Behringer TD-3-BK
A characterful synthesizer (analog, monophonic) for hands-on synthesis.
The Best Analog Synthesizers (UK 2026)
Analog synthesizers generate sound from electronic circuits (voltage-controlled oscillators and filters), giving them warm, rich, characterful tones and the satisfying immediacy of tweaking a knob and hearing it change instantly. Behringer, Moog and Korg lead the affordable-to-premium range.
What to look for
- True analog oscillators and filter for that warm sound.
- Hands-on knobs for real-time tweaking.
- Semi-modular patching if you want to experiment.
- CV/gate or MIDI to connect to your setup.
