MS-101 Live Performance Tricks and the 'plastic?' question.

Here we cover some of the live performance options of the MS-101 and the big question, does it sound plastic :) ?? Big thank you to Molten Modular, DivKid and Noire Et Blanc Vie, we like to have a bit of fun at Behringer all in good jest, check out their channels on youtube for some great synth talk videos:

I love what you guys are doing with the affordable analog remakes. Definitely some of the best gear out there.

[@MichaalHell]

Honestly, this is the first time I’ve really like the 101 sound. Damn good video!

[@sirnigelcogs]

I like this style of video. It's professional, but also friendly.

[@rhiannonstudios]

Im buying every analogue synth clone that behringer puts out, really appreciate the quality and fair pricing, keep em coming 👍🏻

[@Jamesjimjimmy]

Hahahaha good luck

[@Psychlist1972]

Sounds fantastic. I love the things you've added to the SH-101 base. I have a blue SH-101 I absolutely love, but have ordered a black MS-101 for all the extras. Can't wait!

[@helge666]

I'm so buying this one once a non-red version becomes available! The SH-101 was my very first synth back when it could still be bought in the stores, and as far as I can tell from all the videos, the MS-101 captures the sound.

[@gnarlysoundscapes7210]

I would describe the SH/MS-101 sound as dreamy or cloud-like. Like if I was making a soundtrack for a relaxing video of flying through clouds, the MS-101 would be the perfect synth for the job. That filter is just so soft and fluffy.

[@cooperofnavarone8616]

Squarepusher used to use a sh101 and he released an album called "go plastic"!

I will probably be purchasing soon. Great product guys! 👍

Cool! Still waiting for some RD-808 and Pro-1 announcements though.

agreed, Pro-1 most awating) but until i'm using Repro1:D

[@NatLifeSounds]

@@pthelo yeas, Repro is need more than other U-He's products, but what i can say - i used 33 Repro1/5 synths in one project with a Core i5 7600K and it was a peak. Almost no any additional fx's - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJbToXevoZh1jKc

Sounds like 1981!! One of my most favorite years;). I love the sound so much I ordered one tonight;) I say a bowed sound on a Bass!!

[@micksinclair4608]

Got mine on Monday!! love it just what i wanted sound wise, have used my friends sh101 on loan a few time and dont feel as if they cut any corners, build quality is excellent too.. we' ll see if a have mine in years to come.. If u want a 101 get it... 10/10..

[@mikesmee]

That is awesome!....Had an SH-101 and really regret selling it, ordered my MS-101 the other day arrives in 2 days time, can't wait! x

pretty warm sounding, i like it

Wicked machine, picked one up a few months back been well happy with it, Absolutely rocking when you use a few fx pedals, Nice one Behringer looking forward to the monoPoly 👍🏻

Looking forward to add the MS-101 to my studio

[@Jameselcome_303]

great thanks

[@marcomanke8649]

Great Vid - like the Synth from Behringer. It makes this Company cool 😎

[@jaketamusic6476]

@Behringer Sounds pretty copper red to me!!! Lol.. I had to say it. Yolo. Hahaha. Love that seq. What the hay was is. It seem like it was only a single arp note on you opened the filter I'd imagine and it changed the arp to a full on seventh chord. Was that the arp setting how you can change with the eight steps ?? Man I need to spend some more time today and get more acquainted with the seqs. Thanks for the humor, my day seemed bumming when I woke up and remembered I lost or misplace my 505 .. and I for the first time in a long time, wanted to criticize myself. All I know is, it will turn up. I love the handle of the device overall. What a blast, I would like to understand that lfo rate and how to modulate more basses.. I find myself breaking into sh 101 tuts to discover more of it's capabilities.. and maybe a how to...on how it jumps octaves when enabled to take modulation from the lfo. I guess Im figuring out synthesis lil by lol thanks to this bad boiiii ( I was very confused when the arps would play at another Otv half way thru two bars....) I was like I broke it. I guess that's called the crossover? Perhaps? Thanks again.

[@RyRoc]

Sounds amazing!!! What's that TC Electronic effects unit you're using? I don't feel like I need another mono synth (although I do plan to get the Crave whenever it arrives) but this may have convinced me to add another synth to my building Behringer collection (px2000, numerous pedals, Neutron, and Deepmind 12d).

[@behringer]

Thanks Ryan :) that's really good to hear. TC effects were the DVR250 reverb, TC2290 Delay (was used as flanger only), TC1210 Expander. P.S your collection sounds sweet!

[@blakecasimir]

Love the interface, but I really wish that was an all-hardware recreation rather than merely a controler. (Clever though it is!)Also I wish that Behringer were to put out a companion synth to the Crave that is 6-voice Juno-ish poly in a similar form factor with sequencing (modular I care less for...)

[@RyRoc]

@@blakecasimir a controller?

[@RyRoc]

@@blakecasimir oh you mean the effects? Agreed.

[@DApatcheddna]

Nice sound!

[@miguelhijarmusic]

I think it’s plucky and I love it. I pair it with a chorus pedal to add even more life to it-especially nice when using it for long, eerie, linear melodies.

[@TheEdwin73]

its a very cool synth, but it would be nice if i could set the "key-priority" to "last" instead of "lower" as it is now in the software for it...in the K2 synth you can do those settings. because with the ms-1, if you play legato, and upwards, there is no sound, until you let go of the lower key, before the next one upwards, and that is a bit weird... if you go downwards there is no problem, thats why its in "lower-note-key-priority" instead of the usual "last-key-priority".

[@ruhrpott7436]

Great!

[@sonicamusic8367]

Molten Modular its an amazing source of knowledge. I saw he buys for himself one of these MS-101.

[@AlbaEcstasy]

"Life in plastic is fantastic, uh huh!"

[@EliahHoliday]

Would really love to hear a rendition of Voodoo Ray since Behringer does the 808 and 101. Also maybe an acid demo.

[@jasonhalliday72]

Is there a way to "sync" the arp to the clock - every time I play a new chord it jumps ahead based on if my timing is off. Shouldn't I be able to press the keys down early and just have the arp change on the next tick instead of as soon as I press the key?

[@jirathzambrano2886]

hello friend amazing video I have a question, what is the difference between the behringer ms-101 and the ms-1-bk or are they the same, is that I see that in some behringer it comes out like this greetings from Mexico.🤘🏼😁

[@jupitermarx]

Hey can I connect to my Roland SH-01 boutique for additional voice?

[@sulojohannes]

So, can you prorgram it to do slides with the sequencer or are you limited to manually twiddling with the portamento?

[@joshwizinsky1979]

I just got one of these for Christmas, it hasnt made it home yet, but how long is the power cable for using it as a Keytar? I havent seen anyone comment on the power cable legnth

[@headsandhearts]

Got a blue one on preorder. Hopefully the date stays late April for release

[@elliotdavidson7137]

like this style of review! hahaha

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Ones description of a sound is obvsiously subjective and also personal. However there is always a danger of a bandwagon term being over used /misunderstood. Bottom line is , you guys have done a fantastic job over the last few year with your instruments. Wish you had been in the synth game earlier truth be told.

[@caktalfraktal]

The sh-101 and now the MS-1 have the best sounding VCO and Filter of all time in my opinion. Of course I want it to have more features like separate pitch; filter; and amp envelopes but regardless; it sounds amazing.

[@testohtoby]

that's a nice synth but I'm waiting for the UBxa or the JuBiter :3

[@troypol343]

I like JuBiter better than Bupiter that some want to call it.

[@testohtoby]

@YveZ Vlog There's already an Uranus synth

[@nessmalone]

Oh man i want an MS-101

[@beckysynth9699]

If you put a CV trigger in with not every step triggered, and put it in LFO mode, and hold down one key, will it repeat the note to the beat of the trigger like the original SH101 does?

[@jrlx86]

@Behringer could you please add the ability to extend the amount of steps to 128 in the sequencer?

[@mishaalekseev8709]

Tell as about stopping the sequencer starting when playback starts in DAW, how do we do this?!!!!

[@SanplerVarondaro]

[@gabepierce5617]

what is the effects gear you're using?

[@madmac66]

Sounds great. I love it. Plastic? Rubber? Maybe, it’s not brittle like a Vox AC30 (sorry guitar reference can’t think of a brittle synth off the top of my head) and it’s not really thick, phat or nasty like an OBX. So plastic kinda falls somewhere in the middle I’d say. My Micromonsta or the Blofeld I’d say are creamy, but that’s neither here nor there

[@doom705]

Juicy!

[@piercemcintyre1327]

Can you do live ratchet, mute, and accent with other synths that have this sequencer like the Crave?

[@MrFox.1995]

I récord mine and it has like a pink noise I dont know how to get rid of it it a not really loud, but comparing with this one this really sound quiet mine doesn't

[@FurfreeGaming]

Warm, Phat, and Juicy!!!!!!! :D

[@MichaalHell]

Can you activate ratcheting and the other functions via midi cc? Cause that would really cool to pair with an elektron sequencer.

[@behringer]

Currently you can't, but we will inform the engineering team of your request and it may find itself on a future firmware update. We appreciate the feedback and suggestion :)

[@deepnlow808]

[@moneydoctor]

What are the main differences of the MS-1 and MS-101?

[@lukeygee123abc2]

Hey! Does anyone know if there's a way to quantize the triggering of another saved sequence whilst playing a previous one? That is, whilst you're playing one sequence, are you able to then choose another one that will play after the final step of the previous pattern has finished, instead of immediately when you trigger the pattern? The above description is how the TD-3 works and I wonder if there is a mode to do the same thing on the MS-101. This is with the intention of choosing between different patterns during live performance. Thanks!

[@jonmaddison]

Would be great if there was an option for this. I have the Crave which has the same sequencer and performance features, and I had the same question for that synth.

[@Psychlist1972]

I would say "rubbery" not "plasticky" (and I see you've mentioned that) I know what they were getting at, though. It's a really hard thing to describe.

[@johnk6312]

I see the sequencer transposes without having to hold down that bloody transpose button which is a great move.

"sag" is the word they couldn't find. It's a wonderful thing. Guitar amps sag. It's a pleasant effect.

[@flourfree2K]

Reminds me heavily from Jarre's Popcorn, which could be described as polymeric sound I guess.

Is the glide analogue or digital?

[@mikecaulfield6200]

What was the effects unit?

[@user-JM1967]

Was Behringer Ms-101 discontinued?

[@zoundsic]

Rubber is more dense and absorbing, it's more a tub or container so could be a plastic one of those.

[@rennified]

Hey guys, this is a really cool demo of the Plastique little growler. Love the vibe and sound! Just a quick quez to not get confused. The ‘kick’ sound when it’s running the arpeggio is not part of its sound right? Really look forward to playing it some time soon! Cheers!

[@behringer]

Thanks Rene, we really appreciate it. To clarify the Kick is not part of the MS-101 sound, we just put it in to add a subtle groove to the demo. It was from Cubase Groove Agent.

[@tsuobachi]

Plastic is brittle and hard, not at all a good description of the 101 sound. Rubbery is the perfect way to describe it because rubber has a bit of grip to it and gives a bit and is bouncy--the exact aspects of the 101 sound that makes it ideal for dance music and keeping the energy up with short amp envelope settings.
