Use 5pin midi in on the Pro800 to dump them. The presets will be on Bank B, 00 -05
The presets where made with V 1.2.0. They may sound a little different with later firmware versions.

Very good. Lots of attention to detail of the original classics. Thumbs up for Mr Fingers Can You Feel It. 😊

Nailed Mr. Fingers.

Dang the depeche mode sounds.. spot on!! love it.

[@channelz3363]

Some great sounds - very well done bro

[@bennethos]

really good video that emphasizes that every great patch we know from a song has an interesting effect chain behind it. sometimes it was also doubled up and panned L & R for stereo field

[@TheDavidPoole]

Nice work Mr. Noise. Very nice work indeed!

I've always been wondering about those Mr. Fingers chords...thanks! 😍

[@tomnoise23]

Note that I‘ve played them in the wrong key on the keyboard . The synth was transposed +5 by accident 😉

[@sauermusicDE]

@@tomnoise23 Yes, I read that already here. But I don't mind at all since the wrong key doesn't have influence on the actual TYPE of chord(s). But still thanks for letting me know. 🙂

Great hearing the Mr Fingers demo, and your videos here on the Pro-800… I’m a beginner with Synths, but I may have to acquire one of these and see if I might be able to get to grips with it.

[@tomnoise23]

Great to hear! Thanks!

@@tomnoise23 just made the purchase, been watching a few of your videos. Thank you, they’re incredibly calm and clear, and seem very good for a beginner like me to understand as you calmly decisively discuss each topic, without it feeling like a freight train aimed solely for experts. Thank you.

[@MrArpSolina]

On "In The Air Tonight", the chords are correct, but on the keyboard, you are playing the keys 5 semitones lower. The first chord is Dm (D-F-A), that's what we hear, but on the video we can see you're using an Am chord (A-C-E) on the keyboard! It means that you tuned the synth 5 semitones higher, for some reasons.

[@tomnoise23]

Hey thanks for the heads up. Good spot and very helpful - I found out too late that the transpose function was set to 5 semitones. I simply forgot to set it back before recording 🤦‍♂ The other parts are in the wrong positions (but correct notes) as well, my bad! I've added it to the description.

[@BarbieChaite]

sound 1 yeah !

[@georged822]

A+ do some more

[@rekindle]

wow, these sound great. I think Love Like Blood is an OBXA on the original? But your patch for it sounds awesome

[@tomnoise23]

Yes I was reading it was an oberheim… in the end it’s also just a few pulsewaves through a 24db vcf.

[@michaelscottpettis]

[@georgegeorgio1751]

Not bad but take on me has more fast attack bell like sound probably mix saw & square with maybe low and high octave on the 2 oscillators.

[@iamyourfuture808]

@2.49 , sounds like the intro synth on Fashion- Move On

[@tomnoise23]

Right! I must have heard this song not for decades now, love it

[@noisemodule]

I think it would be cool if Behringer could release a future firmware which allowed the voice count to be reduced manually. perhaps this is already a feature, but I couldn't find anything on it. obviously most people will want to make use of all eight voices most of the time, but when you're emulating classic 5 and 6 voice polysynths, some of that voice stealing may be desireable and help keep the mix open and a little more sparse.

[@iamyourfuture808]

naaa

[@tomnoise23]

@noisemodule This is already implemented. In the settings you`ll find a voice kill option to turn off particular voices, so you can make it anything between 1 and 8 voices.

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Great patches especially the first one. Could you explain a little more about installing them on the Pro-800. Ive just got one and not sure if i need Midi ox software to transfer patches. Cheers.

[@tomnoise23]

Hi, you need an app to load and transfer SysEx files to the unit. I’m on a Mac using SysEx Librarian. Midi Ox should work on a pc.

[@PsychologyAcademia]

@@tomnoise23 Thanks. :)

[@davelordy]

Amazing job ! Could I simply copy the setting from the front panel as shown in the video, or do these sounds also involved some menu settings I can't see ?

[@tomnoise23]

Thanks! The panel doesn't reflect the knob values as i made the presets before recording. Bit you can download the presets and dump them to your unit of course. link in description.

[@davelordy]

@@tomnoise23 Cheers, not actually got my P800 yet, it's on the way, should be here by Friday, but I'll be sure to download your patches !

[@ThomasMusic4U]

Nice! Wasn't it on this channel where there was a excellent Pro-800 preset of the "Sweet Dreams" intro? Would love to get that preset. I tried to set each parameter exactly the same as is that video, but it didn't even sound close:/

[@tomnoise23]

Thanks! Ah no that was a video with a Roland SH2.

[@SkullDamage]

Is that a vintage Green Hosa MIDI cable? Wish they still made all those colors!

[@tomnoise23]

I have no clue what brand it is, but yes, bought it probably over 20 years ago. So it's vintage 😀

[@Synth_Tools]

Good job! (Hint: you're doing some mistakes in the A-Ha lead... check some extra C# that whould be a D instead)... by the way, did you use global transpose? The notes played/sequenced do not match the actual pitch.

[@tomnoise23]

Yes exactly you are right. When I was recording, I was slightly confused as I didn’t notice that the Pro-800 was transposed up by five semitones. So I was wondering myself why I had to play different keys as I was used to 😂🤦‍♂️… then I played by ear and missed that little detail 😂 shit happens…

[@danyrockjr]

Hi t.noise, Thanks for sharing your patches. Question if you will allow: The SETTINGS + 3 allows you to DUMP the preset. How do you DUMP a complete BANK without overwriting the others? Thanks for your help

[@tomnoise23]

If I recall correctly, you can only dump the whole memory but not single banks.

[@danyrockjr]

@@tomnoise23 Thank you for your reply. So if I DUMP from B00-B05, I will also overwrite B06 to B99?

[@tomnoise23]

@@danyrockjr I think you can’t dump a selection of presets. Can’t tell as I returned the P800

[@danyrockjr]

@@tomnoise23 Thank you for these answers.

[@Asmuk]

Great demo, thanks. Is it possible to use a sustain pedal with it?

[@tomnoise23]

Yes. It has a pedal input and receives it as midi control message too.

[@Asmuk]

@@tomnoise23 Thanks!

[@victoratanasov6390]

Any chance you’d share these patches as a download with us, thanks 🙂

[@tomnoise23]

The truth is, i wanted to share these presets as a download but it turns out that the dump didn't really work. i can dumb the presets to the computer, but the Pro-800 didn't receive them back in my test. So at this point it's a bit pointless. I will check back with later firmware versions and see if i can get it working.

[@tomnoise23]

@victoratanasov6390 I have managed to dump the sounds back using 5 pin midi in. Don't use the USB connection for this then it will work. link in the description

[@victoratanasov6390]

Thank you, really appreciated!

[@Systemv1]

Amazing, thanks for sharing! In terms of programming, does the panel reflect the settings!?

@@tomnoise23 Patch tutorials would be amazing.

[@RobertoFigus]

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not very expert, in order to insert your patches do I have to buy a Midi to usb adapter cable? Can't use USB cable connected to pro-800 to PC?

[@tomnoise23]

You can try it via USB. At the point when i made the video, the soft thru option was non existent. I didn't test it again, but if you turn soft thru off then it may work.

@@tomnoise23 I was able to upload the patches, thanks a lot for your help :)

[@doordedeur]

The original In The Air Tonight patch is just a sine pad with virtually no attack.

[@tomnoise23]

Thanks for the comment, but a Prophet 5 doesn't have a sine wave (that''s what they where using) and this sound is using zero attack. But the Pro-800 is not a prophet 5 and the envelopes are a bit slow with this firmware version. Probably it could be closer, but that was the best i could come up with in a few minutes. It's fun to mess with the symth and see how close you can get to such simple sounds.

[@RobertoFigus]

Hello, Marten, Excuse the question, are the patches you're valid only for Mac owners? Can they also be used for Windows users?

[@tomnoise23]

They are in sysex format, so you can use it on both plattforms. I guess for windows that would be Midi Ox to send them to the unit. For mac you can use Sysex Librarian. Who's Marten?

[@RobertoFigus]

@@tomnoise23 Thank you for your kind reply, indeed you are right, while I was writing to you, I had received a message from a user named Marten, so I didn't realize I had the wrong name, sorry, thanks for your reply, congratulations for your videos!

[@DarrenGlen]

i hope Behringer bolts a damn keyboard to this thing in a few updated version. It deserves to be more than another rack box floatin around the studio

[@Cynshet]

The perfect example of how important eq and reverb are for the sound. I can't understand why Behringer already released a nice FX unit for their analog synths. A simple mixer, an EQ, 2 or 3 effects from TC-Electronics, all placed in the standard Eurorack-Case and everybody would buy it.

[@tomnoise23]

Hm - Don’t they sell mixers with inbuilt effects already?

[@Cynshet]

@@tomnoise23 Of course but not in that eurorack case like most of their synths, so that would be very useful.

[@tomnoise23]

@@Cynshet ah gotcha 👍

[@odmusicman]

I appreciate your efforts but those sounds were actually pretty weak. I know Ah-ha had a lot of layers in their synth sounds but your recreation isn't even close. You also played the most famous Phil Collins songs in history in the wrong key. It's in D minor, not A minor.

[@tomnoise23]

I appreciate your comment but if you would read the description, then you would find out the reason why you are hearing the correct key but my playing was 5 semitones low on everything.
