Faithful to the Original
The Behringer KOBOL EXPANDER is a duophonic analogue synthesizer featuring 2 VCOs allowing morphing between 7 waveforms, oscillator synchronization and pulse-width modulation that bring back to life the original circuits of the 70s. A unique 4-pole VCF also provides this natural saturation only found in “Kobol” synths.

Expand Your Horizons!
If you want to push the KOBOL EXPANDER even further, the analogue LFO has two selectable waveforms that can be connected to multiple external modules or synths to achieve more complex sounds. And that's not all. A built-in noise generator and voltage processor let you extend the possibilities even further to create spicier sounds.

Made for Your Setup
The KOBOL EXPANDER can easily be integrated into any sized setup with its 32 patch points you can use to connect to any module or synth in your arsenal and create tunes that will get you and the crowd rocking!

Eurorack Ready
The KOBOL EXPANDER 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 for the KOBOL EXPANDER to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.

An Amazing Value
Get that massive-as-a-bull sound that only the KOBOL EXPANDER from Behringer can deliver. It’s an amazing synth that opens up so many possibilities!
