Behringer Spice Analogue Semi-Modular Polyrhythmic Synth

Bring electrifying energy to your music setup with the Behringer SPICE, a polyrhythmic synthesizer designed to add heat and complexity to any performance. Capable of generating intricate and mind-bending sequences, SPICE is the perfect tool for crafting captivating grooves and rhythms that will leave audiences spellbound.

At its core, SPICE features two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) with square and sawtooth waveforms, complemented by two sub-harmonic oscillators for additional depth. A built-in mixer lets you control the levels of the main VCO and sub-oscillators, enabling rich, layered pseudo-polyphonic sounds. With a 24 dB ladder filter, VCA, and VCF Envelope sections, SPICE offers endless possibilities for sound sculpting and creative exploration.

The dual 4-step sequencers in SPICE are driven by four polyrhythm generators, allowing for the creation of uniquely complex rhythmic patterns. Despite the intricate math behind the scenes, the intuitive interface ensures that setting tempos—manually or via an external clock—is straightforward, so users can focus on crafting extraordinary polyrhythms.

SPICE’s semi-modular design allows for plug-and-play performance without requiring patch cables, while its flexible architecture opens up endless sonic dimensions when paired with Eurorack synths and modules. Whether used as a standalone unit or integrated into a larger modular system, SPICE is ready to deliver bold and inspiring sounds right out of the box.
