With endless avenues of digital production, virtual instruments, and DAW-based composition, it’s easy to feel a bit of analysis paralysis when faced with so many ways to create, produce, and manage your sounds. Behringer’s Swing controller is designed to provide a flexible suite of powerful recording and performance tools without compromising precious home-studio real estate. Each of its 32 keys detects velocity and aftertouch, giving you plenty of room for expressivity, while individual touch strips for both pitch-bending and modulation offer nuanced control with satisfying tactility. Onboard chord and scale modes are supplemented by an arpeggiator and a 64-step sequencer, the latter of which features eight notes of polyphonic sequencing, and chords can trigger up to 16 simultaneous notes from a single key. Synthesists and producers at Sweetwater appreciate the versatile offering of connectivity options, including micro USB-B for use with your DAW of choice, a 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O to use with additional keyboards, CV jacks for Eurorack, a 3.5-millimeter sync I/O, and even a 1/4-inch footswitch input for additional sustain!
