My 2 cents: Behringer's Pro-800 delivers that typical 80s vintage sound to a studio but offers enough to create exciting sounds for contemporary music. In depth sound design is a bit limited but that's something you have to deal with in most of the vintage synths, too. And to be fair, we are talking about a 400 € / $ polysynth with 8 voices. Build quality is ok, although I'm not a big fan of those foil push buttons.
Here are some downsides that have been or might be resolved in future updates:
- slow envelopes are reeeeeally slow. UPDATE: This issue has been resolved with the latest firmware upgrade 1.26 and the envelopes are way snappier, now.
- Patch organization and editing with the Synthtribe App don't work, yet. But there is a free patch editor online that works
- Mono Out. Yes, it's the same with many vintage synths and even the super heavy priced Deckard's dream is only mono. But I'd really liked to see a stereo out with variable panorama settings per voice.
TLDR: Fantastic poly analogue on a budget and if you don't mind the flaws (or hoping for an update), go for it!
Behringer was asking if users wanted faster envelopes, they said this could be fixed in a new firmware.
@@Donetur That would be fantastic but as companies are promising a lot without delivering nowadays, I'm generally very sceptical in that regard.
But that's fine - if the PRO-800 is behaving like the original, then maybe it's just not for me. I might get it later, once this has been fixed.
@@limbicbits supposedly there are some envelope curve setting/adjustments. can you confirm if you've tried these as well and even the alternative ones are too slow? cheers
@@racalik Yes. In fact, a lot of the presets in this video use the "faster" ones
Not ready for preset release yet? :)
Damn! This sounds soooo nice!
This synths gonna be der on my wishlist.
I pulled the trigger on the Pro-800 yesterday. Just came across your video today. Great patches here! It makes me even more excited about the purchase! I'll definitely be looking out for preset packs in the future.
you are creatively bankrupt. just give up and save your parents the embarrassment. If this is gonna be your source for amazing sounds on your next hit album. a synth with millions of free sounds since the stone age...you know you can just look at profit 600 sounds right? If you aren't willing to do any work i can only imagine what your music sounds like. Im disappointment in you.
@@NathanHassall I'm not sure what triggered that, ahem, morally bankrupt reaction. My comment was in support of the video demo of the then just released Pro-800 back when there was a dearth of content available on it. I can see you are putting your abundant creativity to good use trolling 9 month old CZcams comments. Bravo.
the 2nd sound reminded me of "ready lets go" by Boards Of Canada.
wow thanks for that Demo 👏🏻🔥
Very good demo, thanks.
Can't wait to get mine!!!!
Nice presentation and production value.
It reminds me how much I love my MS-1 😊
Ive listend to this multiple times, love it! gotta snag a couple of these
Radness - thanks for this !
I like that you didn't go nuts with the reverb.
Now they nailed it!
Except for the cheap, membrane switches and small patch memory. It sounds great though
great sequencing!
Another great demo. And what's sounding like the best value poly synth of all time.
good demo. the fx let it shine
Good raw analogue sound 👍🏻
Those envelopes are so slow!
dig it
Reat patches. Loved the organ near the start
how does this compare to the dreadbox nymphes, soundwise?
Lovely video as per usual. How do you find this compared to the Nymphes? I find the sound to hit within the same spot to my ears. Warm and vintage. The UI of the Nymphes looks daunting compared to this. Can you weigh in on these considerations?
It's been a while since I've been using the Nymphes. I'd tend to say that I liked its sound better than the PRO-800's but that's just my taste. I find the PRO-800 to be a bit more on the brassy side (typical for the prophet) which is something I've always been struggling with. But if you're into that sound, perfect!
With the UI you've mentioned an important point as there are a lot of functions hidden in the Nymphes. But same here: You have to use combos to get access to a lot of hidden parameters (LFO wave, speed, envelope character etc).
That's fine and it's solved a bit better on the PRO-800 than on the Nymphes as the latter lacks a display what makes things a bit complicated, sometimes.
On the other hand, with the Nymphes you get BPM-syncable LFOs, two LFOs instead of one and other features that make Nymphes a bit more useful in modern setups.
@@limbicbits Thank you so, so much for the thorough response. You hit the nail on it's head in terms of considerations. I might just order them both and try them side-by-side before returning one of them - but rest assure I'll be purchasing the sound pack for the one I keep. Your work is - as always - stellar :) Again: thanks.
Very nice demo....definitely sounds a bit different than my pro one, in the upper registers...Bass is fat like the Pro One...
I honestly havent gotten around to use my pro1 much and wonder if selling it to get this would be a better option? Not that something with the pro1 is wrong, just didnt find much use yet for my songs
If you don't use it, then let it go. Being surrounded by too many things is just distraction, imo. The only thing is that the PRO-800 wouldn't be a good replacement for the Pro-1 as that one optimised for basses and leads whereas the PRO-800 shines when it comes to pads.
@@limbicbits thanks man, guess that sums it up pretty well...will def have to give it some serious thought, dont have much more space either atm 😆
17:05 My favorite
Hey Limbic great patches. Have you got them ready yet for sale? Im going to buy your book as its just what i need to write some electronic music. Cheers
Thanks! Not yet. I suppose, that the pack will be released in October or late September.
this sounds really nice for big pads and nasty brass I like it!
It sounds great, but the Prophet sound is available elsewhere too for not crazy money. So I'll wait on the others to be released. I think I'm still hanging on for the Oberheims; seemingly like everyone else. But sonically, it's a great teaser of what's to come with the other products in the pipeline and the price is impressively affordable. An affordable portable desktop character synth like a SEM, Synthi or Music Easel would be awesome. I think Behringer might be slightly missing the point with some of these clones. In the sense that the aren't much like the original form factor. They're missing some physical magic. Like, the Minimoog, or Prophets or Junos are iconic complete instruments that people love. People use them to write and perform on. A module is nice, but it doesn't scratch that itch for the complete instrument. They could spend some money on form-factor, aesthetics and playability maybe in some higher-end options. I'd like it if they developed their own top quality keybed and offered all of these in keyboard options, that reflect the original too. Like they did get right with the Poly D, except that it deserves a better keybed. Maybe they could pimp them up with a poly-aftertouch+ribbon option on the higher-end Oberheim polys to add a touch of higher quality. At these point, with all the great softsynth emulations, I'd rather one high quality 1k+ synth that I can really dig into, than a room full of modules that leave me feeling somewhat empty. For example, I liked the Model D's sound, but I got rid of it and don't miss it. Whereas my Moog Grandmother, I really love and can centre my modular around it. Lastly, I think the pure analog clone thing is a bit overdone now. Be more interested if they move on to some of the iconic hybrid synths, Prophet VS, PPG Wave. Or continue the interesting Deep Mind and develop their own frankenstein hybrid Prophet VS/Wave like a Groove Synthesis Third Wave that ordinary people can afford.
The Soundbank is available ? Great Patches !
Not yet, but there will be one. I'm still waiting for the synthtribe app to properly im-and export patches with names. Also, I'm a bit hesitating because Behringer announced that they'd release another update that might affect how presets sound.
0:28 there is no external effects?
correct. You can see the effect in action when the red led is lit (and the FX amount poti is above 0)
Pretty convincing acid sounds.. what filter did they put into this? :D
Curtis filters
Sounds like perfect synthwave machine
0:59 boards of canada vibes yo
funny, the Rooms costs more than the synth... but it´s crazy good. You can make an ambient soundscape out of a fart.
I want the pro 16
How did you get this so early?!
One of the early adopters thankfully loaned me his unit. (First shipment has already been sent out.)
@@limbicbitsnice
Rival Consoles’ sound on a budget.
Yip, I think you're right. There was a good interview on Why We Bleep with Mylar Melodies and seems the (DSI) Prophet (Rev1 and 2) has been the core of his sound. And there's a sprinkling of Odyssey (Korg version). Plus some Moog sounds (Voyager in the past, judging from his track titles, and now Matriarch). Another great producer who made great use of DSI Prophet is Steve Hauschildt. Thinks it's his main synth. Then he uses a gaggle of great fx pedals. And what I find is it does that twinkly detailed synth sound really well, and it's high end sits super nicely above the low end of a Moog. And an Odyssey is glorious in the growly, searing or vocal mids. I miss my Korg Odyssey module. Need to rebuy one to slot between Grandmother and Take 5.
Is it possible to buy this soundbank? It sounds awesome!
Thanks!
The Synthtribe app is still buggy when it comes to naming preset and to importing / exporting flawlessly. Once these bugs have been solved, this sound pack will be available for purchase.
This dude knows how to program a synth
19.13 Anthony is it you ?
...a little hommage
To use this professionally, add the price of a great feeling, full size midi controller, and an FX unit. You’ll be close to the pice of a Sequential Take 5, which sounds way better!😮
Akai MPK 249 $469, Strymon Bluesky $379 Pro 800. $399. Total is $1247. Take 5 is $1499 brand new. Find a B stock, and it’s a wash. Take 5: better sound, better build quality, put it in a case, take it to a gig, bam, done! 😮😮
...or use the MIDI controller that's already in your DAW-based setup, add some plugins, and save some studio real estate. Please don't get me wrong, Take 5 is a fantastic synth, but IMO also has a slightly different approach.
But I've to say that a Take 5 would also need a decent effect unit as the internal effects aren't very good.
I have the take 5 and I am getting this for sure,the 2 pieces don’t feel at all comparable,the FX on the take 5 are rubbish so you will need to spend extra,99% of people buying this already have a keyboard they like,you are comparing $1500 to $400
Sounds fantastic tbh but I just can’t support Behringer, cheap is great for my bank account but bad for the planet and likely the employees. Somewhere the price points come with repercussions.
You can apply that analogy to probably 90% of manufactured goods in your home. I agree with you though, we in the West have sown the seeds of our own demise. I think we should all seriously consider learning Mandarin, the West is financially and morally bankrupt.
Cheap doesn't mean lower wages to the employees.
Look at Moog with their premium prices and still many of the Moog employees got very litlle of the Money in return and you would have thought that they made lots of Money based on their pricing.
If you can manufacture your products Cheap enough then there is huge profit even in lower priced products which Musictribe can since they own one CEM Chip factory (Cool audio).
@@GNeuman I agree and do. I own very little, often out of snobbery but I’d rather own something I really want than just own something. But of course I don’t always win that battle and have contributed to less noble causes. Generally speaking though I’d just rather have less and better things in my life.
The employees are probably treated poorly by our standards, but not by theirs.
Behringer provide the gateway drugs into hardware, everybody benefits in the long term.
@@justsayingnow You use bad purchases to defend more bad purchases, got it… so as long as people own a cell phone they should buy poorly made products from a companies selling them so cheap it’s got to be impossible to pay a fair wage. And they should buy as many as possible. We do know they all get a poor wage (Apple etc.), so what’s the difference if it’s even worse right? So yeah, I do see what you’re getting at. You realize you actually HAVE to own a phone in the modern world yeah? You’re not even employable without a contact number. Now tell me how you need a budget synth. I own an iPhone since you asked. My synths are from Sequential, Elektron and Nord. I believe in buying less and buying better but I do need a phone and when there is a phone I can buy, made from companies with the same integrity as my synths, I’ll buy that too. Now for people who don’t have the option of affording something from Moog or Sequential etc… I don’t judge them on their purchases. Actually not judging anyone on their purchases. But I don’t buy like that and your argument was bland.
What do you say to all the haters of Behringer after using this synth??? I guess u say. Just listen. Relax and RIP Moog. Behringer wins the business model wars.
Didn't knew that this is a war against certain companies, because of personal preferences. You're like a xbox player, who is hatin on playstation instead of enjoying gaming
@@PLA.net-DANTE who hating? Its just business. Their war i love em all
You need to chill man. Go for a walk.
@@The_Invisible_Man 😎just got back from a nice hike. Pro 800 sounds great doesnt it? Limboc Bits really did a great video here.
Not everyone wants the cheapest possible synth and materials , silly.
i'm sold
