Behringer Analog Portamento Controller

Behringer Analog Portamento Controller

Modular Synthesis
The 80s was the golden age of electronic music. Synthesizers were at their prime and almost every hit song and movie soundtrack at that time had a synth in one form or another. Modular synths have become more and more popular with professionals and enthusiasts over the years and they’re about to get even better.

SYSTEM 100 297 DUAL PORTAMENTO/CV UTILITIES
This is the Behringer System 100 297 DUAL PORTAMENTO/CV UTILITIES Module. A portamento and mixer combo and authentic reproduction of the original “System 100M” circuitry from the 80s that can fit in a standard Eurorack case. The best part? It’s at a very affordable price! Mix the 297 in with your existing rig or start your modular synth journey from here. Either way you’re sure to have a lot of fun.

Mix Them All
The 297 features two independent mixers for CV signals. These come with four inputs, each with their own attenuators, where you can connect incoming signals from various different sources. The CV mixers also allow you to send mixes of inputs 1-4 in inverted and non-inverted versions for extra versatility.

Portamento
The portamento sections of the 297 each come with a Time control that can be used to adjust the portamento time of a signal connected via input. The signal can then be sent to any module in your setup for more modulation. An external Control Voltage signal can also be plugged in to control the portamento time.

Eurorack Ready
Installing the 297 DUAL PORTAMENTO/CV UTILITIES 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 297 DUAL PORTAMENTO/CV UTILITIES to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.
