Behringer JT-4000 Micro
The JT-4000 Micro takes you back to the 1990s with its recreation of the Roland JP-8000 virtual analogue synth engine. This little module uses a 12-bit DA converter and provides two oscillators per voice as well as a 2-operator FM synthesis engine.
Another interesting factor is its analogue filter, with accessible controls. So, you have the ability to use a range of different waveforms including the famous Supersaw, and shape the sound with ease.
Overall, the JT-4000 Micro is an exciting synth for the price. What’s more, its convenient USB-C connectivity both powers the synth and gives it MIDI capabilities.
