The final announcement from Behringer at Superbooth 2018 is a clone of another classic Roland synthesizer, the SH-101. In this video you can see and hear the Behringer MS-101 in action.  

It feels like Behringer's quest for world synthesizer domination was already well under way with the Model D, 808, Pro-One and ARP Odyssey clones (as well as their own DeepMind and Neutron of course). Well, this is perhaps the final announcement from the German music instrument company at Superbooth18... their recreation of the Roland SH-101: Meet the Behringer MS-101.

Our friends at Synth Anatomy caught up with Behringer to find out more about the MS-101 and hear it in action. Here's their video and the spec and details below.

This is crazy. Superbooth 2018 was waaay better than NAMM 2018. And Behringer is a big part of that excitement.
