Behringer Legendary 2500 1005 Modamp Ring Modulator and VCA Module for Eurorack

The first 2500 series synth modules came out in the 70s and tended to be extremely expensive. They were mainly all discrete transistor designs with some op-amps as at the time op-amps were high cost. The discrete circuitry gave the modules a very distinctive sound and were used by artists like The Who, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk and so many more, giving us some of the greatest records and film soundtracks we've ever heard. Modular synths were a landmark development in electronic music and today, it's about to get better.Modamp Module 1005This is the Behringer 2500 series Modamp Module 1005. An authentic reproduction of the original "System 2500" circuitry from the 70's that can fit in a standard Eurorack case. The best part? It's at a very affordable price. Mix the Modamp Module 1005 in with your existing rig or start your modular synth journey from here. Either way you're sure to have a lot of fun.Make it RingThe Modamp Module 1005 is a feature rich ring modulator to create metallic and bell-like sounds as well as many other modulation effects, modulation can be applied to any signals such as a signal from VCO's or LFO's via the INA and IN B jacks and is fed out via the VCA output. The 1005 features INA and INB attenuators, an UNMOD gain control lets you set the gain when in UNMOD mode, a VCA with gain control and a choice of exponential or linear response, Ratio and tune controls allow you to control and balance the frequency of 2 external VCO's for convenience. The illuminated UNMOD and MOD switches disable or enable modulation effectsIns and OutsThe 1005 gives you comprehensive connectivity, Inputs A and B for the modulator inputs where signal A is modulated by signal B, CVA and CVB connect to your VCO's frequency CV inputs for remote control, CV IN to control the VCA level from another module. The GATE, MOD and UNMOD jacks give you a choice of remote control of the UNMOD (Modulation disabled) and MOD (Modulation enabled) switches and finally the VCA OUT provides the unmodulated or modulated signal output allowing the VCA to be used independently when in UNMOD mode.Eurorack ReadyInstalling the Modamp Module 1005 is easy as it is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and screw in the module using the included screws. This allows for the 1005 to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.Modamp Module 1005Whether you're just getting into modular synths or looking to complete your collection, the Modamp Module 1005 from Behringer is a great tool to have when creating amazing music.
