The Essentials to Know About the BEHRINGER SPICE Synthesizer
The Essentials to Know About the BEHRINGER SPICE Synthesizer
- Semi-modular analog synthesizer with pure audio path (VCO, VCF, VCA) and pre-configured routings to play immediately, with or without cables.
- 2 VCOs (square and sawtooth) enriched by 4 sub-oscillators per VCO for massive layering and six-voice pseudo-polyphony.
- Dual 4-step polyrhythmic sequencer to create evolving grooves and complex patterns live or in the studio.
- 16x16 patch matrix and 57 physical controls: direct, expressive, and ultra-fast access to synthesis.

A Semi-Modular Designed to Break New Ground
The BEHRINGER SPICE positions itself as an analog synthesizer focused on performance and experimentation: it combines the immediacy of a default routing instrument with the freedom of a semi-modular environment. Its patch matrix and front panel controls encourage the creation of variations, modulations, and polyrhythms without slowing the creative flow, making it a natural choice for modern setups, from studio to live.
For Which Musicians and Uses
The SPICE targets experienced musicians (and motivated curious users) who want an expressive analog synthesizer capable of thick textures, solid basses, and original rhythmic sequences. It is particularly comfortable in techno, electro, ambient, synthwave, and sound design. Live, its "hands-on" approach facilitates transitions, build-ups, and breaks, while in the studio it becomes a source of atypical rhythmic and harmonic elements.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Behringer Spice polyphonic?
The pseudo-polyphony is based on 2 VCOs and their 4 sub-oscillators, reaching 6 distinct sound sources. This architecture allows for wide unisons and dense pads.
What type of sequencer is equipped on this synth?
A dual 4-step polyrhythmic sequencer allows the creation of staggered cycles and complex rhythmic patterns. Clock sources and tempo are synchronizable.
Can the Spice be used without patch cables?
Default internal connections allow playing immediately without patching. The 16 x 16 matrix then opens semi-modular routings for modulations and sound variations.
What MIDI connectivity is available?
MIDI/USB connectivity enables integration with a DAW or hardware sequencer, with MIDI channel selection and voice priority.
What analog filter is integrated?
Filtering uses a 24 dB/oct resonant ladder multi-mode circuit. Cutoff, resonance, and envelope settings shape the sound spectrum. The VCF envelope includes attack, decay, and envelope amount.
