The Behringer PRO-800 Analog 8-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer is a classic synthesizer and authentic reproduction of the Prophet 600. It features a pure analog signal path with VCO, VCF, and VCA designs. Each voice has two VCOs for fat and detuned sounds, as well as unison mode for fat oscillator lead and bass sounds.
One of its notable features is the POLY MOD function, where OSC B and the filter envelope can modulate OSC A’s frequency and filter cutoff. It also has a dedicated LFO with 6 waveform shapes that can modulate the pulse width and pitch of the oscillators and filter cutoff frequency. The synth includes two ADSR envelope generators for modulating the VCF and VCA settings. There is also an arpeggiator with up/down and key-assign modes, along with a polyphonic 2-track sequencer for creating interesting sequences.
The PRO-800 provides ample storage space with 400 user program memories, allowing users to save their favorite patches. It also features a unique MMI 6E3.1 noise generator found only in the original rare Japanese version. Additionally, it has polyphonic glide, which enables users to create subtle portamento effects or extreme gliding effects.
The PRO-800 synthesizer has a classic design enhanced for modern use. It utilizes the original designs of essential components like VCOs, VCFs, and VCAs. These components are iconic and have made synthesizers like the Prophet 600 highly coveted. The synth’s eight voices each have two VCOs, resulting in powerful detuned sounds. The Unison mode allows for 16-oscillator lead and bass sounds. Users can choose from six oscillator shapes and modify them independently for bold solos or massive bass tones. The “POLY MOD” feature enables OSC B to modulate OSC A, making it easier to create distinctive soundscapes.
With the PRO-800, users no longer have to struggle to remember ideas during live performances. It can store up to 400 patches, and users can easily access their desired patch by entering the program number on the keypad, ensuring flawless performances.
The PRO-800 synthesizer includes various features such as a pure analog signal path, 2 VCOs per voice, unison mode, multiple oscillator shapes, a classic 4-pole filter design, the “POLY MOD” function, a dedicated LFO, ADSR envelope generators, an arpeggiator, a polyphonic 2-track sequencer, ample patch storage, a unique noise generator, polyphonic glide, and chord memory.
It also comes with a comprehensive MIDI implementation, including NRPN/CC control of all parameters and bulk load/save capabilities. The synthesizer’s specifications include 8 voices, 2 oscillators per voice, 1 LFO, 1 VCF, VCA envelopes, and various connectivity options.
The PRO-800 synthesizer has physical dimensions of 96.6 x 424.4 x 135.6 mm and weighs 1645 g. It is also compatible with Eurorack modules.
