Behringer Pro-1 - 1st Solo Jam 'Berlin School' Style

My music can be found here: tomorrowthecure.bandcamp.com
Behringer Pro-1 first try out of the box: Just a single pattern from my earlier SH-1 video, sequenced and transposed using a Keystep (not tried the Pro-1's on-board sequencer yet) purely to try it out for sound. Recorded in AUM with Dubstation 2 delay and EOS2 reverb on an iPad. I start with keyboard control on Oscillator B turned off for a drone, then back on, just mixing VCO levels, filter cutoff and envelope amount, decay time, resonance and noise level at the end. Both VCO's are square waves with PWM. Video quality isn't all that because I had to use the iPad to edit it.
Additional footage is of a Sparrowhawk having a pigeon for breakfast in my garden. Yummy.

as old as i am, you are helping me to decide what to buy and use together for fun, like you say music can't cure a virus be it can lift the spirits, and helps to escape the madness of this world and avoid the crazy people out their, thanks mate

[@DreamsOfWires]

That's great to know, thank you. I think if the crazy people out there discovered music-making they'd probably chill out, and the world would be all the better for it.

Thank you very much.

[@BingoBabyO]

Brilliant mastery of the Pro1.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you very much.

[@Laserguy2009]

Fantastic, and thank you for the other links of the how to. I think Behringer nailed it on the Pro-1, I have played both and the Behringer is a true win, regardless of the bad rap it gets by the Lexus and Mercedes crowd.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you, you're welcome.

[@nervesint]

@@DreamsOfWires It's amazing. Had some trouble figuring out the problems with the "gatebug" or what its called. Totally unexperienced with synths. Been isolated for four months because of a back injury. Found a monotribe left behind by the former residents and got mesmerized. Guess i found a new hobby. :D

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you very much, that's really nice to hear. Yes, thank heavens for good tunes whilst we're shut in at home.

[@dnch]

oh wow, great idea with that keyboard control switching.. never thought of that lol.. great as always

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you very much. To be honest, when I recorded this I still hadn't figured out what many of the switches do, it's an unusual beast.

[@dnch]

@@DreamsOfWires i like mine too, got this one and K2 too.. both have nice singing resonance (K2 even resonant hp filter) and the lpf doesnt loose bass with higher resonance which is nice for a change:)

[@DreamsOfWires]

Ah, I'd like the K2 also; I liked the MS20 Mini, it was great for drones, but I prefer the module format.

[@mauriciosanchez7598]

Man, this video doesn't let me choose easily between this and a Neutron. Love this track :)

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it.

[@RichardOlpin]

There's a simple answer to that. You clearly need both.

[@chisel316]

Fantastic! I see that I'm not the only one that uses Dubstation 2 and EOS2 on the iPad! Those are my two go-to send effects on every track in AUM. 😀

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you. Yes, I think they're both great apps, I particularly like EOS2.

[@Bogdan272]

@@DreamsOfWires this is so awesome! how did you go about doing that? did you record into the ipad or use the ipad as an fx send or something?

Well done homage! I saw Tangerine Dream live back in the day. I will be ordering a Pro-1.

Thank you. I still haven't heard much TG, but a lot of Klaus Schulze, but I'd have loved to see either back then.

[@skreetis]

DreamsOfWires I’d suggest TD’s Rubycon as a great place to start

Thank you very much. It was, but I kept it pretty simple, just one sequence and not changing the sound too significantly.

[@mariorossi7225]

changes like JMJ mood like TD footage NIN style relly good work and you have a very fine taste

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you very much.

[@danieklerr]

Beautiful! Which one do I choose.. the Pro-1 or the goshawk? Thanks for uploading.

[@DreamsOfWires]

I'd choose both ;) Thanks for watching.

[@pointsurrender]

Nice to see you. Been hearing a lot of lovely sounds from the Pro-1 (including yours). Now that you've had a go with it, what do you think?

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks, you too. I've not had much chance to use it yet, but I think it's great so far, for the price especially. I've fancied having a Pro One for some years, but couldn't afford it, so I'm really glad they brought this one out.

[@josemalaga3033]

Sounds great! The effects are analog or software?

[@tedhuggins764]

Very cool video my friend. Could I ask what you did to get the the chords in the track playing while operating the pro 1 at the same time?

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you, it's explained in the description.

[@rickr.mortis4821]

Just plain perfect. What all do you have the pro-1 ran through?

Thank you very much, it's in the desctiption

[@augmentedkeys5971]

How do the knobs feel? Slippery or firm? Thanks! Great music.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks, they seemed ok.

[@fantasyproduct1042]

👏 really stupid question sorry. How do you get such an amazing stereo sound from this

[@DreamsOfWires]

It's ok, not stupid. It's just the effects used in the description, but I can't remember how I configured them.

[@williamshaneblyth]

Sweeeeeeeet

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you.

[@electroinblack6852]

is that with the latest firmwear patch?

[@tesorotesoro1654]

Wicked dude ,are all them sounds coming just from the pro1,without a keyboard .thanks.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks. I'm using a Keystep sequencer to play the notes.

[@josepha891]

Question for the masses. For drone/ambient chill wave style music, which would be better. I’m talking about the $300 Behringer line. Model d/neutron/cat/pro 1 etc. On paper, the majority have similar features. Just looking for opinions. I’m not a musician or can play a piano, just love the sounds. BTW I am leaning towards the Cat or Model D.

[@I3loom]

For those genres, I would say the Cat would probably be best.

[@chesterdesmond666]

I would say the Neutron has the most flexibility as its patch bay can be used not only for re-routing its own signals but also as a flexible utility for other gear with eurorack i\o. It has no arpeggiator or sequencer though so you are going to need something to drive it (however you can drone with the VCA bias knob).It seems a little less immediate..whenever I jam with it it seems to fulfill a role of background craziness\atmosphere.This has to do with my settings obviously but it seems to lend itself to that. I just got the Pro 1 and am having a lot of fun learning it..it has a more direct feel to it and I find it easier to dial in a certain sound with it. It has a thicker, punchier sound to me than the Neutron and the filter is very responsive and wide. It has arp and sequencer plus a Drone switch (!). There is a mode where you can get the 2nd oscillator to drone 1 note (instead of following the notes being played) and by changing its pitch in relation to Osc 1 you can get some cool middle eastern sounding stuff going on. I also have the Crave. It is less feature-rich than either of the above but has its uses in my workflow. Another good filter and it's just very easy to operate (the upside to the "one-voice" model). Both the sequencer and arp are much deeper than on the Pro 1. You can also drone with a flick of a switch. Once you start patching the 3 together it becomes even better..the possibilities are endless! I am also hoping to get a Cat and\or Model D at some point. They just seemed slightly more niche than the ones I have and I was focused a lot on the patch points when deciding which to get first. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these units.

[@theoversouls]

I had the Cat and Neutron and I would definitely go with the Neutron. See T Williams comment. If you need a sequencer then maybe something else.

[@1942manfred]

What audio interface are you using now?...the line-6 you used in older vids is no longer supported in the newest ver. of IOS ?

[@DreamsOfWires]

An old Focusrite. The Line6 still works for me, since I got fed up of Apple's iOS 'updates' making my iPad consistently slower and becoming incompatible with more non-Apple products, so I stopped updating it.

[@1942manfred]

@@DreamsOfWires ,yes....it gets infuriating how they do that..ugh!

[@iamyourfuture808]

Folk with Pro 1... does it stay in tune?

[@Pulse2AM]

Good question! I had the original and had to keep a guitar tuner hooked up to it at all times because it drifted out of tune so much.

[@jasonwhite3017]

Whoa! lovely, I want a Behringer analog synth, but which one do I get? Pro-1, 2600, Neutron???

[@martindirkzimmer]

Collect them all. It's like Pokemon :)

[@vaiman7777]

I have a few, the Deepmind for sure. 2600 is awesome, but you don't obvs have presets. Neutron is nice, but I'd say it's a later purchase. Again, DM is worth every penny.

[@BobsBand]

I bought Pro-1, K-2 and Neutron and offical rack to mount them in. I haven't sussed them out yert, but the Neutron seems to be the coolest of those 3 so far!

[@christian_blass]

I think the Pro-1 and the Neutron are my favorites. My 2600 is not used very often. But an Effect Appliance is important. I use the Behringer FX2000. So don't forget the effects. Without you never get the real feeling.

[@AndyVonal]

Oh man, you've just sold me a Pro 1. I have resisted until now. I will check the bank balance at the end of the month and if there's enough, I'm going to get it. Enough time has passed - I've put it off for far too long.

[@DreamsOfWires]

That's great, enjoy it.

[@AndyVonal]

@@DreamsOfWires It's the end of the month and I have enough spare pennies....ordered it....should arrive tomorrow. Eeek!

[@Brucelectricmoose]

Apart from the reverb is this all just from this 1 instrument not multi tracked? How are you changing the key of the arp? Sounds ace.

is he also using a keyboard with the pro-1? or is the pattern stock?
