The Behringer Model D is an authentic discrete analog desktop synthesizer inspired by the legendary Minimoog Model D. It features three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with 5 variable waveshapes, a classic 24dB/octave ladder filter with self-oscillation, an analog pink/white noise generator, an external audio input with overdrive loop capability, and Eurorack-compatible CV/Gate patch points. NOTE: Voice and filter parameters are wired directly to physical potentiometers and do not transmit or receive MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages. However, the Model D responds to Web MIDI note tracking, pitch bend, gate triggering, and MIDI clock sync.

💡 How to configure the Behringer Model D in closeby.one▼

To connect your Behringer Model D to your web browser, connect your synth using a USB cable or a dedicated USB-to-MIDI interface.

Open the MIDI Settings panel above, set the Output Port to your connected Model D device, and select the correct MIDI channel (default is channel 1). Once configured, you can map the MIDI CC layout sliders, draw automated parameter curves, and edit patches in real-time without installing any software.

Mod Wheel Depth (CC 1)0

Modulation Wheel CC 1 - Controls the depth of the onboard LFO or Oscillator 3 modulation routed to the filter cutoff or oscillator pitch via the internal mod bus.

ℹ️ How MIDI CC Sync Works

MIDI CC is a one-way push protocol. Synthesizers cannot be queried dynamically to read their current parameter values. To synchronize these sliders, select your synthesizer's MIDI Input Port above. When you physically tweak knobs on your synth, the slider positions will instantly update on-screen to match.

Firmware & Help Reference

Firmware Version Details

Latest Stable:v1.1.1

SynthTool software allows firmware updates, calibration adjustment, pitch bend range configuration, and MIDI channel remapping.

MIDI Troubleshooting

🚨 Oscillator drift and tuning instability

Discrete transistor analog circuits require a 15-to-20 minute warm-up period. Use the onboard A-440 Hz reference oscillator switch to tune Oscillator 1 to pitch, then beat-tune Oscillators 2 and 3 against Oscillator 1.

🚨 Setting the MIDI Channel on the Model D

The Model D features a 4-switch DIP selector on the rear panel. Setting all 4 switches downward sets the synth to MIDI Channel 1. Refer to the rear panel diagram or set the channel programmatically via the Behringer SynthTool over USB.

🚨 Achieving classic Minimoog filter overdrive

Plug a 1/4" patch cable from the Low Main Output into the External Input jack on the top left panel. Turn on the Ext Input switch in the mixer and gradually advance the Ext Volume knob to overdrive the ladder filter with harmonic saturation.
