GEOSynths - Synth Show Reviews - Behringer MS-101 Monosynth

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here's my Review of the Behringer MS-101 Monosynth. This is a fantastic recreation of the classic SH101 and MC-202 Synth Engine, but with some great extras, such as the Sequencer and FM.

    I've just tried mine out and first impression is this is unbelievable. Not sure how close it is to the real thing but it sounds very close to me, but I've had it beside the Roland plugout and whereas I cant get the plugout to sit in a mix properly, this just works whatever you play without any effort. It's a fantastic as a bass machine or acid machine and the bass doesn't hog the mix whatsoever. Not getting the same from any plugin I've tried so far. Also the build quality is excellent, it has a weight that to it and doesn't feel cheap and the keyboard feels good and sliders smooth. Worth every penny.

    It's actually better than the original SH101. Why? Because the inline pots on the SH101 were every inaccurate. It was a chore recalling knob settings to dial into a sound. The inaccuracy or variance on the original SH101 was min. 20%. It was never intended to be a pro studio synth, rather it was designed to be played as a guitar with the screw on handle. A 40+ yr old SH101 would require an overhaul, if it had 20% variance at new imagine its accuracy almost 1/2 century later ! Behringer's re-creations at the price point being offered is really commendable ! Only issue is their supply chain mgmt to vendors is not consistent.

The midi implementation is limited, just note on/off, so you can't record parameter changes, and the synthtribe supplied software is good, but the sequencer section is not good, on the fly sequencer arrangements would be useful. Apart from that, very happy with it. It's as identical to an sh101 as possible.

    Thank you for your expertise in this review. Fantastic to see a reviewer of synths that can play a keyboard as well as sound design. I have listened to your videos on selling your design patches for specific synths and you certainly are a stellar designer. Unfortunately I am sound designer too, and not interested in presets, so I won't be purchasing your patches :( But have subscribed and watch your valuable videos and live-casts. Been using Sonic State for almost a decade now for information, but am now thinking you may be the number ONE source for reviews now. You should grow fast with the quality content and lots of reviews. If I may...one suggestion; At the beginning of a review, the first item on my list is architecture, a spoken and/or written list. Example for this video; analog monophonic full sized keys capable of transmitting poly MIDI and no poly or mono aftertouch, one oscillator with mixer controlled 4 wave forms plus noise, 24db LP ladder? filter with one LFO and one ADSR envelope shared or switched for amp and filter, no effects and a sequencer. ....and then go onto connectivity as you did.

    Thanks for this review Jamie ! A couple of questions: I've noticed that your spectrum analyzer software shows tapering off harmonics content around 16 kHz, is that due to the sampling frequency used by the software or is the MS-101 really bandwidth limited ? And whatever was wrong with it when it broke down shortly after you bought it, and how was it fixed, if I may ask (I know you mentioned something vague about a specific chip inside that had problems, in your last live stream) ?

  • @GEOSynths

    Hi...Well, 16 KHZ is very high and probably at the upper limit of my Hearing at my age and pretty good for Synths, so not sure what you mean by limited. The Firmware has fixed all the issues and added some features, so is all good now.

As for bandwidth, my hearing also doesn't go quite that high anymore, sadly, but young people could probably hear the difference between a full 20-20kHz frequency range and a 16kHz "low pass filtered" one (or as it's sometimes called, an anti-aliasing filter in digital audio devices). The Minimoog can generate harmonics in the 37kHz range. I know it's kind of useless to humans, but my cat seems to react to it... ;-)

    Yeah, that seq looks like hard work. Ok if you used it every day, and didn’t have a bunch of other different sequencers to remember (volca, beatstep pro, micro freak, sq1...). Then it gets tricky! Especially if - like me - you only get the chance to play about once or twice a week or so. If you’re not careful you spend half your “playtime” trying to look up or remember how to do specific functions, or even hoŵ to save the pattern! That’s why half of the time I just end up using the arpeggiators :) synth does sound excellent though. Used to have an original years ago, and have the system 1M plug out pretty much permanently loaded up on that synth, rarely using the main engine.....so maybe I should bite the bullet and get the “real (cloned) thing”. Kinda want the CAT too.....and am hanging out for the 2600 too. It never ends! (Plus I run Matttech Modular Eurorack store, so I’ve got a ton of modules at my disposal, along with a huge personal system. It’s madness to start buying these behringers as well, it really is.....but still!

    It all depends on what you want from a synth. Do you want a variety of sounds and presets that fit many genres? Do you want something that will help you learn about synthesis and engineer sounds from the ground up? This synth is wonderful for learning synthesis. Every feature has a dedicated knob or slider, so you can learn how manipulating certain variables affects the sound. This is also a clone of a very popular 1980s synth, the Roland SH101. The Mininova is focused more on delivering a variety of sounds and a little less hands-on. You also have the digital vs analog aspect, but honestly, don't get too caught up in that argument for your first synth. Once you really dive in and get your hands dirty, you can figure out what you really want from a synth. So do tons and tons of research, and remember there is never a bad decision (unless you get scammed into buying a broken machine). These are all my opinions. Good luck!

    I own the Minitaur and know the SH-101,very difficult suggest one instead the other..just put on the scale what you need and what you don t need..example: the Behringer MS costs the 30% less and give to you a keyboard,Fm,effects and more waveform to play with ..the Minitaur gives to you the Moog sound,more solid 'case'(it is built like a little tank),more portability(but you need an external keyboard and effect).Another thing to consider is the kind of music you are gonna do...My personal opinion ,i think the MS-101 is more funny to play with than Minitaur and considering the price it is a real deal.The Minitaur is very expensive for what it does.. and the Moog Sirin is a just Minitaur with few octaves higher and double price?! If you can spend more i would go to the Sub Phatty .Cheers

    So torn on this one. I really like the SH-101 and this is such a steal at this price. And it does sound pretty good. But every video I've seen of it being used as a sequencer sounds absolutely nothing like a 101. It's not just that it "doesn't quite nail the sound", it flat out seems completely different. Like a grizzly, bassy, pilled-out and half-asleep 101 crossed with a 303, maybe... But since your focus was primarily on how it fares as a standard monosynth, let me ask this - how does the keybed feel? And how's the filter sound when the resonance is pushed up into slightly squealy territory? Can it do more than the gritty, grizzly bassy sound?

    get the MS101 mk2, it got a redesigned BA662 chip from coolaudio which gives a better VCA and VCF performance closer to the original. Roland had to measure out each chip and match them with the rest of each SH101, for each and every SH101 leaving the factory. This probably means that there are not 2 SH101 which sounds really identical.

    @Robert Syrett Agreed - to me (and I suspect many many others), the SH-101's beauty lies NOT its oscillator, filter, envelope, weird LFO implementation, or any other standard monosynth components. As much as I adore tickling some ivories, to simply play the SH-101 like a keyboard feels like it's completely missing the point of this instrument. The sequencer is really the star of the 101 show. In fact, its sequence creation mechanism was so intuitive and straightforward that it was copied by bazillions of synths over the years. And once the sequence is created, being able to transpose on the fly and of course manipulate the timbre as it plays! Making a 101 clone with a completely different sequencing workflow is like making a "Model D clone" with a bandpass filter instead of a lowpass ladder, or a "Juno clone" with a bitcrushed distortion effect instead of a chorus, or an "808 clone" with a sample of a gong instead of a synthesized kick drum. Even if every other element is perfect, you'd have completely failed in your objective of making a remotely passable clone of an iconic device.
