The Behringer BMX Hybrid Sampling Drum Machine brings iconic early-’80s digital drum sounds into the modern era, combining hybrid sampling, analog-style filters, and expressive performance controls. With an 8-voice architecture and 24 velocity-sensitive pads with aftertouch, the BMX offers hands-on control for both live performance and studio production. Its period-correct 8- and 12-bit sampling engine reproduces the signature crushed crunch of early digital drum machines, while integrated analog lowpass filters faithfully emulate the original tonal character.

Featuring a powerful 64-step sequencer with poly-meter, step-repeat, note-repeat, real-time triggering, track-mute, and track-solo functions, the BMX allows for intricate rhythm creation and pattern manipulation. The hybrid FX bus includes Wave Designer and a dual-mode analog filter with per-voice assignment and cutoff automation, giving you dynamic tonal shaping options. Pattern and Song modes let you store up to 16 songs and 256 patterns, which can be easily imported or exported, while a vivid LCD display and encoder simplify programming and editing.
