Behringer Syncussion SY-1 Analog Percussion Synthesizer

Capture the iconic percussion sounds that defined legendary tracks by Prince, Kraftwerk, and Herbie Hancock with the Behringer SYNCUSSION SY-1. This faithful recreation of the classic dual analog percussion synthesizer from the ‘70s brings those coveted vintage tones within reach of modern producers and musicians without the premium price tag of original hardware.

The SY-1 provides six distinct oscillator modes, each offering unique character and sonic possibilities. From single oscillator and FM synthesis to dual oscillator mixing, dynamic oscillator combinations, FM/noise blends, and pure noise generation, this versatile unit covers extensive percussive territory. Shape your sounds precisely using the intuitive tune, decay, and filter cutoff controls to craft everything from thunderous kicks and crisp snares to metallic percussion and futuristic sound effects.

Dynamic movement capabilities set the SY-1 apart from basic drum machines. The built-in pitch sweep function creates dramatic pitch dives and rises with adjustable speed, range, and directional controls – perfect for special effects and seamless transitions. An integrated LFO offering both square and triangle waveforms can modulate either pitch or filter parameters, adding distinctive vibrato effects to your percussion palette.

Integration with your existing setup is straightforward, as the SY-1 responds to triggers from drum pads, drum machines like the Behringer RD-8, or any external trigger source, making it a flexible addition to both studio and live performance rigs.
