Swumpf's Behringer Pro-800 Editor Introduction/Tutorial

Here's a quickstart, tutorial-ish thingy on how to use the Behringer Pro-800 editor.

Absolutely fantastic... My Pro-800 is on its way to me and I will most certainly be using this. The menu on the actual device seemed quite awful and I was not looking forward to learning it so this editor will be a complete game changer. Thanks for your work!

AMAZING! The community thanks you!!

amazing work on this editor/librarian thank you

Just got the 800, and am looking at this. Thanks for your work on this - it looks well thought out, and I'm sure it was a lot of work! 2 questions: Does this interface seamlessly with all of the 3rd party sound banks for the 800? That is, does the editor automatically recognize and load the commercial sound banks? I am interested in this mainly as a librarian, not so much for editing. Also: has anyone figured out how to overwrite the factory bank A? Is that possible? Most of it is pretty lame, and there are so many interesting sound banks out there that it would be a shame to have to keep all those sounds. Thanks!

Hello! Tid works perfect with any soundbank. There’s no difference between “commercial” and own presets, they’re all just syx-files. 👍 And yes, Bank A is no different than the other banks. You can overwrite anything with anything. 👌

Hi, I've been using it for about a month now and it's a great editor. However, when used at the same time as a DAW (Studio One), if the DAW starts or stops, the tone being edited will be discarded and the currently selected program will be forcibly reloaded. This makes it difficult to use it in conjunction with a DAW while editing. Is there any workaround? MacStudio OS13.1 Chrome Studio One

[@bjornlohmander7431]

Hello! I’ve never used Studio One but this is most definitely a setting inside there that resets or sends MIDI as a trigger to play/stop. I’d look in MIDI settings and see if there’s some clues to this there. Maybe, for example, Studio One MIDI recordings also contain program change CC. Best of luck and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for an amazing tool! I have some bug that when I save my patch the LFO changes from Triangle to Pulse.

[@bjornlohmander7431]

Sorry for the late reply. I can't recreate this issue. Are you on the latest firmware?

[@svenbrode260]

The editor works but only using the save function. I dont seem the get the live update to work. any ideas? This is using MacOs and chrome browser

[@bjornlohmander7431]

Hello! Not sure, so there's no communication between the unit and the editor except save and load? That tells me it's related you CC rather than SysEx. So my best guess is that you aren't using midi channel 1 or maybe that you've changed the Midi Settings in the unit's menu/Synthtribe app. Make sure you have both receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) on. Let me know how it works!

@@bjornlohmander7431 I had the same problem, and it was because I was using a different MIDI Ch. Thanks for the suggestion

Why have an editor for such a simple synth?

[@bjornlohmander7431]

I would’t say this is simpler than any other vintage poly. Among other things, an editor and librarian are very helpful since many features are in menus.

To make an easier and faster workflow by eliminating menu diving with a single button press.
