Behringer PRO-800 pt 4: Strings & pads sounds

[@patriciaoudart1508]

This part is very evocative about the possibilities of this synth, thank you!🙏🧡💚

[@ericMT]

The strings and pads are the main reason I wanted a Pro-800. It sounds so good.

[@patsonmusic]

It sounds very good indeed!

[@yavamaystudio8045]

Not remains any string at all

[@patsonmusic]

@@yavamaystudio8045 I'm sorry but I did not understand what you mean?

Excellent synth, mine finally came this week along with a K2. I have the Model D, Neutron, 2600, Pro 1 and RD8 drum machine. My eyes are now on the Deepmind!

[@patsonmusic]

You seem to have a great set of synths right there for making music, maybe you don't really need the Deepmind?

[@lundsweden]

He only has monos, obviously he wants a poly. I was tempted by the Deepmind, but love the Pro-800's small form factor and VCOs!

[@patsonmusic]

@@lundswedenOf course, did not realise all were monos! Well, hard to beat P800 for the price, but the Deepmind is more versatile. Maybe it comes down to what sound he prefers.

[@Timie81]

Hey guys ! I had the Deepmind for several weeks and sold it back. It's a good synth but kind of difficult to handle. The Pro 800 appears to be easier to grasp, plus it has VCOs which makes it less "cold" than the Deepmind 😉

[@patsonmusic]

@@Timie81 Yes, Pro-800 is easier to use than Deepmind, where DM is more versatile. As a beginner's synth Pro-800 is probably a better choice. I haven't tested DM myself, so I can't really say anything about how it sounds, but the Pro-800 sounds great! Congrats on your purchase!

[@jamesgibby8818]

hey dude im curious, I have a Roland JU-06A right now and want to sell it and get the pro 800. do they over lap enough in terms of sound to not need both?

[@patsonmusic]

Somewhat overlapping, but the Pro-800 with it's two oscillators and two envelopes is more flexible. JU-06A is hard to beat for nice pads, but the drawback is 4-voice polyphony so you really have to think how you play it to avoid cut notes. As you know 800 is 8-voice. 800 has a rawer sound. I think I would choose the 800 if I had to choose only one of them, but I like them both a lot. Good to keep in mind that the 800 has no effects at all, where the JU has delay and chorus. I will keep both mine.

[@jamesgibby8818]

@@patsonmusic Yeah my biggest issue with the JU-O6A is the 4 voices. So yes the 8 voices is very enticing to me. Thanks for your thoughts!!

[@patsonmusic]

@@jamesgibby8818 And adding to this, the JU has a nice, simple and effective arpeggiator! 🙂

[@jamesgibby8818]

@@patsonmusic so true!

[@adytech5788]

We cannot feel the same vibes with VSTi , there is emotions ...im glad all theses rare synth cost a penny now :)

[@patsonmusic]

Agreed! The originals are both expensive and need maintenance, out of reach for most of us.

[@pablolarosa5]

Out of curiosity - do you have custom wood side panels on the P800 and if so where did you get them?

[@patsonmusic]

No, these are standard out-of-the-box panels, and they look very nice! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@unknown-ub9rz]

Very nice... sounds like Led Zeppelin "In Through the Out Door" sounds

[@patsonmusic]

Oh, I need to give that album a listen then!

[@TheShaktube]

I have the Roland FA and the Pro800 too which (don't tell the wife) is like a belt and suspenders as the FA pads and strings are superb. Having said that i dont think the Pro800 is getting returned.

[@patsonmusic]

Roland FA is very versatile and a nice keyboard for live use! Pro-800 is different and so organic, instant early 80s vibes with a twist of horror or dystopian movie soundtrack right there! Great value for the money!

[@synthebo]

I love it!!❤❤

[@jeffreyjbyron]

Does it accept midi cc for all parameters?

[@patsonmusic]

It should, but MIDI specifications are not public yet, I think.

[@cbass909]

Hye users ! Only 100 original prophet 600 presets in A bank? 300 others locations are Blank presets?

[@patsonmusic]

Yes, that is correct!

[@prongs0611]

Hi, I love this video and all the sounds you've shown. Just a quick question as I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to synths - if I baught this, how does it connect to a keyboard? And what kind of keyboard would I need to use? Thanks in advance !

[@patsonmusic]

Thanks for watching! You can hook any keyboard with traditional MIDI outputs (5-pin din cable) from OUT to the MIDI IN on the PRO-800. Set the keyboard to the same MIDI channel as the PRO-800 and there you go. I would recommend a keyboard that is velocity sensitive (almost all keyboards nowadays), but if it has aftertouch too, it is nice to be able to press keys harder and make the sound change a little in pitch or increase cutoff (but that gets interesting when you are more familiar with the synth and learned more about synthesis). Anyway I think the PRO-800 is a good synth to learn basics in synthesis and what parameters affects what part of the sound, since almost everything is laid out in front of you - and you don't need to do so much meny diving, when adjusting the sound and its parameters. You can also hook the PRO-800 to a computer using a USB cable and connect a keyboard to your computer, but then you always need to have the computer turned on to play it.

[@GioMilko]

What was the name of this song at 3:44 ? :) Nice stuff mate!

[@patsonmusic]

Thanks! That is the intro to Madonna's Papa Don't Preach, but playing it out of my rusty memory 😀

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

Клавиатура подключена непосредственно к синтезатору?

[@patsonmusic]

Yes, directly connected with a MIDI cable.

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

@@patsonmusic Большое спасибо! Thank you very much)))

[@panutalus]

Nice demo, but to be honest, I believe it's the chorus effect that doesn't make any justice as it makes very phasing like sound into everything you play.

[@patsonmusic]

Thanks! Hmm, I've actually tried to give the sound a small scent of chorus. Now I gave a listen on my living room stereo system, and I can here some phasing happening. Seems stronger with higher cutoffs. Some of it seems to come from the oscs hitting on each other, and maybe also the LFO. Maybe I have to do a chorus free session, with only some reverb 😊
