ENVELOPE SECTION
These faders adjust the VCA if the VCA switch is set
to ENV. In this case, their effect is on the volume
level, and its variation with time.
These faders also adjust the VCF if the VCF's ENV
fader is above minimum. In this case, their effect is
on the cutoff frequency and its variation with time.
The VCO pulse width can also be affected by the
envelope controls, if the switch in the VCO section is
set to ENV.
CONTROLLERS SECTION
The GLIDE knob and on/off switch allow you to adjust
the glide time between different played notes.
In order for the Bender and handle Bender to work,
the nearby VCO and/or VCF bender faders have to
be above minimum. The main Bender will change
the VCO pitch and VCF in both directions, while
the handle Bender wheel will only increase. Both
Benders can be used at the same time.
Press the MOD switch on the end of the handle,
or move the main unit BENDER up, to add LFO
modulation. The modulation effect depends
upon the setting of the LFO MOD fader and other
LFO controls.
ARPEGGIATOR
To use the arpeggiator, press the ARP switch in the
sequencer section:
1. Press it once to play the arpeggiator. (It stops
when notes are released.)
2. Press it twice, or press HOLD and ARP, to hold
the arpeggio. (It continues when notes
are released.)
The arpeggiator rate is set by the TEMPO/GATE
LENGTH knob.
The order in which the arpeggiator notes are played
has 8 options, and this can be changed by pressing
either <KYBD or STEP> when the arpeggiator is
playing. The LOCATION LED shows the current order
1 to 8:
1. UP 1 5. UP 2 (+ 1 Oct)
2. DOWN 1 6. DOWN 2 (+ 1 Oct)
3. DOWN and UP 7. UP 3 (- 1 Oct)
4. RANDOM 8. DOWN 3 (- 1 Oct)
ACCENT
If you are playing the keyboard, the accent is
automatically triggered when the velocity exceeds
the threshold. (This accent velocity threshold can be
adjusted, or this feature disabled, using the Synth
Tool APP).
To use accent while playing, press the ACCENT
switch:
1. Press and hold to play the note with accent
status. (It stops when the switch is released.)
2. Press it twice to play and hold the accent
status. (The LED flashes slowly.)
NOTE PRIORITY
If more than one note is played at the same time,
the note which is played (the note priority) depends
on the setting of the slide switch in the ENVELOPE
section:
GATE+TRIG: the Last note is played
GATE or LFO: the Lowest note is played.
SEQUENCER
The sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps
of notes and rests, and to save them as a pattern. Up
to 64 patterns can be recorded, saved, and recalled
in 8 banks of 8 patterns.
The sequencer has two modes of operation:
KEYBOARD mode, where you can create and store
a pattern, and STEP mode, where you can interact
while composing a pattern.
Details of the Sequencer operation are shown on
page 16 and 36.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
The SynthTool App is available as a free download
from the MS-1 product page of our website:
behringer.com.
The latest file can be downloaded and stored on
your computer, and then used to update the MS-1
if required.
HAVE FUN
The MS-1 has various Gate and CV inputs and
outputs that allow for further experimentation
and expansion to other MS-1 units and modular
synthesizer equipment.
With all these controls, the possibilities for musical
creativity are endless. We hope that you will enjoy
your new MS-1.
