The modular legend in a Eurorack format

In the early 70s, the US company ARP released the 2500 synthesizer, designed to compete with the modular systems pioneered and popularised by Moog. The 2500 was used by musicians in experimental electronica, like Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis, as well rockstars like Pete Townshend, Elton John, and Depeche Mode's Vince Clarke. It was even seen on screen in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". The vast and very complex 2500 had a different architecture to the products made by its competitor Moog, using matrix switches to connect the modules instead of the more conventional patch cables. This legend of electronic music has become extremely difficult to find today, and even then at prices only a rockstar could afford. Now, the Behringer 2500 Series is reviving and remaking the ARP 2500, porting it into a far more affordable Eurorack format. The Module 1027 is a sequencer designed to control VCOs and other elements that can be modulated via CV.

Compact 3x8 sequencer

The Behringer Clocked Sequential Control Module 1027 is a traditional analogue sequencer, albeit its layout is rather unconventional, with its three rows of dials set out in staggered vertical rows. This makes it relatively compact for a sequencer. The eight steps are displayed with LEDs, with a separate gate output for each step. The CV levels of the three rows are output as channels A, B, and C. An internal clock generator controls the speed, which can also be modulated using an external CV: The clock output can itself be used to synchronise other sequencers. Additionally, the on/off (i.e., start/stop), reset, and step functions can all be controlled remotely using external gate signals. By attaching a link cable to the circuit board, the 1027 can also be connected to the Behringer 1050 mix-sequencer.

The elite synth system for everyone

The modules in the Behringer 2500 series are modern versions of what is quite simply a legend, despite which they are a very budget-friendly entry-point into the world of modular synthesizers. Many of the modules in the series are based around a dual version of their central component, or they combine two entirely different functions in one device, making these already affordable modules even more appealing. For comparatively little outlay, users can put together a powerful basic system that they can then modify and upgrade as desired: In practice, this means they can truly create their dream setup, limited only by their imagination – even effectively integrating other Eurorack modules with wholly different concepts, for instance. Of course, the Behringer 2500 is first and foremost a fantastic opportunity for anyone who has ever wanted to give the incredibly rare original a try.

About Behringer

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.

Three tracks in perfect sync

This sequencer is ultimately a very traditional design, with its output of three parallel CV values per step; they can be used to control the same number of parameters, for instance the pitch of a VCO, the cutoff of a VCF, and the decay time of an envelope. Triggers for the envelope can come from the clock output or any of the individual outs, so that only certain steps will activate (decay) envelopes or other functions. If the 1027 is combined with the Mix-Sequencer Module 1050, users can switch between the various outputs to create even more complex sequences. And it doesn't stop there – in fact, creative applications like the synchronised switching of VCO waveforms or the rhythmic modulation of audio signals are just the start.

I needed some time
Kwalitiet 02.04.2024
I wanted to use it mainly as a sequencer but it took me a while to sync it to the rest of my setup. Works fine now, I feed it a (gate) clock from my MPC One (to the step input) and refrain from using the internal sequencer. So the steps run along with the MPC which runs along with my software sequencer so all synced up

Smaller than a 960
Rory the Border 06.03.2025
For all (well, most) of your Berlin School needs. If you don’t have 56hp to spare for an actual 960, this is a good substitute with a smaller footprint. I’m not in love with the module’s looks, but it is authentic, and almost as intuitive as its larger cousin. Excellent value for money.

Using mainly for modulation. But does this job supremely well and at this price is great value for money.

Der Sequencer zu den ARP2500er Modulen
Dr. Rodie 13.02.2022
Endlich ist er lieferbar, das Modul 1027 ist der zur Vervollständigung der Serie fehlende Sequencer und wichtige Taktgeber auch für das Modul 1050! Entsprechend verfügt das Modul über einen rückseitigen 12poligen Bus, samt Kabel, um ein 1050 damit zu verbinden. Drei Kanäle mit je 8 Schritten (das Original hatte je 10) können separat ausgegeben werden oder durch Durchschalten in einer Hälfte des 1050 auch zu 16er oder 24er Ketten verbunden werden. Mit zwei 1027ern und einem 1050er gehen sogar 32 und mehr Schritte!
Die Fertigungsqualität ist gewohnt stabil, auch wenn hier nichts an der Frontplatte verschraubt ist. Neben dem intern und extern steuerbaren Stepfortschritt, ist auch die Breite der Gateimpulse steuerbar und besitzt jede Position einen Gateausgang. Die interne Clock lässt sich starten und stoppen oder die Position zurücksetzen, womit dann auch kürzere Längen bis 24 Schritten leicht realisierbar sind.
Ich habe jedenfalls viel Spaß mit diesem übersichtlichen Analogsequencer. Nur eine separate Gatereihe, bzw. das Überspringen oder individuelle Timen von Schritten sind hier im Gegensatz zum Moog 960 nicht möglich... Test der ganzen Serie erscheint in Ausgabe #91 des Synthesizer Magazins SynMag
