An original intuitive layout of the controls and the patchbay allows the musician to draw on their creativity and dream of endless possibilities. The Neutron is a well-built synthesizer that will capture your imagination.

Features:

- Pure analog signal path based on legendary VCO design to recreate classic sound performance
- Semi-modular architecture with default routings requires no patching for immediate performance
- Oscillator waveform control blends seamlessly between 5 shapes (tone mod, pulse, sawtooth, triangle, sine)
- Individual pulse width / tone mod control provides ultimate sounds
- Paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled
- Self-oscillating, multi-mode VCF with dual output (e.g. LP+HP available on jacks)
- 2 analog ADSR generators for modulation of VCF and VCA
- Multiple stage analog delay based on legendary BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) technology
- Flexible LFO with five waveform shapes, MIDI clock sync and key sync
- Noise generator dramatically expands waveform generation
- Overdrive circuit adds rich analog warmth and edge to your sounds
- 36 controls and 7 buttons give you direct and real time access to all parameters
- Utility functions including attenuators, multiples, slew rate limiter and summers for creative patching flexibility
- 32 in / 24 out jack matrix for an incredible read more amount of patching options
- Patchable audio-rate sample and hold with glide for added creativity
- Powerful headphone output with dedicated level control
- External audio input for processing external sound sources
- Comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation for connection to keyboard/sequencer
- 3-Year Warranty Program
- Designed and engineered in the U.K.elay and Overdrive Circuit in a Eurorack FormatThe only rack system on the market designed to fit offsets and other asymmetrical instruments.

I've had the Neutron for a month now and my enthusiasm for using this synth has not waned in the slightest. This rarely happens to me. It's not even my first semi-modular or modular synth! Behringer absolutely nailed it here. The recreated high-quality 3340 oscillators, the deep growl of the multi-mode Mofatt filter, a digital LFO with an incredibly wide range (barely moving to light speed fast), 2 ADSR, Utilities, analog overdrive, BBD delay, and a huge patchbay! The hype is real folks. It's great for synthesists looking to explore eurorack AND modular aficionados. I have mine sitting in a Rackbrute and the Neutron immediately invited my other eurorack modules in for the Neutron Dance! The 1 negative thing I can say is that the analog delay repeats can bleed through when the signal is "100%" dry. It's almost imperceptible but maybe a firmware update could somehow fix that. However, turning Time & Repeats all the way down gets rid of the bleed completely. Other than that, the delay is a lot of fun. Speaking of FX, the Overdrive is a great feature for getting an acid squeal. The Tone control is helpful for taking off some bass (Or adding it) but careful! The Neutron is very bass heavy. Watch those audio levels.By itself, the Neutron has a wide sound variety but it excels at bass and aggression very easily so it might not be to everyone's taste but it definitely sounds good. The patch bay has great options for patching: osc. wave shape modulation, 2 vcf outs, LFO wave/speed modulation read more & trigger, delay time modulation, slew, mult, 2 sums, 2 attenuators, S&H, unipolar LFO out, invert, and much more i/o. We are in the 2nd age of analog synthesis and it is good. With the release of the Neutron, the bar has raised for affordable, quality synthesizers. Other synth manufacturers should take note: the game has changed and the ball is now in Behringer's possession.
