Behringer Phara-O Mini Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Behringer Phara-O Mini Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Portability, power, and panache collide with the Behringer Phara-O Mini 3-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. Its 27 touch-sensitive keys, 3.5-millimeter Sync I/O, and 5-pin MIDI input support immense interoperative integration, giving you plenty of ways to play, with even further range to suit your setup and seize the synth sonics of its all-analog signal path. The lowpass filter is based on a legendary 1970s synthesizer, adding historic character to its palette of possibilities. When it comes to playback, the Phara-O Mini is superbly flexible, boasting polyphonic, unison, octave, fifth, ring-unison, and ring-polyphonic voicing. The 16-step motion sequencer - with 10 easily recallable memory slots - augments the instrument's sonic-contouring tools. An onboard ring modulator delivers a menagerie of multimode musicality, from tenacious timbres to menacing and metallic, impressing synth scholars with its size-defying tonal range. LFO and envelope-generated modulation let you imbue your sound with evocative and evolving textures, while the built-in delay grants depth and dimension to any sound. The Phara-O Mini's mobility-minded form factor makes transportation a breeze, and the USB-C port ensures reliable power via computer bus power or a compatible power bank - plus, it even fuels your sounds straight off your smartphone.
