BehringerPRO-800 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

Behringer PRO-800

Perform nostalgic leads and lush pads with the Behringer Pro-800, a desktop analog polyphonic synthesizer that faithfully recreates the sound of the first commercial synth ever to be released with MIDI capabilities. Expanded to eight voices, the Pro-800 features an all analog signal path with authentic VCO, VCF, and VCA designs to accurately capture the sound of the original unit. Now in a compact desktop form factor and at an affordable price point, the Pro-800 makes these nostalgic tones from the heydays of synth pop accessible to a new generation of musicians.

The Pro-800 is a formidable synthesizer capable of creating diverse and musical tones. Each voice is equipped with two VCOs that can be independently tuned or synchronized to one another, enabling fat detuned sounds and electrifying sync leads. Play polyphonically or with massive, 16-voice unison sound, and dial in the perfect timbre for your needs with multiple waveshapes, PWM, and the legendary 4-pole resonant filter. ADSR envelopes for the VCF and VCA help add nuance to your notes, while a dedicated LFO offers additional modulation. Use the Poly Mod feature to modulate oscillator A frequency or filter cutoff with oscillator B, adding audio-rate modulations to bring out complex tones.

Onboard the Pro-800, an arpeggiator helps create rhythmic melodic material while you play, or use the polyphonic two track sequencer to compose specific musical gestures. The unique polyphonic glide feature captures the creative quirks of the original device, from subtle bends to far-out effects. The Pro-800 also features a rare additional noise generator only found on hard to find Japanese-only versions of the original, bringing this unobtainable tool to any musician. Finally, the Pro-800 features an expansive memory system of up to 400 patches, perfect for both on-stage performance and storing your favorite go-to studio sounds. With robust analog sound and vintage appeal in a modern format fit for today's musicians, Behringer's Pro-800 is a great addition to any studio or stage set-up.
