  • Our take on the Behringer AKS Mini Synthesizer

    The AKS Mini is a portable analog polyphonic synthesizer that recreates the EMS Synthi AKS voice: three VCOs with variable saw and square waveforms feeding a faithful reproduction of the original '70s VCF. It adds modern touches the original never had, including poly and unison play modes, a 16-step motion sequencer with 10 memory slots, digital spring reverb, full MIDI with NRPN/CC control, and USB-C power. The 27 touch-sensitive keys and two-axis joystick keep the briefcase-synth feel, while the polyphony makes it far more flexible than the monophonic Synthi. It suits players who want vintage EMS character in a small, gig-friendly package, though its touch keyboard and compact panel will not please everyone.

    About the Behringer AKS Mini Synthesizer

    The Behringer AKS Mini is a portable analog polyphonic synthesizer based on the EMS Synthi AKS. It reproduces the original AKS VCO and VCF circuitry from the 1970s and keeps the signal path analog from end to end. It has programmable patches and a 16-step motion sequencer.

    Three oscillators with variable saw and square waveforms feed the AKS filter. The 27 touch-sensitive keys are used for playing. A two-axis joystick controls any two parameters you assign. A digital spring reverb adds depth without using panel space.

    The motion sequencer has 10 memory slots and records knob movements, so patches can change over time on their own. Poly and unison play modes are available. It has full MIDI implementation, including NRPN and CC control. It is powered over USB Type-C and has a sync connector.

    Questions and answers

    Is the AKS Mini really polyphonic?
    Yes. It offers poly and unison play modes, so you can play chords rather than the single-note lines of the original Synthi AKS.
    How does it compare with the original EMS Synthi AKS?
    It reproduces the original VCO and VCF circuitry and keeps the two-axis joystick, but adds polyphony, a motion sequencer, reverb, MIDI and USB-C power that the '70s instrument lacked.
    Can I save my patches?
    The 16-step motion sequencer has 10 memory slots for recording knob movements, but there is no general patch memory for full sound recall.
    Does it work with a DAW or MIDI controller?
    Yes. It has full MIDI implementation including NRPN and CC control, so it integrates with modern setups.
    What is in the box?
    The synthesizer itself. Check the listing for included cables, since USB-C powering requires a suitable supply.
    How does the touch keyboard feel?
    The 27 touch-sensitive keys are described as surprisingly playable for the size, but they are touch keys, not a sprung mechanical keyboard.
    Where is the Behringer AKS Mini Synthesizer cheapest?
    At Alto Music, for $129.00, as of our latest check.
