Description
The Behringer GRIND is a compact desktop semi-modular hybrid synthesizer that fuses a deep bank of digital oscillator engines with a genuine analog signal path, delivering a remarkable range of sound for its size. With 24 digital oscillator engines spanning virtual analog, wavetable, FM, granular, waveshaping and physical-modeling synthesis, GRIND can move from classic subtractive leads and basses to evolving textures, metallic tones and gritty percussion in seconds, making it a true jack-of-all-trades instrument for producers, sound designers and live performers.
Much of GRIND's character comes from its multi-engine oscillator section, which includes synth engines derived from Mutable Instruments' acclaimed Plaits, dedicated percussion and noise engines, and extended voices such as a Yamaha DX7-style FM engine and a Roland TR-303 / TD-3 bassline emulation. A warm analog 24 dB ladder filter with switchable low-pass and high-pass modes, a fully analog LFO and an oscillator morph control give you the hands-on, organic shaping that digital-only synths can't match, so every patch can be dialed in and performed in real time.
Built for both standalone music-making and modular integration, GRIND pairs a 22 x 12 I/O patch matrix with 50 real-time controls, a 32-step sequencer and a multimode arpeggiator. Eurorack-compatible patch points let it slot into a modular rig, while 5-pin MIDI, USB and Poly-Chain support connect it to your DAW, controllers and other synths. Affordable, portable and endlessly patchable, the Behringer GRIND is an ideal centerpiece or sound source for any electronic studio or stage setup.
