2. Enstriksyon Sekirite Enpòtan
Toujou swiv prekosyon sekirite debaz yo lè w ap itilize pwodui sa a pou diminye risk dife, chòk elektrik, oswa blesi pou moun.
- Sous pouvwa: Konekte inite a sèlman nan kouran elektrik la voltage espesifye sou aparèy la.
- Câbles: Do not place power cords near heat sources or heavy objects. Do not modify the power cord.
- Imidite: Pa ekspoze aparèy la anba lapli oswa imidite. Pa sèvi avè l toupre dlo.
- Vantilasyon: Asire bon jan vantilasyon. Pa bloke ouvèti vantilasyon yo.
- Sèvis: Pa eseye fè antretyen aparèy la tèt ou. Konfye tout antretyen bay pèsonèl sèvis kalifye.
- Netwayaj: Netwaye sèlman ak yon twal sèk.

4. Enstalasyon
4.1 Koneksyon fizik
Before connecting any cables, ensure the synthesizer and all connected devices are powered off.
- Sòti odyo: Connect the main audio output of the MS-5 to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifijè a lè l sèvi avèk yon kab TS estanda 1/4-pous.
- kas ekoutè: For private monitoring, connect headphones to the dedicated headphone jack.
- Koneksyon USB: Connect the MS-5 to your computer using the supplied USB cable for MIDI communication and potential firmware updates.
- Antre ekstèn: If using an external audio source, connect it to the external input jack.
- Pouvwa: Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the rear panel of the MS-5, then plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet.

4.2 Power On/Off
After all connections are made, press the POWER button located on the rear panel to turn the unit on. To power off, press the POWER button again. Always power off the unit before disconnecting cables.
5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
The Behringer MS-5 features a classic analog signal path with dedicated sections for sound generation and modulation. Familiarize yourself with the control layout for effective sound design.

5.1 Oscillators (VCO-1 & VCO-2)
The MS-5 is equipped with two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) that generate the primary sound. Each VCO offers selectable waveforms and pitch control.
- Fòm ond: Select between Triangle, Ramp, Square, and Pulse waveforms. The Pulse Width control allows for dynamic timbre changes on the Square/Pulse wave.
- Anplasman: Adjust the pitch of each VCO independently.
- Senkronize: Synchronize VCO-2 to VCO-1 for harmonic rich sounds.
5.2 vòltage Filtre Kontwole (VCF)
The VCF shapes the tonal characteristics of the sound. The MS-5 features a versatile 4-pole/1-pole VCF.
- Frekans: Controls the cutoff point of the filter.
- Rezonans: Emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff point, creating a "wah" effect at higher settings.
- Envelope Modulation: The VCF can be modulated by the ADSR envelope for dynamic filter sweeps.
5.3 Envelopes (AR & ADSR)
Two envelopes are available to control the amplitude (VCA) and filter (VCF) over time.
- AR Envelope: Attack and Release controls for simpler amplitude shaping.
- Anvlòp ADSR: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release controls for more complex amplitude and filter modulation.
5.4 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO-1 & LFO-2)
The two LFOs provide modulation sources for various parameters, adding movement and expression to your sounds.
- Pousantaj: Ajiste vitès LFO a.
- Fòm ond: Selectable waveshapes for different modulation characteristics.
- Destinasyon: LFOs can be routed to modulate pitch, filter cutoff, and pulse width.
5.5 Mixer, Ring Mod, and Noise Generator
- Panneau: Blends the levels of VCO-1, VCO-2, Ring Mod, and Noise Generator before they enter the VCF.
- Ring Mod: Multiplies the frequencies of two input signals (VCO-1 and VCO-2) to create metallic, inharmonic tones.
- Noise Generator: Adds white noise for percussive sounds, wind effects, or to thicken existing patches.
5.6 USB Koneksyon
The USB port allows the MS-5 to function as a MIDI controller and receive MIDI data from a computer or other MIDI devices. This enables integration with Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) for sequencing and automation.
5.7 Antre ekstèn
The external input allows you to process external audio signals through the MS-5's filter and VCA sections, expanding its utility beyond internal sound generation.
6. Antretyen
6.1 Netwayaj
To clean the synthesizer, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp Ou ka itilize yon twal, epi apre sa, yon twal sèk.
6.2 Depo
When not in use for extended periods, store the MS-5 in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using a dust cover to protect the keys and controls.
NAN. Depanaj
If you encounter issues with your Behringer MS-5, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Pa gen pwodiksyon son | Power off, cables loose, volume low, VCA/VCF settings. | Ensure power is on. Check all audio cables. Increase main volume and VCA level. Adjust VCF cutoff and resonance. |
| MIDI not working | Incorrect USB connection, driver issues, DAW settings. | Verify USB cable connection. Check computer's device manager for driver status. Ensure correct MIDI input is selected in your DAW. |
| Kontwòl ki pa reponn | Firmware issue, temporary glitch. | Power cycle the unit. Check Behringer's websit pou mizajou firmwèr. |
If the problem persists, please contact Behringer customer support.
