Add that much-needed heat in your setup and crank out mind-bending polyrhythms with the Behringer SPICE an incredibly unique polyrhythmic synthesizer that's capable of creating incredibly complex and intricate sequences your audience will get a kick out of!
At the heart of SPICE is its two VCOs that each come with square and sawtooth waveforms, two sub-harmonic oscillators plus a mixer section that contains level controls for the main VCO and the two sub-oscillators. Stack each of these oscillators up and you'll have a nice layered pseudo-polyphonic sound. SPICE also features a 24 dB ladder filter, VCA and VCF Envelope sections for additional sculpting.
SPICE comes with two 4-step sequencers that are clocked with the 4 polyrhythm generators. Theres a lot of math that goes on behind the scenes, but all the sequencers output to the tempo control which can be set manually or via an external clock. All you need to worry about is that you can come up with some out-of-this-world polyrhythms!
