The Crave features an authentic analog circuit based on the original VCO, VCF, and VCA designs and is capable of emulating the sound of many legendary artists, including Dr. Dre, Radiohead, John Carpenter, and Michael Jackson.
Features
- 3340 voltage-controlled oscillator
- Classic 24dB ladder filter and envelope generator
- Extensive patchbay
- 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator
The heart of the Behringer Crave is the 3340 voltage-controlled oscillator. This powerful oscillator provides two waveforms: pulse or reverse-sawtooth, which can be edited using the Shape switch and the tuning control. The classic-style 24dB ladder filter and envelope generator allow you to sculpt and shape your sounds with precision. The filter mode switch allows you to toggle between Lo or Hi-pass settings, and the onboard envelope generator allows you to change the overall shape of your sound.
Included with the Behringer Crave Synthesizer is a Decksaver Behringer Crave Cover. This custom-moulded cover is designed to protect the synthesizer from dust, liquid, particulates, and accidental impact damage. The cover features an ultra-durable polycarbonate shell and accommodates cables, while still allowing you to see your gear through the smoked/clear sheen.
