So you had to take out the rubber pieces and replace them with the product (Vaseline etc.) or did you have to apply the Vaseline to the rubber pieces? There's a jump in the video that makes me think the actual instructions are missing or maybe I missed something. Either way, thanks for posting this! I just got my hands on a VFX SD that was internally upgraded to an SD-1 32 and the aftertouch on the black keys is great but it only works on the white keys if you do it up close to the chassis between the black keys etc.

One of the best "demos" of the P800 out there ,well played and programmed.And as for your opinion about Behringer and their "cloning" of vintage synths ,agree that they are replicas ,not clones,like a software emulation in a computer, but in Behringers case made out of hardware parts.

Really nice sounds from an incredible machine. The sounds for the price are just fantastic. The Poly Mod section is slightly lacking from a full Prophet 5 but it's mostly the same machine, especially now with noise that the P600 lacked without the Gligli mod.
@HrWisch

The Pro 16 is still in development and will have all the features of a Prophet 5. Until then, the Pro 800 brings a lot of the sounds for less than 400€. If you can't wait, Dave Smith will happily deliver a selection of amazing synth with original Prophet DNA. Ok, it's another price range but also another level of build quality. The great thing today is you have all those options to choose from.

@@HrWisch Indeed. I'd never substitute my original Rev 3 Prophet 5 for some sounds only a P5 can get, but the 800 works amazingly for most stuff.

I have the unit. Yeah, sounds very retro! Did you've tried the latest FW? I'm not sure that mine is the last. I've found that Polymod depth is not deep enough. So I'm just hoping that they will fix it. It could be an option (with a multiplier). Sysex has at least one free value (I've checked) if not more (depends on the size they've chosen).

@synthmaniak
@synthmaniak 2 месяца назад
Hi there, I have the Behringer DM-12 snd made at same point I might make sound comparison, In mean time,,Pro 800 8 voices, mono out and don't have any of FX,, plus sonically sounds closer to the Prophet 600/ Prophet 5 with I preferred. If II nee to pick the winner, I preferred, as for only sound alone I will pick Pro-800. As for Deep Mind 12 have12 voices of polyphony, Lcd screen and stereo out's. But the bigger advantage of DM-12 is the bill in FX. Biocide's they just sounds different, so to compassion will be hard. With the DM-12 is passable create big pads and wider stereo feel and sounds closer to tone of Juno 106 The Pro 800 just sounds good and sounds closer to prophet-600 /5 I hope that this will answer your question
@swanofnutella4734
@swanofnutella4734 2 месяца назад
My two cents: I think the DM12 is a good "gigging" synth, with the built in FX and low financial accident risk. The Pro-800 is better for bedroom song-smithing. Layering mono tracks with more sound shaping at the oscillators, and adding FX, when needed, later in the workflow, potentially from more curated sources.

Hi Mitch you maked a good demo, it always a pleasure for me to hear and see somebody able to play a kayboard 😉 I am agree with you, firstall the Pro 800 sound I think it's like much more Prophet 5 Rev3 than Pro 600, becouse 3340 VCO and 3320 VCF clone there's inside. Not Pro 600 components IC was replicated in Pro 800. For this way it imitate the all synthesizers where 3340 VCO and 3320 VCF Cem was installed: OB-Xa OB-8 OB-SX Elka Synthex (3320 VCF) Crumar Spirit (3340 VCO) and many others synth used 3340 VCO. I hope to buy it soon 😊

It does sound close to my Prophet 5 Rev 3, you are correct. Worth buying for sure, maybe even buy two, do a master detune, and get a stereo system without using any pedals. I've been toying with the idea of buying a second one just for that reason alone.

How did you program some of these patches? These sound much smoother and less harsh than most of the other videos I've heard with this synth.
@synthmaniak
@synthmaniak 2 месяца назад
To answer your question, it takes decades of sound programming experience. And sonic is the one even as digital when mix the wave level with combination of envelope, 1.2.3 as well LFO’s that can make sound more organic closer to analog behavior. I’ll learn how to use the strength of the synthesizer and not too much on the weaker side.

This is my favorite synth ever. The piano sounds aren't convincing, and the 80s drums are sub par at best. So, why do i love this synth so much? Simple, this synth really shines with its strings, basses, leads, pads & synthpop analog style sounds. Think Erasure & Depeche Mode. Very warm. It also has the easiest and best on board sequencer ever. I've written hundreds of songs on it.

This was the first bitimbral synth with preset memory (which the Prophet did have). It was revolutionary at the time. So now this iteration has 16 voices and poly aftertouch. Better than vintage and very affordable. No effects keeps the price down. I really want one to pair with my Kronos. It will force me to finally learn how to connect external synth to Kronos excellent effects. And also finally control Kronos with polyphonic aftertouch. Its many synth engines respond to it. Kronos aftertouch is too hard for me, like Roland it requires too much effort. Plus, metal body synth with wooden side panels will look good above my Kronos. Plus, cheaper than Hydrasynth with same voice count. I really want one.
