FRENCH FINESSE MEETS MODERN MODULARITY
Drawing on the original designs of its spiritual ancestor, Behringer ‘s Kobol Expander expertly recreates the enchantment of its all-analog waveform-morphing architecture, resulting in a highly versatile semi-modular synth with a 1970s-style character. Its seven waveforms are continually morphable, using a pair of VCOs to elicit a range of duophonic sound-shaping options, from sawtooth to PWM, each of which may be tweaked or manipulated independently.
The onboard VCF features a 4-pole architecture that has been praised for its naturally saturating quality, making it ideal for sculpting both onboard synth sounds and external audio. An analog LFO spans two waveform options with a wealth of destination choices, allowing for delicate tone building that is immediately amplified by the oscillator sync or the noise generator, resulting in mammoth-sized synth sonics.
FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL
Behringer’s Kobol Expander comes with a versatile set of connectivity options, including dedicated 5-pin DIN MIDI ports for input and output, a USB-B port, numerous audio outputs, and a Poly Chain, which allows you to connect up to 16 units for simultaneous use and 16-voice polyphony.
Synthesizers particularly appreciate its emphasis on modularity, which has 32 patch points and a Eurorack-compatible design that allows you to remove the module for usage with other Eurorack systems. Regardless of how you play, the Kobol Expander is precision-engineered for massive interoperative potential.
