Behringer Crave Analog Semi-Modular Desktop Synthesizer

Step into the legendary sounds that defined the 1980s and ’90s music scene with the CRAVE, an ultra-affordable homage to the iconic Prophet-5 synthesiser that powered hits from Michael Jackson, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Radiohead and film-maker John Carpenter. This remarkable instrument captures the essence of that groundbreaking era whilst adding modern conveniences like a 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator, making it your personal time machine for both recreating classic tones and crafting future sounds.

At the core of the CRAVE lies authentic analog circuitry featuring the legendary 3340 VCO with pulse and sawtooth wave outputs, complemented by a classic Moog-style 24 dB ladder filter that gives you complete control over cutoff frequency, resonance and modulation. The semi-modular architecture means you can start creating incredible sounds immediately without any patching, whilst the 18 x 14 I/O matrix provides vast flexibility for more adventurous sonic exploration. From super-fat bass lines and soaring leads to otherworldly textures, the CRAVE’s pure analog signal path and 47 dedicated controls put every parameter at your fingertips.

The onboard sequencer stores up to 64 patterns across 8 banks, allowing you to program complex 32-step sequences in either Keyboard or Step mode, whilst the advanced arpeggiator features 8 patterns that bring your chord progressions to life. With comprehensive MIDI implementation, 16-voice Poly Chain capability for connecting multiple units, and an external audio input for processing other sound sources, the CRAVE offers professional functionality in a compact, British-engineered package that’s ready to become your go-to creative companion.
