The final announcement from Behringer at Superbooth 2018 is a clone of another classic Roland synthesizer, the SH-101. In this video you can see and hear the Behringer MS-101 in action.
It feels like Behringer's quest for world synthesizer domination was already well under way with the Model D, 808, Pro-One and ARP Odyssey clones (as well as their own DeepMind and Neutron of course). Well, this is perhaps the final announcement from the German music instrument company at Superbooth18... their recreation of the Roland SH-101: Meet the Behringer MS-101.
