Behringer 2-XM Duophonic Analog Synthesizer Expander Module

Behringer 2-XM Duophonic Analog Synthesizer Expander Module

Step back into the golden age of analog synthesis with the Behringer 2-XM, a meticulously crafted duophonic analog synthesizer expander module that pays homage to an iconic 1970s design. Inspired by the legendary sounds of Vangelis and Vince Clarke, the 2-XM faithfully recreates the characteristic grit and warmth of a pure-analog signal path, now enhanced for modern workflows.

This powerful module features a dual-module design consolidated into a singular 80HP Eurorack-compatible chassis. With its 4-VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) architecture, the 2-XM delivers versatile and voltaic 2-voice output, capable of everything from massive 4-oscillator Unison leads and thundering basses to incisive arps and searing leads. Its 32 patch-point I/O, divided into two groups of 16 connections, offers detailed control and seamless interoperative use within your setup.

Unleash Dual Analog Power

The 2-XM's core strength lies in its two independent synthesizer expander modules, each powered by a pair of galvanizing, versatile VCOs. Each VCO offers continuously variable waveshaping between sawtooth and pulse-width waveforms, providing immense flexibility for sound design. Syncable per-module VCOs further expand your tonal palette, allowing for dramatic effects, roaring basses, and shimmering arpeggios.

Accompanying the oscillators are a wealth of sound-shaping tools, including two ADS (Attack, Decay, Sustain) envelopes per module, a sine-wave LFO (low-frequency oscillator), and a quartet of multimode-filtering capabilities. The state-variable analog VCFs offer lowpass, highpass, and notch modes, plus a selectable Bandpass mode, ensuring comprehensive sonic sculpting.

Extensive Modulation and Connectivity

Modulation opportunities abound with the 2-XM. Every VCO can be independently modulated via FM (frequency modulation) or PWM (pulse-width modulation), with continuous morphing from pure FM to full-on PWM. Each oscillator hosts a triptych of modulation sources: onboard envelopes, external CV (control voltage), or the per-module LFO. This malleability extends to the VCF frequency, enabling dramatic sweeps and powerful passages.

Designed for seamless integration, the 2-XM is Eurorack-ready with extensive CV and GATE Ins and Outs. It also features 5-pin MIDI In and Thru jacks, alongside a rear-placed, class-compliant USB Type B port for both audio and MIDI. This modern connectivity bridges digital, analog, virtual, and physical realms of sound, making the 2-XM a versatile hub for any studio. Plus, with 16-voice Poly Chain compatibility, you can combine up to eight 2-XM synths for a staggering 32-voice polyphony.
