Got rid of my SH101 and bought this. Very happy! No useless battery compartment means smaller footprint, lots of external integration options via CV, USB, MIDI. Sequencer, Arp, FM, audio in processing. And all components new so not expecting a capacitor to check out on me that's been in there for four decades. And it cost $350 USD. Sound? It is just like my sh101. What's not to love???!!
Having owned a sh101 in the late 80s to early 90s, and now owning the ms101 I can safely say the ms101 rocks. Improved sequencer, midi, usb, and the fm mod this is not only as GOOD as the original, it is BETTER.
@@godot5082 agreed, sequencer is better in every way except that, no way to chain patterns together, which the original sh101 had, it seems like something that could be fixed in firmware but still hasn't happened, I doubt it ever will unfortunately
@@jamesangusmusic if your looking to sequence in real time then a daws fine. If however you want to use step time for short sequences and then change the key of the sequences live at a gig, by simply hitting keys on the synth changing the root note and therefore the sequence for say short arpeggios that you can’t get with the onboard arpedgiator then use the onboard sequencer. Great for all types of dance music, and phychadellic/space rock type stuff.
Your playing in the intro is incredible - quite amazing. Plus, it answered the question as to whether it could get a nice, "traditional" if you will, lead tone ala Chick Corea. So Thanks You so much for the video. You are very, very talented and this is the best MS-101/MS-1 video out there now!
Great review. At first I thought you were off your meds but I like the way you worked methodically through the features without becoming the teacher droning on about the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act; you just let the funky riffs do the explaining.
Yeah, that guy who used to do some kind of paid work for Moog really gets around. I have seen the nearly the same comments on multiple websites under multiple names. As long as Moog continues to make great products, there will be plenty of sales for both MOOG and BEHRINGER. I think the Behringer D was fair game since the circuit for the MINIMOOG is now 49 years old and Behringer upgraded it with a patch bay.
Give Jack some speakers that never tweak out when he brings his full on, in the raw, bottom end! Jack is not a sweaty guitar player. He needs equipment to handle the throbbing frequencies overflowing from the seams and brim of his bulging metaphorical musical trousers.
I always wanted a 101…I won couple bids on eBay … and the guys pulled out cause I got them for cheap… but now what can I say … thank you behringer and thank you Anderton ✌🏽❤️
Jack, you're an absolute star mate, don't ever change... and a great version of this synth from Behringer (I'm still gonna wait for the black model though) :D
Was never a fan of the original SH and doubt I would ever buy the MS-101...mainly because I am more a pads and samples sort of geezer BUT....Behringer have done a fantastic job with this. People can hate on it all they want, it doesn't change the fact that it is a very good SH clone and in some ways even better than the original. Now that the patents are dropping on many classic keyboards I am certain we will see a lot of great new/old products coming from Behringer in the not too distant future.
How can you not like the sound of an sh101? It's been used on a lot of classic techno, house, ebm and electro records. This one to me doesn't sound the same.
@@jackmasterdick You do realise that there is a vast swathe of the worlds population that are not and never have been into techno, house, ebm etc? If it doesn't sound the same to you that's fine. Not trying to convince anyone. It just sounds the same as the original to me.
What;s the difference between this red Behringer MS-101 and the MS-1 in 3 different colours red / blue / black that are all on the website? ... The red MS-1 has a 30 August 2019 delivery date but the MS-101 is in stock on the website as of 7 August. ... There was an original SH101 in a local music store back in 1986-87 for about £110. I didn't buy it! I did get a Pro-One from that shop for £160 though. It's broken now!
Does it have a tune knob like the original SH-101? (I don't think you explored that option ;) ) Its awesome that Behringer have produced this and I'm keen to try one out. Im a big fan of Rolands SH-101. Im assuming this is monophonic like the original. Great to see the addition of MIDI too .
I read somewhere that the MS 101 is lacking bass, according to the opinion from a user. What do you think about this statement? I would like to believe is not true, cause I ordered it mainly for bass sound purpose. Thanks
Hey! Does anyone know if there's a way to quantize the triggering of another saved sequence whilst playing a previous one? That is, whilst you're playing one sequence, are you able to then choose another one that will play after the final step of the previous pattern has finished, instead of immediately when you trigger the pattern? The above description is how the TD-3 works and I wonder if there is a mode to do the same thing on the MS-101. This is with the intention of choosing between different patterns during live performance. Thanks!
I know man, been waiting for well over a year. But I'm glad they delayed the release until they were ready. But then 2 years ago, I held NO hope to ever own a 101. Now it's happening!
Hi! I am interested in purchasing this for my son and have a question.. What is the gadget off to the upper left plugged into the keyboard? And is this a necessary accessory to go along with the keyboard? Thank you!
That is another synth called OP-1 that costs a lot more than the keyboard being played. It is totally not needed and for the price that it costs, you could buy 4 of these keyboards.
Hey any chance you could arrange Jimmy Dickinson from Little Angels to come in and jam on it! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! The Captain knows his brother Bruce.. please make that happen!!!
Jack I love your humor and your playing but why don’t you ever use a filter envelope? I just want to hear some plucky bouncy rubbery plasticky popcorn square bass plz.
I'm brand new to synthesizers but I think they are so cool and I am interested in getting this one. I saw the you had two things plugged into the back. One cord was going under the table was that one a power source? The other one was attached to something on the table what was that? (So sorry but I am very new). Will I need to buy the thing that is on the table or is that for more advanced? Does it come with the power source cord?
I think about buy one like that to start to make techno/house funky .. i didnt know you can use like a guitar like.. looks funny too but i hesitate for my first buy with arturia microfreak,(sounds so awesome), but i think the ms 101 is more basic and maybe better to begineer , learn the basic.. after that i need a drum machine.. but same problem , difficult to make a choice,, korg volca, drumbrute impact, or minibrute 2s (half modular) minibrute 2s looks good for learn modulation too, but i dont know if its a good drum machine or if its better to choice in a second drum machine and buy another one for the first,, like korg volca beats an opinion about a good combo/trio for starting ? i love adana twins sounds, solumun style DJ, etc
Wow, overnight delivery from Jack and the team. This thing is a monster! If I had realized how big it is I would have just put a guitar strap on my Jupiter-80! But seriously it is an excellent build and functions beautifully.
Shut Up 'n Play Yer Keytar...with appy-poly-loggies to Franz Zappa. Too much talk and the horrible sounds that would irritate my first (and only - ie. "lessons learned") wife who hated the sound of my PAiA 2720 synth kit in the early 70s. I now have 11 new synths and no wife, luxury! Perhaps you could stop talking nonsense and go out to the shipping department and assist (annoy) them with #12 for shipment this afternoon. No seriously though, great demo, can hardly wait to annoy the neighbours tomorrow.
Well, Behringer is a massive company that lives on stealing and copying. So next time before you do an ad for them just think it over what you are actually doing.
Maybe behringer will actually have to start an R&D department soon...instead of a C&D (Copy and Duplicate) department as they're going to run out of other people's idea's to COPY...then watch their prices go up...behringer are bad for the industry...very bad.

@@kentaccordionist ok thank you! And so this sequencer is only 32 steps which is short?
I always love your enthusiasm Jack!

Hey man, there's enough negativity going around as it is. If you have nothing constructive or positive to say, then keep it to yourself. Take care.

These videos are all so entertaining while also pretty informative. Awesome stuff.

“I can see a lot stuff… I see dead people “ when talking about the ADSR 😂😂
That intro 😂 It sounded like I just finished a run on the WiiFit
Video has been up for a minute. It's 15 minutes long and it already has 2 thumbs down. Something tells me the Behringer hate brigade is coming.
All 4 of them in 19 hours, as of now.
Yeah, that guy who used to do some kind of paid work for Moog really gets around. I have seen the nearly the same comments on multiple websites under multiple names.

Joseph Wright Who are you referring to exactly? Not sure I’ve seen their comments yet?
Roland's brother from another mother! ❤

TOFO Lmfao 💀

Jack, you're an absolute star mate, don't ever change... and a great version of this synth from Behringer (I'm still gonna wait for the black model though) :D
I love how the MS-1 pitch wheel is used like a crossfader
The new Rohlander
Three things ppl do with synths:
1. Play solos with pitch bend
2. Play Jump
3. Play Blade Runner parts
2 and 3 are the keyboard shop equivalents to Stairway To Heaven and Black Night.
4. Play the Stranger Things thing with the Arpeggiator
Whit Evans Yep. Stranger Things is the new one!
That's all behringer synth owners can do 🙃

Considering these are around a third of the cost, new, compared to a used SH-101 on Reverb in god knows what condition, I'm all for it

Love your videos, they're so fun to watch and informative too.
That intro jam by Pete was so funky with those keys on top!!
This here is Jack at his best
Good vid. Thanks mate
I am starting every morning with your jam and a cup of coffee!
Always fun for your videos mate. You crack me up. Keep up the good work.
Great demo Jack!
You guys are so good!! Love watching your content!!
Is this the return of the g funk era?
Been back for about 7 years now.
Very informative and entertaining... great job! I may need to get one for the studio...
One word. Batteries. Wtf. How can you use on strap with 1m power chord?

Fantastic job Jack
I need it in purple with pink and cyan crackle >_
this review is amazing! why does this guy only have 34k subs?!?!
Great review! Thank you for sharing this!
Jack's got mad skills!!!
So this is why stringed instruments tune before playing! :D Analogue keyboards - evolving, just backwards! Awesome review, serious product.
3 minutes in... amazing and fun session!
Tickles my Eardrums!
entertaining! love the personality in this vid
*presses play*
*head explodes*
And the winner goes to the band The Time" oreo I got the last red one on b and h for 329 that has ms-101 printed on it...now i have rd8,td3,ms-101
Based Jack intros.
Less pointless chat and more of the synth audio please Andertons.
JACK'S GREAT, MAN!!
😂Go Jack go😂😂😂 awesome jam lol oysters smoking clay pipe..😆winner...how lucky lol
Love Jack's Vids .... really stands out from others .. :) .. but using all that funk ... what is left for everyone else ?
Yes ….there is a “knob” for everything
The intro is the grooviest demo of this synth in the world so far!
Does it have a tune knob like the original SH-101? (I don't think you explored that option ;) ) Its awesome that Behringer have produced this and I'm keen to try one out. Im a big fan of Rolands SH-101. Im assuming this is monophonic like the original. Great to see the addition of MIDI too .
No idea why you don't get more views.
Great demo, thanks.
Behringer should do a triple-stacked rackmount version with unlatchable sequencers.
I read somewhere that the MS 101 is lacking bass, according to the opinion from a user. What do you think about this statement? I would like to believe is not true, cause I ordered it mainly for bass sound purpose. Thanks
TALENTED Geezer.....cool
Does the sequencer send midi out information as well?
Sounds so cheap, no wonder it was not selling in the 80s. (SH-101)

Love this show man i was wondering can u hook-up the talkbox mxr222 to behringer ms-1 let me know an thank you if u read this
What kind of cable for "EXT AUDIO IN"? Mini Jack Stereo to Jack Stereo or other?
Thats what i was wondering too!!! Anyone out there know??!!
Mono
And no T. rex hands!
the filters and res fall short on the Behringer synths
better off paying more and geting a bass station
When will these arrive in the US? Getting tired of waiting
I know man, been waiting for well over a year. But I'm glad they delayed the release until they were ready. But then 2 years ago, I held NO hope to ever own a 101. Now it's happening!
I need it to be delayed more....I have no money to buy it! xD
@@fortheloveofnoise I think it will be around for a good while. Until they release a 2.0 version with even more sickness!
This guy's great 👏
Cheap sound, I have got one in Blue... I wonder if it would sound better with come chorus on it?
Hi! I am interested in purchasing this for my son and have a question.. What is the gadget off to the upper left plugged into the keyboard? And is this a necessary accessory to go along with the keyboard? Thank you!

So it uses a real cem3340 rev G?
Reminds me of the music in transport tycoon 😅
Hey any chance you could arrange Jimmy Dickinson from Little Angels to come in and jam on it! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! The Captain knows his brother Bruce.. please make that happen!!!
Jack I love your humor and your playing but why don’t you ever use a filter envelope? I just want to hear some plucky bouncy rubbery plasticky popcorn square bass plz.
dope. dm our magazine for feature
Roland must be pulling their hair out!!!!
Made me smile instantly :D
The backing track in the end of the jam seems flat or sharp or something ...
not a fan of the 101 personally but god this sounded too good... funk is always great.. Behringer should thank you for selling many units prolly
3:27 lol
Luckily for us there's only a 2 octave keyboard Booked it today 🤪
I can see dead people, best movie BTW . Nara
I'm brand new to synthesizers but I think they are so cool and I am interested in getting this one. I saw the you had two things plugged into the back.

Will I need to buy the thing that is on the table or is that for more advanced? Does it come with the power source cord?
My main question is will it play with just the synthesizer
NO...doesn't have speakers
If only it had a second osc…
It wouldn’t be an SH-101 clone then
I think about buy one like that to start to make techno/house funky .. i didnt know you can use like a guitar like.. looks funny too
but i hesitate for my first buy with arturia microfreak,(sounds so awesome), but i think the ms 101 is more basic and maybe better to begineer , learn the basic..
after that i need a drum machine.. but same problem , difficult to make a choice,, korg volca, drumbrute impact, or minibrute 2s (half modular)
minibrute 2s looks good for learn modulation too, but i dont know if its a good drum machine or if its better to choice in a second drum machine and buy another one for the first,, like korg volca beats
an opinion about a good combo/trio for starting ?
i love adana twins sounds, solumun style DJ, etc
No hate Just Love ForDaFunk
Why play speech through the audio input, surly a beat woudl be a better test.
Hes related to Mu Mu Multiplya

Looks nice. Sounds like 99.99% of analogue synths. A glorified fart machine.
I used to have a Stylophone that sounded uncannily like this.
Not a good demo of what a 101 clone should be able to do.

First.
Due to an insatiable thirst!
simple effect section would be useful)
Get a cheap $10 used multi effect pedal
too clowny for me
if only this guy didn't talk
