Behringer 2-XM Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Behringer 2-XM is an analog polyphonic synthesizer designed for studio production and modular synthesis environments. It enables dual-voice sound generation with extensive voltage control for musicians and sound designers, supporting polyphonic, split, and unison workflows. This makes it ideal for creative setups where flexible analog synthesis and integration are critical.

The synthesizer operates with a fully analog signal path built around multiple oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. Voices can be configured independently or combined, with routing handled through onboard controls and an integrated patchbay. MIDI and USB connections allow external control and synchronization.

This design supports complex sound creation, modulation routing, and external signal processing. It can be used as a standalone instrument or integrated into a Eurorack system. The unit provides extensive control access for real-time sound shaping.

Key Features

• Dual Voice Architecture: Two independent analog voices for polyphonic split or unison operation
• Analog Signal Path: Fully analog VCO VCF and VCA design based on classic circuitry
• Multi Mode Filters: Two filters with low pass high pass band pass and notch modes
• Extensive Modulation: Multiple envelopes LFOs and CV routing options
• Integrated Patchbay: Large CV and gate input output matrix for modular interaction
• >Eurorack Compatible Design: Main module transferable to a standard Eurorack case
