filter, I wouldn't mind something bigger and with more oscillators with the same filter, but I have more than enough mono analogues already

It really shouldn't since the whole point of this (and any) musical instrument is the making of music. Who cares what it costs? I am the proud owner of a Moog Grandmother which bares a striking similarity to the 'Model-15' (a complete coincidence, of course ;) ) and I'm stupidly happy about what Behringer's doing. If this sounds anywhere near as good as the GM then there's a whole lot of people about to get really, seriously inspired.

[@gauloiseguy]

Good demo. Instant gear acquisition syndrome.

[@neodym1337]

Was thinking about getting a second Model D, maybe this instead

[@happylittlesynth]

Love your synths! Keep it up... I would ask though, to have the midi input on the rear, instead on the top panel ? (if possible, I assume this is probably due to space constraints?)

it can be taken out of it's case and be put into a eurorack case, so the connections have to be on the front

Behringer should make a real spring reverb unit designed for synths. Simple wish list: ability to go 100% wet for use as a send. Some simple low and high pass filters.
