Behringer MS-1 MKII Now Available With Updated Firmware
Behringer has announced the availability of the MS-1 MKII, an updated version of their Roland SH-101 knockoff that they say is ‘vastly improved’ over the original Behringer MS-1.
The Behringer MS-1 MKII – originally announced last year – uses cloned 662 chips, to get closer to the original’s sound, and they’ve also updated the firmware to address some problems with the original MS-1’s implementation.
New in Behringer MS-1 mkII 1.0.6:
- Transpose Fix – The Arp playback now follows the original implementation, making your music creation smoother and more intuitive.
- Portamento Improvements – Whether you’re using Arp, Sequencer, or just playing around with different modes (off/auto/on), Portamento is now more responsive, with better scaling for smoother control and playback. Plus, the start time has been refined for even better performance.
- Random LFO Upgrade – You can now clock the Random LFO from external source
For details see the Behringer website.
The Behringer MS-1 MKII is available now with a street price of about $260 on Amazon site.
