Behringer Radar Contact and Pickup Microphone Eurorack Module
Product Information
Start scratching and tapping your way to unique and amazing sounds with the Behringer RADAR! Beats, ambient noises and otherworldly sound effects can easily be achieved thanks to its contact and pickup microphone plus, the RADAR can be readily integrated into any synth setup.
Features
Tap That!
The RADAR sports a pickup microphone placed right underneath the surface of the module. Simply tapping or scratching the textured surface will convert those into signals that can be patched into any module of your choice to create ambient, echoey sound effects, creepy bangs or any sound you can imagine!
Sonic Wave Detection
The pickup on the RADAR is even sensitive enough to capture any surrounding acoustic waves be it a knock on your modular case, a snare hit from your drummer or even sounds coming out of loudspeakers. Those sounds can then be converted into gate or envelope signals and tweaked with the Gate Sensitivity or Attack and Decay controls respectively.
Eurorack Ready
The RADAR is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. This allows it to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.
