4. Einrichtung

4.1 Physische Verbindungen

Before connecting any cables, ensure the synthesizer and all connected devices are powered off.

1. Audioausgang: Connect the main audio output of the MS-5 to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using a standard 1/4-inch TS cable.
2. Kopfhörer: For private monitoring, connect headphones to the dedicated headphone jack.
3. USB-Verbindung: Connect the MS-5 to your computer using the supplied USB cable for MIDI communication and potential firmware updates.
4. Externer Eingang: If using an external audio source, connect it to the external input jack.
5. Leistung: Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the rear panel of the MS-5, then plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet.

4.2 Ein-/Ausschalten

After all connections are made, press the POWER button located on the rear panel to turn the unit on. To power off, press the POWER button again. Always power off the unit before disconnecting cables.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

The Behringer MS-5 features a classic analog signal path with dedicated sections for sound generation and modulation. Familiarize yourself with the control layout for effective sound design.

5.1 Oscillators (VCO-1 & VCO-2)

The MS-5 is equipped with two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) that generate the primary sound. Each VCO offers selectable waveforms and pitch control.

• Wellenformen: Select between Triangle, Ramp, Square, and Pulse waveforms. The Pulse Width control allows for dynamic timbre changes on the Square/Pulse wave.
• Tonhöhe: Adjust the pitch of each VCO independently.
• Synchronisieren: Synchronize VCO-2 to VCO-1 for harmonic rich sounds.

5.2 Voltage Kontrollierter Filter (VCF)

The VCF shapes the tonal characteristics of the sound. The MS-5 features a versatile 4-pole/1-pole VCF.

• Frequenz: Controls the cutoff point of the filter.
• Resonanz: Emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff point, creating a "wah" effect at higher settings.
• Envelope Modulation: The VCF can be modulated by the ADSR envelope for dynamic filter sweeps.

5.3 Envelopes (AR & ADSR)

Two envelopes are available to control the amplitude (VCA) and filter (VCF) over time.

• AR Envelope: Attack and Release controls for simpler amplitude shaping.
• ADSR-Umschlag: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release controls for more complex amplitude and filter modulation.

5.4 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO-1 & LFO-2)

The two LFOs provide modulation sources for various parameters, adding movement and expression to your sounds.

• Rate: Passt die Geschwindigkeit des LFO an.
• Wellenformen: Selectable waveshapes for different modulation characteristics.
• Reiseziele: LFOs can be routed to modulate pitch, filter cutoff, and pulse width.

5.5 Mixer, Ring Mod, and Noise Generator

• Mischer: Blends the levels of VCO-1, VCO-2, Ring Mod, and Noise Generator before they enter the VCF.
• Ring Mod: Multiplies the frequencies of two input signals (VCO-1 and VCO-2) to create metallic, inharmonic tones.
• Geräuschgenerator: Adds white noise for percussive sounds, wind effects, or to thicken existing patches.

5.6 USB-Konnektivität

The USB port allows the MS-5 to function as a MIDI controller and receive MIDI data from a computer or other MIDI devices. This enables integration with Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) for sequencing and automation.

5.7 Externer Eingang

The external input allows you to process external audio signals through the MS-5's filter and VCA sections, expanding its utility beyond internal sound generation.

6. Wartung

6.1 Reinigung

To clean the synthesizer, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp Man kann ein Tuch verwenden und anschließend mit einem trockenen Tuch nachwischen.

6.2 Speicherung

When not in use for extended periods, store the MS-5 in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using a dust cover to protect the keys and controls.
