Behringer BMX Classic Hybrid Drum Machine
The Behringer BMX is a hybrid drum machine inspired by the iconic early‑1980s digital drum machines that shaped new wave, synth-pop, and early hip-hop. It features a period‑accurate 8‑ and 12‑bit sampling engine that captures the crushed transients and gritty character of early digital percussion, complemented by analog low-pass filters modeled on the original hardware.
Built around an 8‑voice framework, each voice has independent level and pan controls, with eight discrete analog outputs for flexible routing. Its 64‑step sequencer supports poly‑meter, step‑repeat, note‑repeat, real-time triggering, track mute, and track solo. Integrated effects include a Wave Designer and dual-mode analog filter, assignable per voice with automation.
Expressive performance is enabled via 24 velocity-sensitive pads with aftertouch. Patterns and songs can be stored, imported, or exported, with up to 256 patterns and 16 songs. Programming is made simple through a high-contrast LCD and multifunction encoder. Comprehensive connectivity includes MIDI, USB, and multiple sync options. The BMX delivers authentic early-digital, bit-reduced drum textures for studio or live performance.
