AutomaticGainsay vs. Behringer MS-5: Envelopes Get Weird

AutomaticGainsay dives headfirst into the Behringer MS-5, wringing every ounce of envelope madness from this Roland SH-5 clone. Expect envelope triggering so wild it’d make a modular snarl, and modulation tricks that punch way above the MS-5’s pay grade. If you think you know analog envelopes, think again – this video puts the ‘fun’ back in ‘function generator’. Don’t expect hand-holding – it’s all about deep-dives and dirty tricks.
