Watch: First Video Demo of MS-20 Clone, Behringer K-2

In this short video from Heinakroon Overlays & Accessories we get the chance to listen to the latest synthesizer from the Behringer labs, the K-2. A clone (and improvement?) on the Korg MS-20, the Behringer K-2 looks set to be released around the €299 mark and brings eurorack compatability to this beast. 

Unfortunately, we don't get a chance to listen to the K-2 dry without reverb and delay units added. While this makes for an atmospheric sound it doesn't help to judge the sound of the synth on its own merits. Plus, we suspect either the hardware effects or the recording device is adding noise to the recording, not the K-2 itself.

The video does show off the filters a little inside the 2 minutes. Think of this as more of a tempting taster than an in-depth demo!

Now the K-2 is out in the wild expect more demos to start popping up on YouTube. Better still, wait for an in-depth video review of the Behringer K-2 here at Ask.Audio coming in a few weeks once we're able to get hands on with a unit.
