Audio Mixer / Switcher / Converter

Music production hardware helps composers, producers and songwriters create faster and more creatively than with a mouse and keyboard alone. This section includes hardware tools for composing and producing music, such as Behringer compact composition units and related gear, designed for electronic producers, beatmakers and film composers.

What can composition hardware do?

• Create beats and patterns with hands-on step sequencers.
• Play and record melodies, chords and bass lines.
• Control virtual instruments and effects in your DAW.
• Generate new musical ideas through arpeggiators and pattern tools.
• Perform music live without a computer.

Who is it for?

• Electronic music producers: for techno, house, EDM and hip-hop production.
• Film and game composers: to sketch ideas quickly and control orchestral libraries.
• Songwriters: to build demos and arrangements.
• Live performers: to play and manipulate patterns on stage.

Choosing composition hardware

• Standalone or DAW-based: standalone units work without a computer; others act as controllers for software.
• Connectivity: MIDI DIN, USB-MIDI and CV/Gate for modular synths.
• Sequencer features: number of steps, patterns, swing and probability.
• Sound engine: some units include built-in sounds; others control external synths.

Building your production setup

A complete production setup typically includes a computer with a DAW, an audio interface, studio monitors, headphones, a MIDI keyboard controller and, optionally, hardware synthesizers and drum machines. Composition hardware sits at the centre, sequencing and controlling everything.

Learning and workflow

Hardware encourages experimentation and helps you finish ideas faster by limiting distractions. Many producers use hardware to create ideas, then finish arrangements in the DAW.
