Behringer Syncussion SY-1 Drum Synth is Now Shipping, Priced At $199
Today, Behringer announced that its Syncussion SY-1 – a knockoff of the vintage Pearl Syncussion SY-1 – is now shipping from its factory.
The SY-1 offers two drum synth voices, with six oscillator modes, each with a different character and timbre. You can choose from single oscillator, FM, dual oscillator mix, dynamic oscillator mix, FM/noise mix, and pure noise. Each mode can be shaped by adjusting the tune, decay, and filter cutoff controls. This lets you create a range of ’70s synth drum effects.
The Behringer SY-1 can be triggered by drum pads or sequenced via MIDI or analog gate signals.
