This video is about the Behringer Module 112, the Dual VCO from the System 100 series. This module represents the initial sound source in subtractive synthesis with the System 100. I go through the layout, discuss the in- and outputs and a few details about the different waveforms.
0:00 intro
0:57 VCO output
1:31 I say "control" a thousand times (also sth. about PWM)
2:26 waveforms
5:11 octave & pitch controls
6:07 pitch cv inputs
6:26 VCO sync
8:54 additional output trick
10:06 layout, quality & operation
11:36 demo #1: weak sync & phase shifter play together
13:03 demo #2: more weak sync sounds
14:42 demo #3: sequenced
15:11 demo #4: sync out in the mix & random s&h pwm
Software scope: www.zeitnitz.eu/Scope_en
Thanks for watching & see you next time!

The 110 all in one VCO/VCF/VCA module or the 112 dual VCO, that is the question!

I have two 112s and really enjoy them. But I didn't know about the square wave coming out of the sync... thanks for the tip! Makes perfect sense in retrospect.

@11:38 that sounds really good, I've got about a dozen or so behrigner modules including the Moog seq and most of the Arp modules, I have not had a single issue with any of them, knock on wood.

Thanks for your video, I really liked your demos. They gave me a good idea of how good these VCOs can sound.

Decent? I've recently added this module to my system and I love it, I'm very impressed with this module, I'd call it impressive

well, I cycled through "impressive", "awesome", "fat", etc... somehow I stopped at decent. But you're right, impressive it is!

I forgot to add a scope to visualize the mixed waveforms from the sync output trick (8:55). Here is this section with scope: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esd-pMiXlaelnIU.html

Very nice! I had an original Roland 100m system back in the day. Resisting the temptation to recreate it - although now much, much more affordable - nostalgia ain't what it used to be 😀

@synthesizer83 2 жыл бұрын

If you spot something that was different with the original (or something I got wrong), just leave a comment! I already found some bugs (not in the 112 actually), so I suspect that B. didn't thoroughly tested the circuits.

@IanWaugh 2 жыл бұрын

@@synthesizer83 That seems to be par for the course for B 😀 It's too long ago for me to recall details but Tim Shoebridge covered some modules and one thing which sticks is that the sequencer has no Range function and seems to be set to 10 octaves! (The original had 3 Range settings.) That would mean the knob will have 120 (or is that 130) steps to it so good luck trying to tune it to a particular note 😱

@synthesizer83 2 жыл бұрын

@@IanWaugh Yep thats true, that switch is missing and tuning is impossible unless you attenuate your cv before it goes onto a pitch or so. Good thing though with the System 100 is that all modules have cv mixers with attenuators, so the range problem is not too serious.

@IanWaugh 2 жыл бұрын

@@synthesizer83Yes, the 100m was well-designed I think, and there are always work-arounds in modular 😀 But a really odd faux pas by B. At least set it to 5 octaves. At best, put a jumper on the board. Just weird.

Very nice review. Thank you very much. This system 100 from B. seems to be a nice piece of music tech. I am a little tempted to dive into this system although I am still overwelmed with my already acquired eurorack modules.

Same situation here, some time ago. But once you acquired another rack with some hp to fill, the modules keep coming and the bank account continues its thrilling downhill ride.

Great video. I’d recommend this module for any eurorack user as a way to get 2 great sounding analog VCOs for a great price. The entire system 100 series is fantastic and I actually prefer these to the Moog and style modules.

Two very decent VCOs at a very reasonable price. My series 100 ASDR was faulty, but this has been trouble-free…

I have heard issues with tracking and tunning with the 112. Have you had to adjust any trimmers on your unit? Also I have heard the green colored pcb versions are 'more stable' in this regard? Any thoughts?

@synthesizer83 2 жыл бұрын

I have no issues with the oscillator (yellow pcb), the tracking is fine and it doesn't really drift. Holds for the 110 synth voice as well. I have read somewhere that Behringer fixed the tracking and stability issues in the current version of the 112 module.

What is the difference between output 1 and 2?

@synthesizer83 Жыл бұрын

There isn't any. It's just a handy feature as you don't need a multiple if you want that OSC at two destinations.

@BrancoArgenta Жыл бұрын

how does it go to cv and gate?

@synthesizer83 Жыл бұрын

Cv is as you would expect, with 3 inputs for 1V/octave. A gate does not really have its destination here, you would rather use it to trigger envelopes or similar.

of ourse it sounds impressive, its a roland ripoff lol. I own a behringer sequencer too, so iam not against behringer per se but they just steal stuff and resell it so nothing to praise here

Everything to praise here. They make it affordable. Roland could do it but they don't do fuck them
