BehringerKOBOL EXPANDER Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer

Behringer KOBOL EXPANDER

Behringer's Kobol Expander is a desktop analog semimodular synth that delivers the lush and smooth sounds of its rare French monophonic predecessor, now in a compact and accessible package. Like the so-called French Minimoog that inspired it, the Kobol Expander offers authentic vintage monophonic synth tones with a distinct character that sets it apart from its American counterpart. With two independent oscillators each with continuously sweepable waveshape controls, you can create a diverse range of timbres to provide a flexible foundation for sound design.

Sculpt these tones with the ultra-smooth 4-pole low pass filter, which offers slight saturation to enhance any sound. Explore further complex timbres with the oscillator sync and noise generator, and get these sounds moving with nuance and depth using the multiple LFOs and envelopes at your disposal. As a semimodular synth, you can easily rock out with the Kobol Expander without any patch cables, or dive deep into designing sounds with the 32 Eurorack compatible patch points. Comprehensive MIDI control gives this vintage legend a modern touch of studio convenience, while the Poly Chain functionality lets you combine up to 16 units for massively rich polyphonic playing. Explore what the rich and flexible sound of this rare French design can bring to your music with the Behringer Kobol Expander.
