It really works!

To the uninitiated, function generators may seem like little more than glorified envelopes, when in reality they are among the most versatile building blocks in a modular system. Designed for 3U Eurorack format (14 HP), the Behringer Waves is a comprehensive digital function generator capable of producing both modulation signals and full audio outputs. It covers everything from two-stage envelopes with simple or complex curves, through LFO signals with variable shapes, to oscillator waveforms with flexible morphing. More than just a modulation source, it also serves as a playable digital oscillator, opening up a wide range of sonic possibilities. Inspired by a high-end original and fully CV-controllable, the Behringer Waves is capable of producing evolving contours and shifting timbres that add depth and dynamics to any Eurorack setup.

Behringer Waves

Modulators & oscillators

The Behringer Waves is a ‘tidal modulator’, i.e. a function generator that produces continuously varying waveforms that can be stretched, skewed, or synced and that morph freely between envelopes, LFOs and oscillators. Three modes are available: AD and AR for one-shot envelopes, and Cycle. Envelope contours are shaped via a single Slope control, which can be morphed via CV in real time. In Cycle mode, a periodic signal is generated that can serve either as a CV-controllable LFO or as a digital oscillator, playable chromatically through the V/Oct input. The Shape and Smoothness parameters allow the waveform to be refined and transformed, while full CV-control at 16-bit resolution allows for highly dynamic performance and exquisite precision. Four outputs simultaneously deliver related but distinct variations in shape, amplitude, time, and frequency, providing further options for modulation and sound design.

Immediate results

Eurorack users seeking a streamlined alternative to the complexity and extensive logic functions of Behringer’s Abacus will find in the Waves a direct and versatile solution. Its straightforward control layout is well suited to sequencer-driven patches, where envelopes can be quickly shaped and modulated via the Slope function. As a digital oscillator, it can produce a far wider range of spectra than a classic VCO, and these sounds are far from static or sterile. The Shape control bends waveforms into linear, exponential, or sinusoidal curves, further expanding sonic possibilities. With this balance of immediacy and depth, the Behringer Waves can greatly enhance a compact Eurorack setup – although in practice, each patch can only be used for one of the module's core capabilities at a time.

About Behringer

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.

A true flex-oscillator

When set to Cycle mode, the Behringer Waves can operate across three frequency ranges. In Low and Mid it remains in the sub-audio domain as an LFO for shaping modulation signals, while at higher rates it enters the audio spectrum and becomes a playable oscillator. In both roles it produces signals that can be continuously reshaped in real time: Slope shifts symmetry, Shape adjusts overall contour, and Smoothness incorporates a wavefolder for complex harmonic spectra. An external clock input with phase-locked loop (PLL) capability also allows Waves to lock to other oscillators and derive synchronised subharmonics. Combined with external CV, these features create dynamic, evolving outputs, whether LFOs or oscillators, bringing equal depth to modulation duties and audio performance.

Extrem vielseitiger Funktionsgenerator zum Kampfpreis – aber nicht für jeden sofort verständlich
Lee661 03.02.2026
Der Behringer Waves ist für mich ein sehr vielseitiger Funktionsgenerator mit enorm vielen Möglichkeiten, der allerdings etwas überbewertet sein kann – zumindest wenn man ihn als direkten „Soundmacher“ betrachtet. Seine Stärke liegt klar im Bereich Modulation, komplexe Hüllkurven, LFO-Strukturen und experimentelle Steuerfunktionen.

Gerade in modularen Setups kann das Modul sehr viel Bewegung und Leben in Patches bringen. Es eignet sich hervorragend für sich entwickelnde Modulationen, rhythmische Veränderungen oder generative Strukturen. Wer sich mit Funktionsgeneratoren beschäftigt oder komplexere Modulationsnetzwerke aufbauen möchte, bekommt hier ein extrem leistungsfähiges Werkzeug.

Allerdings ist das Modul nicht sofort selbsterklärend. Viele Funktionen erschließen sich erst nach längerer Beschäftigung, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich selbst noch nicht das komplette Potenzial ausgeschöpft habe. Gerade Einsteiger könnten hier etwas Einarbeitungszeit brauchen.

Klanglich beziehungsweise kreativ ist Waves eher ein Werkzeug als ein klassisches Soundmodul. Wer gezielt nach neuen Klangquellen sucht, wird hier nicht unbedingt sofort fündig, sondern eher nach indirekten Möglichkeiten zur Klangformung.

Der größte Pluspunkt bleibt für mich der Preis. Für unter 100 € bekommt man hier eine Funktionsdichte, die normalerweise deutlich teurer ist. Selbst wenn man nur einen Teil der Möglichkeiten nutzt, ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis außergewöhnlich gut.

Insgesamt ein sehr mächtiges Utility-Modul mit großem kreativen Potenzial, das sich besonders für Nutzer eignet, die gerne experimentieren und sich in komplexere Modulationsstrukturen einarbeiten möchten.

Le couteau suisse de Mutable Instruments.
Jeffdevigneux 02.10.2025
Waves est la copie exacte du Tides 2 de feu Mutable instruments, que nous regrettons tous. Il génère des modulations improbables, aussi bien qu'un son d'enfer en mode VCO. Pour tirer le meilleur parti de ce module, il faut une certaine expérience, comme c'était souvent le cas avec MI. Merci à Behringer de nous l'avoir produit.
