Behringer Model D - Oscillator 3 is quite interesting...

  • In this video, I’m taking a closer look at Oscillator 3 from the Behringer Model D. In addition to being a perfect good oscillator, it also functions as a drone (or tuning tone?) and controls the LFO.

    The switch to the left of Osc 3 just disables keyboard tracking of pitch. So Osc 3 will play at whatever pitch it's tuned to. You can still change the pitch using the tuning knob and octave selector. There are two reasons for this:
    1. When using Osc 3 as an LFO (in the "Lo" range), it keeps the LFO at a fixed rate for vibratos, wha-whas, etc. This is the main reason.
    2. It allows Osc 3 to be used as a drone note for emulating bagpipes or other droning sounds.
    It is NOT fixed to A-440 or any other particular note. You set the pitch (or LFO rate) with the tuning knob.

      very helpful, you worth reading. if i wanted to voice modulate the synth, which cv input? thinking mod source but havent really dialed it in yet. i can send audio as cv no worries there

    Good to see some new Behringer Model D videos, most of them on RUclips are around 2 years old. Please keep posting them. Not enough people talk about the controller panel, so good to see you are here

      Thanks. Yea, I waited until I could get a second-hand unit! It's great, this instrument isn't going anywhere. I'm just working on a video about the audio in, that's coming this week. Cheers!

      Have had mine almost a year and having fun with it, even without any musical ability whatsoever. Yours looks brand new, previous owner must have looked after it or never used it.

    On the original Minimoog, there wasn't a separate lfo. So oscillator 3 was the option to use as an LFO (sacrificing it as an audio oscillator). The keyboard control could be switched off to keep the frequency stable while playing the other oscillators. It's also great at audio rates for adding FM effects. Original Moog modulars also didn't have a specific LFO module- any oscillator could be switched to 'low' rate to be used as an LFO. When Moog reissued the Minimoog, they added an LFO to further increase the synth's flexibility- so you could have vibrato with all 3 oscillators playable at once. A nice trick is to blend Osc 3 with the LFO to make more complex LFO wave shapes (edit- you got there as I was typing!! :)).

    Yes, the pulse waves are hard-wired voltage divider taps into where a traditional potentiometer or Cv input would go in the oscillator for setting pulse-width.

      in the spirit of poverty, i use a raspberry pi 4 running puredata to control midi/cv and play it with a gamepad, a tablet, and my phone with touch interfaces i made for touchOSC. that said, i hear the neutron is a powerhouse module and behringer original if you're over the minimoog thing. gonna get that next hopefully

    4:13 the third oscillator staying in a fixed note is for playing a droning note (paraphonically), I suppose. It doesnt have to stay in A if you change OSC 3 fundamental pitch, I suppose.
