Behringer's CRAVE took one look at the price of a vintage mono synth and lopped off a couple of zeros. Under the hood: a proper analog 3340 oscillator, a creamy ladder filter straight out of a certain Moog bloodline, a 32-step sequencer, and a patchbay that turns it semi-modular the second you reach for a cable. It's cheap, it's cheeky, and it sounds genuinely huge: thick basses, acid squelch, and leads that cut. Sync it to the rest of your rig, patch it into your modular, or just sit and twist knobs until the neighbours file a complaint.

FEATURES & PROS:

• Real Analog 3340 Oscillator: Saw, pulse, and PWM with a girth that flat-out embarrasses the price tag.
• Ladder Filter: That classic resonant low-pass squelch, lifted straight from the synth canon.
• Semi-Modular Patchbay: Normalled to play out of the box, then rewire it into something nobody else has.
• 32-Step Sequencer + Arp: Build a riff, ratchet it, and let it run. Hands-free acid all night.
• Sync & MIDI: Locks to your DAW, drum machine, or modular without drama.
• Gateway-Drug Cheap: A genuine analog mono for the price of a posh dinner. This is how the modular addiction starts.
