Behringer AKS VC3 3 Overview

Add the mojo of a vintage analog polyphonic synthesizer with the Behringer AKS MINI, a faithful representation of the original EMS Synthi AKS, used by Pink Floyd on Dark Side of the Moon and by Brian Eno for his most adventurous work. The instrument offers a faithful reproduction of the original AKS VCO and VCF circuitry from the '70s.

Three separate oscillators with variable saw and square waveforms feed the legendary AKS filter, with the pure analog signal path preserved end to end. The 27 touch-sensitive keys are surprisingly playable for an instrument this size, while the two-axis joystick provides you with intuitive performance control over any two parameters you assign. Other notable features include the realistic digital spring reverb, a 16-step motion sequencer with 10 memory slots that record knob movements and lets you build evolving patches that play themselves. USB Type-C powering and a sync connector make it studio-ready and gig-portable in equal measure.
