The first SYSTEM 55, 35 and 15 synth modules came out in the early 70s and tended to be extremely expensive. They were mainly all discrete transistor designs as op-amps at the time were very high cost. The discrete circuitry gave the modules a very distinctive sound and were used by artists like Keith Emerson, Stevie Wonder, Tangerine Dream and so many more, giving us some of the greatest records we’ve ever heard. Modular synths were a landmark development in electronic music and today, it’s about to get better.
Enter the Behringer CM1A Module. A high-resolution 16-Bit MIDI to CV Converter that allows you to control any modular synth in your setup with a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW to open up an infinite number of ways to make some amazing tunes and a whole realm of sonic possibilities. Plus, its 16-Bit Texas Instruments DAC ensures the highest resolution sound quality and pitch accuracy.
By integrating the CM1A into your setup, you can now control your synths in a multitude of ways. Connect your computer to the USB port on the CM1A and control your CV and Trig outputs via a DAW. The CM1A can even receive firmware updates through this connection. Want to use your MIDI controller instead? Plug it in to the MIDI In with your other devices to the MIDI Thru port and transmit signals by playing as you would.
The CM1A comes equipped with dual trigger outputs that can be used to control any of your favorite envelope generators. You can even switch between V-trig, S-trig or both types of outputs simultaneously via the Trig Mode Switch.
Installing the CM1A is simple as it was designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. This allows for the CM1A to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.
