Behringer Pro-800 More Sounds Only Demos

[@highspeedracer1921]

God bless Behringer, man… us poors wanna make music too so it’s nice to have a company like this.

[@XanderEwald]

Being poor never kept us from making music in the 90s. Where there's a will, there's a way.

[@KevinSparksatx]

​@@XanderEwaldeh it wasn't THAT hard. In the 90's i could buy a real Moog for $300-400

[@productamadeus8745]

I’ve never thought about it from that perspective. There ARE people who are poor that still want to have great gear. Interesting.

[@ericwatson113]

People saying it was possible in the past… yeah. What about in THIS economy boomer?

[@KevinSparksatx]

@@ericwatson113 you've missed the point completely (cost of Moog), but making music is easier and cheaper than ever before. And it can be made without ever touching a Moog!

[@DSZI.ShyHunterBB]

Just got my pro-800 this week! Thanks for the demos

[@threerecurring]

Oh my goodness. It sounds fantastic.

[@Subtronik]

Great sounding pack for a great synth.

[@RealityShiftUK]

Loving the 808 state

[@grahamnunn8998]

Got less than five minutes in and the video to order these. Now watching the rest and can see it was the right decision 😅

[@highspeedracer1921]

Think I’m about to bite the bullet on one of these. Sounds fantastic.

[@tenalock]

Get your glow sti Get your glow stick out, one of best value synths ever seen IMO. No plugin could touch this, which is surprising, there really hasn't been a film is dead "digital photography" moment.. yet..

[@johnsaunders6510]

Sounds big, confident and strident.

[@synthwarez]

Very good sounds, congratulatios

[@pcuimac]

This thing rocks after the firmware upgrade!

[@ShaunCymruDS8]

Crumbs! As has been said, this really does sound looovely. Thank you for the demo MrS.

[@MusicZeroOne]

Great to meet you today. Enjoy your ‘new synth’ 👌

[@matthewgaines10]

Sounds nice for sure.

[@anthonyalexander7246]

Sounds really good, almost like a oberheim ,alot of bite,punchy

[@StarskyCarr]

yeah I get that.

[@dwb1980]

Nice. I can't believe how much this synth costs! Definitely buying one. Would be mad not to.

[@ProudFatherMusic]

7:08 move to the groove move to the groove yeah

[@flamesintheattic]

I just realized this is the one most 'Detroit techno circa 1994' synths out there.

[@attilasebok7429]

0:16 B-03 Beauty Chords: can you hear the jungle rhythms too, or is it just me?😅

[@StarskyCarr]

Oh yes! They we’re running through my 🧠

[@lucaskeizer4589]

I'm on the verge of buying these for my new Pro 800. Is it easy to use the Synthribe app to update firmware and load sounds? It would be cool to have a video explaining this process!

[@thesynthfloyd]

Behringer is the Future!

[@Interstellarren]

Wow!!! 😮…WAAAAIIIIIT!!! Free patches?? On the new update!! Tears of joy!! 😢

[@Interstellarren]

When is the update coming out?

[@SparkAttack86]

Sounds great. I just got mine, and will be purchasing your patches. Out of interest for future, do you create custom patches for people? Eg, can you create various iconic sounds and put them into a pack for a cost, obviously 😅

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks… not something I’ve ever done tbh. It’d be interesting to find out what patches you had in mind. Send me an email via my website.

[@SparkAttack86]

@@StarskyCarr Hi Starsky, thanks for reply! I have sent you a message on your site. Its basically 7 patches, but specific sounds from tracks.

[@theadman95]

Sounds great! Just got the 800,, so I'm looking at these. Regarding the Keystep 37: has anyone figured out a way to hold notes or chords without having to keep your foot on a sustain pedal? The HOLD button seems to only work for the arpeggiator.

[@asbestbau]

sadly dont know, but the manual is pretty easy to get

[@OneLukeShow]

hold the notes down first, and then press the arp button, that should hold the notes for you :)

[@angeldc54]

Hi Starsky, imo you shouldn't split KZbin channels. Best.

[@fabriziocastelli946]

The sound it's Better in the behringer pro One mono or this pro 800?

[@naturesound2963]

Just one question: does a new bought (for example from "Thomann") *P 800* include already the latest .. and for sure very important .. updates already?

[@StarskyCarr]

Maybe .. maybe not but it’s super simple to update using the SYNTHTRIBE app. Not an issue whatsoever.

[@magusreaver]

The big B has a get a spike in sales after your videos with them drop.

[@prinsnilsson]

Amazing sounds! Just bought one, are these patches included with the new firmware?

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks… these were created using it, they are mine - not factory.

[@Grant82gc]

protip: run some software on your PC/mac that allows you to put plugin's on your system audio. I put polyverse wider on my system audio to add stereo width so i can see how this will sound in a mix.

[@StarskyCarr]

It’s funny how lots get annoyed with effects - they want to hear it raw and think fx are hiding the sound - and other who want it here them with FX. I now do less tones but with/without. … I still get comments 😂👍

[@gacekwilkooki]

Sounds like a little synthwave machine. ;)

[@StarskyCarr]

It does it very well.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Can't believe these aren't sold in the US.

[@Imetalman2000]

I’m over here hoping my JT-4000 is gonna be enough for my polyphonic needs. 😅.

[@StarskyCarr]

I hate to say jt, as I don’t want to empty your bank account. but this is rather good.

[@OldHomeRecording]

hı I think this device is mono. What connection did you use for stereo sound? Or did you use stereo reverb while recording?

[@StarskyCarr]

It’ll just be a stereo reverb plugin.

[@RealityShiftUK]

Pretty sure it does but does this come with presets? I’m bad at making sounds haha

[@StarskyCarr]

Yes it’s comes with 100 patches… and then you can buy my 100 as well! The factory patches are the originals from the 80s so can be a bit lacklustre. If you like oboes and flutes though… 😂

[@RealityShiftUK]

@@StarskyCarr nice will definitly consider it

[@mortenmathisen9071]

Not to mention nylon guitars and english horns!

[@amsterdamned6209]

Whns!

[@HermanvanGelder]

just bought your patches. I love having a couple to get me started. Do i have to install them separately?1

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks.. hope you enjoy them. Use the SYNTHTRIBE app to load them to the synth. There’s one larger file that’s the whole bank of 100 presets. If you load bank into B C or D on the synth you won’t overwrite the factory sounds. Ir you can load one at a time wherever you like.

[@HermanvanGelder]

@@StarskyCarr THX. I din't notice one was bigger and named " bank". I'm all set now

[@djzonque4770]

Can you tell me how many presets are in this machine? (in factory settings)

[@StarskyCarr]

100

[@djzonque4770]

Thanks. Was a little confused by hearing the same sounds (while scrolling through bank B..) What an unit..think this one is gnarly as f***

[@TechnoAssassin-vx6zf]

Just bagged one for 238 duckets…..brand new!! That’ll appease my GAS for a few months 😬😬🙈😂

[@StarskyCarr]

Wow…. Amazing value

[@TechnoAssassin-vx6zf]

@ I was gonna grab a gray meanie which is at 359 at a certain store, which is an absolute steal, but I just don’t have the desk space for something that big…….hopefully next year, I will be in a bigger space to pick one up 😬😬🙈😂🤣

[@Thusila234]

Looks a bit like the analog virus ti

[@JAAPIOJO]

Is this better than the pro-1?

[@StarskyCarr]

It’s different. But if I were to buy one my one it would be this purely because it’s more flexible

[@alanhaynes418]

Everything is drowned in reverb. I know what reverb sounds like, and most synth demos on YT are covered in it. I want to know what the dry synth sounds like 'cos if it needs masses of effects to sound good, I'll go elsewhere. My Waldorf M sounds fantastic without any effects and I often record it dry. Does this sound weak dry?

[@StarskyCarr]

No, it sounds like the Prophet 600 - watch my other demos. I’ve got you covered there in a fair few videos already. I put the reverb in to show what the sounds will be like in the mix, which is what most ask for when listening to patches. Watch any patch bank advert and it’ll have Fx on for that very reason. I’ll upload to my other channel @starskysounds the Fx free version. Btw I wouldn’t say setting a 10-15% mix of a very standard hall reverb as drowning them.

[@StarskyCarr]

here's the no fx version... just for you ;)

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

Проблема не в том, что в 80-90-е у бедных не хватало денег на дорогие инструменты. Проблема в том, что и тогда, и сегодня, когда Proohet, Moog и Jupiter стали доступными для всех желающих, хорошая музыка не пользуется спросом. Это во-первых. А во-вторых, даже обладая самыми дорогими синтезаторами, богатые и бедные их владельцы не чувствуют божественной материи - не умеют нащупать правильные звуки, тембры, патчи, совместить их с соответствующим правильным настроением.

[@RamJam-r9o]

It's true

[@saxmidiman]

If you really want to showcase a synth, do it w/o reverb. My Prophet 12 has 4 Delay lines, but no reverb. I use the delay lines Sparingly. NO REVERB unless for an ambient drone or two!!!😶‍🌫😎

[@StarskyCarr]

I’ve done other videos with it raw… where people say it would be better with reverb to hear how it sounds in a mix. I can’t win so did both.

[@saxmidiman]

@@StarskyCarr I get it. Thanks.

[@DankePlace]

It's a good sounding synth, just not for me. Had they included the DM12 FX engine, it could have been something that I would have been interested in. This would have taken away the purist approach though, they made the right decision to leave off the FX section, but not the reason for me to buy.

[@RealityShiftUK]

Yeah fx is always a bonus with synths

[@UliAfroman]

Why, just why support Behringer? 😢

[@StarskyCarr]

That’s a rather odd perspective to me. I’m helping the people that have bought it. I bought it myself solely to show if it lived up to the marketing claims … and I demo’d its shortcomings. They have since mainly been addressed, possibly in part due to my detailed comparison. Those customers now have a better product. I have sounds here that show some more range of tones that can make the experience even better for them. I’m steering clear of the rest of it. I’m just a guy with a camera - helping people to understand what they’ve spent their cash on. Im not a major marketing corporation or media empire. So many people have asked, and I even did a poll where more people wanted to see it than not. I certainly don’t want to be a punchbag in someone else’s fight, but unfortunately there are people for whom even the mention of Behringer is a cancellation offence. If I ignore them I’m ignoring the people that want to know if the products are any good. So I am becoming a punchbag, stuck in the middle. I could just drop it and go with the flow, but that leaves others in the dark 🤷‍♂️ They’re not going to stop making these things. They’re the top selling products, far cheaper than others, and as such there are lots of skint people buying them. I don’t agree with tonnes of stuff they’ve done, but also don’t agree with letting others fend for themselves either. I really don’t want music to be elitist. The little guy always gets shafted and I’m supporting all the kids that can’t afford other brands. And I know everything’s fraught with hypocrisy and double standards and there’s nothing I can say to appease anyone (if the internet has showed anything it’s showed that you’ll never change anyone’s mind). Anything I or anyone else says on any side of a discussion will be picked apart, misinterpreted, ignored, belittled etc. so whatever I do I’ll get grief from someone. Hey ho….

[@UliAfroman]

@@StarskyCarr I really understand your position, but I think this is part of the Problem. If KZbinrs and other Musicians go on and support Behringer in what they do, they won't stop. And it is unnecessary if you supported Behringer in the past or future, if you say a wrong word they probably try to shut you up. In my opinion there are so much better things for people with less money to make good synth music without Behringer, and this is what should be supported more. For example GAS-Therapy, the whole Channel is about not buying expensive gear and make music anyway

[@DankePlace]

@@UliAfroman your issue is that you're using politics to drive a narrative, where what Starsky is doing is showing people what the synth sounds like. So in a twist of irony, how B has tried to control a narrative before, you're trying to do now, so in essence, you're no better than B? Many just don't care, people just want to make music, some can't afford the real thing so just buy what they can. Do you own an Iphone?

[@CentaurusRelax314]

@@UliAfromanThey won’t stop _what?_ Making affordable analog synths?

[@EnervatedSociety]

@@UliAfroman They don't even need KZbinrs, like at all, though I'm sure they appreciate it anyways. They have 700K people's ear on FB alone. This synth got 50K pre-orders, right after introducing it. People will still buy their gear no matter how many KZbinrs or randoms don't like them, just like millions of people will continue to buy things they know involve slave labor or worst. People want what they want. Especially at these ridiculously good prices.
