Behringer PRO~800 - no talking - just playing

[@billmcnelis5999]

SHRED!!! I just ordered mine today! For $120 more than the Pro-1 you get patch memory, a better sounding filter (imo), CC data transmit and receive, and oh yeah I almost forgot, *8 freaking analog voices!*

[@PabloQuinterro]

Wow this sounds amazing and for the price! Thank you for this demonstration. Awesome playing and presets are great!

[@klstay]

I do not see how they will possibly be able to make enough of these. At the price I almost certainly must have 2 of them for "twin" and related bi-timbral patches and binaural stuff. Phenomenal demo.

[@Gainn]

I've got two on order, and loads of people that I've spoken to are getting at least two. Tempted to get 4 to do both binaural and bi-timbral at the same time. 😵‍💫

[@uv77mc85]

You could just buy a used prophet rev2 for not much more than 2 of these. That does bi timbral. One of these is a cheap polysynth but 2 doesn't really make financial sense.

[@klstay]

@@uv77mc85 the cheapest I have seen 8 voice rev 2 desktops for is $1350 with a couple hundred more for 16 voice. For me personally a big draw would be having the settings for both layers (would have to be a "live" patch not just recalled) right there on the knobs in front of you. IMHO that is what could make the Super Gemini such a compelling synth among other things.

Well Synth King, what do you have to say about the Pro-800? Are you pleased? Is it what you hoped for? Tell us!

[@Bernd_Bruening]

As if you listened to what I have to say ;-) Great synth, probably the best polyphonic synth you can get for the money. Show me any other great sounding 8 voice polyphonic fully analog synth for 389€ and I'll buy it.

[@dez1989]

@The Synth King Thank you,Sir! A good, non-biased review. I could listen to the sounds. I know the Prophet 6. You do also, however, you have the Pro-800 in front of you. I have 4 Behringer synths, the Poly D, the VC-340, the Deepmind 12, and a Neutron, which I use with a Moog Grandmother. I could make an educated guess, but it's always better to hear it from someone that has experience with the synth itself!

[@unamacarana]

Nice one - thank you for posting.

[@Bernd_Bruening]

[@MrThecarrott]

It sounds objectively good and in the prophet ballpark. Probably the best Poly Behringer has done until now. Though it still has that Behringer "liquid" characteristic on every sound. I tried the 600, own p5 rev4 and just bought the incredible Softube Model 80. (Best Poly vst ever made for me , it's 90% There) . For 400usd, if I want characteristic and organic sound I d go for the Dreadbox Nymphes (too bad the panel)

[@Bernd_Bruening]

What is that "liquid" characteristic? Never heard of that before.

[@TiberianFiend]

Nymphes is $500 though.

[@MrThecarrott]

@@Bernd_Bruening I personally recognise it on every single synth from Behringer. I really can’t say what is that determines it. On the Behringer synths it feels like it doesn’t matter what you do, the tone has always the same “flavor” in the end , which is some kind of buzzy liquidity (don’t know how else to describe it ) . I have experienced the same with the prophet rev2 in comparison to the 6 and the 5. Rev2 keeps a quite uncharacteristic tone , doesn’t matter what you do . With the prophet 5 for example , simply by testing presets you feel like each preset is like a sweet spot of the instrument . So like very many sweet spots ,not the same with Behringer for me.

[@MrThecarrott]

@@TiberianFiend a nymphes used for 400 usd is a steal of a synth . Also 500 new ofc

[@Bernd_Bruening]

@@MrThecarrott Hmm, I can't share your impression but respect your opinion. All these things a highly subjective and cannot be generalized. Some people say that e.g. the Jupiter 6 sounds cold and thin. Well, the sounds I made for my JP6 are everything else but not cold and thin.

[@EvanGisamazing]

Uhe rePro. Softube model 80 (with fewer voices).

[@AngMoKio8]

Sounds great! Can you say something about tuning issues? Is it self-tuning, if not, how stable is the tuning?

[@Bernd_Bruening]

There aren't any tuning issues. It's very stable after about 10 minutes of warming up. You can choose between three settings how accurate the built in tuning function tunes the 8 voices. Another parameter is called "voice spread", simulating inaccuracy of the 1V per octave settings per voice. Amazing!

I don't know of any pan mod for the Pro 800. Mono is not bad and when mixing a song much easier to handle than stereo signals.

[@DankePlace]

@@Bernd_Bruening I think I was hinting to the Gligli mod for the 600, there was talk of this on GS. True mono vs stereo, I guess I am spoiled when I tinker with my Rev 2 and DM12D.

[@xray2785]

Thank you so much for this video, gets me by when I wait for my one from Thomann. I am currently in the UK. Thomann have been very unclear about what sort of power supply it comes with. Please may I ask you if your one came with a wall wart (psu integrated into the plug) or is it a laptop style “brick” with a dc wire going from brick to synth and a detachable mains lead going to mains wall socket? If it’s the latter, I can simply replace the standard mains lead with a UK one, but if it’s a wall wart, I’ll be stuck with a wobbly push-on adaptor, which I don’t want. Any clarity on this would be very helpful. Also please may I ask which country you’re in please? Many thanks. Liked and subscribed.

It's a laptop style brick with a detachable mains lead. I'm from Germany.

Can I just ask does the mains lead attach to the power supply brick using a figure 8 connector, and if so, do you think I would just be able to replace that lead with one that has a figure 8 connector one end in the UK mains plug at the other?

[@xntricity6446]

It’s mono but you can send it to a stereo effect like delay or reverb and it will really spread the sound out if that’s what you are looking for.
