Add legendary mojo to your tracks with the Behringer Model D, a recreation of the original Moog Minimoog synthesizer with authentic circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs. The instrument sports an all-analog triple VCO, VCF, and VCA signal path for larger-than-life bass and lead tones. The three VCOs can be blended with an external input and a noise source (white and pink), while the classic Moog ladder filter can be switched between low-pass and high-pass, providing the highly coveted sound with cutoff and emphasis (resonance) controls.
There are CV and gate inputs and outputs for interfacing with any external Eurorack gear. Up to 16 units can be polychained allowing for up to 16-voice polyphony. Easily create super-fat bass and lead tones, stunning effects, progressive organ sounds, far-out otherworldly, or the sounds of your imagination. The Model D is Eurorack compatible and can be removed from its desktop case and fitted into a standard Eurorack case (not included). A 12 VDC power adapter is included.

True to Original
Great care has been taken in designing the Model D, including true-to-the-original Model D–type circuitry, with its matched transistors and JFETs, ultrahigh precision 0.1% thin-film resistors, and polyphenylene-sulphide capacitors. This highly focused attention to detail is what gives the Model D its ultraflexible soundshaping capability, which includes superfat bass and lead tones, stunning effects, progressive organ sounds, otherworldly sounds, and the sounds of your imagination.
Big Fat Tones
The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and '80s are etched in the annals of progressive rock, wave, and synth-pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. Model D's pure analog signal path with legendary VCO, VCF and VCA circuits, lets you recreate all of that magic. Or, design incredibly fat and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right.
VCO Triple Play
- Model D’s 3 highly flexible voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) provide an incredible range of 5 waveforms for sculpting the perfect sound.
- Oscillators 1 and 2 allow you to select from the following waveforms: triangular; triangular/saw; saw; square; wide pulse; and narrow pulse, while OSC 3 features: triangular; reverse saw; saw; square; wide pulse; and narrow pulse.
- Additionally, all 3 VCOs can be adjusted across an extremely wide, 6-octave range (Low, 32, 16, 8, 4, and 2'). This amazing flexibility gives you all the tools you need to be your creative best.
24 dB Ladder Filter and VCA
- The very heart of Model D’s sound is its highly flexible 24 dB Ladder Filter, which lets you freely experiment with the Cutoff Frequency, Emphasis, and Contour to dial in the perfect sound.
- Model D’s Filter Mode switch can be set to either low- or high-pass for selecting the range of your choice. You can also adjust the Attack, Decay, and Sustain controls to affect the cutoff frequency with time.
- The VCA Decay switch lets you set the length of time the note lingers after the key has been released. Additionally, support for filter keytracking allows you to select how much filtering is applied based on the note being played. And if you want to add modulation, just set the Filter Modulation switch to the On position, and use the controller's Mod Mix knob to make it so.
- The VCA can even be overloaded via Model D’s feedback circuit to add insane spice and edge to your sounds without saying goodbye to your precious low-end content.
Making Waves
- You are always in complete control of MODEL D’s onboard modulators, which features: adjustable Tune; Mod Depth; LFO Rate; Glide (portamento); and Mod Mix knobs.
- A range of switches is provided for selecting between: triangle or square wave oscillation; modulation On or Off; OSC 3 or Filter EG (Filter Envelope); and Noise (Mod SRC) or LFO.
- The Tune knob is used to adjust the frequency of OSC 1, 2 and 3 (as long as the OSC 3 switch is turned off).
- The internal Noise generator, which is switchable between either Pink or White noise for dramatically expanded waveform generation, is the default modulation source, unless an external Mod Source is connected at the 3.5mm input jack.
16-Note Poly Chain Ready
While it is a monophonic instrument (one note at a time), Model D's 16-note Poly Chain function lets you combine multiple synthesizers for up to 16-voice polyphony. Plus, it provides vastly improved reliability and stability over its 1970s and '80s predecessors.
Semi-Modular Design
Designed around an intuitively linear workflow, MODEL D benefits greatly from its semi-modular design, which requires no patching for immediate performance. Just connect your favorite keyboard or computer via MIDI over DIN or USB, and start exploring the world of analog music synthesis right out of the box.
Eurorack Ready
Designed to handle the rigors of life on the road or in the studio, your Model D can easily be transferred into a standard Eurorack case for the perfect integration into your existing system.
