Behringer Pro-800 More Sounds Only Demos 

Being poor never kept us from making music in the 90s. Where there's a will, there's a way.

​@@XanderEwaldeh it wasn't THAT hard. In the 90's i could buy a real Moog for $300-400

I’ve never thought about it from that perspective. There ARE people who are poor that still want to have great gear. Interesting.

People saying it was possible in the past… yeah. What about in THIS economy boomer?

@@ericwatson113 you've missed the point completely (cost of Moog), but making music is easier and cheaper than ever before. And it can be made without ever touching a Moog!

yeah I get that.

Think I’m about to bite the bullet on one of these. Sounds fantastic.

When is the update coming out?

Thanks… not something I’ve ever done tbh. It’d be interesting to find out what patches you had in mind. Send me an email via my website.

@@StarskyCarr Hi Starsky, thanks for reply! I have sent you a message on your site. Its basically 7 patches, but specific sounds from tracks.

It does it very well.

Oh yes! They we’re running through my 🧠

Thanks… these were created using it, they are mine - not factory.

I hate to say jt, as I don’t want to empty your bank account. but this is rather good.

sadly dont know, but the manual is pretty easy to get

hold the notes down first, and then press the arp button, that should hold the notes for you :)

It’s funny how lots get annoyed with effects - they want to hear it raw and think fx are hiding the sound - and other who want it here them with FX. I now do less tones but with/without. … I still get comments 😂👍

Thanks.. hope you enjoy them. Use the SYNTHTRIBE app to load them to the synth. There’s one larger file that’s the whole bank of 100 presets. If you load bank into B C or D on the synth you won’t overwrite the factory sounds. Ir you can load one at a time wherever you like.

@@StarskyCarr THX. I din't notice one was bigger and named " bank". I'm all set now

Maybe .. maybe not but it’s super simple to update using the SYNTHTRIBE app. Not an issue whatsoever.

why #2?

@xnslrzn it would be useful to have two so you can play two at the same time. In sequencing, both could be on different MIDI channels playing different sounds utilizing the full 8 voice polyphony instead of splitting polyphony with one unit via its internal sequencer playing two different parts.

How does this compare to all of the vintage polys you’ve had before? I think I remember you used to have JP8 and P5.

@@kujumz It can offer a ton of power. Lots of bang for the buck. It really sounds & acts like a Prophet-600. So not so much VCO but DCO vibes to me!

Yes it’s comes with 100 patches… and then you can buy my 100 as well! The factory patches are the originals from the 80s so can be a bit lacklustre. If you like oboes and flutes though… 😂

@@StarskyCarr nice will definitly consider it

Not to mention nylon guitars and english horns!

100

Thanks. Was a little confused by hearing the same sounds (while scrolling through bank B..) What an unit..think this one is gnarly as f***

It’s different. But if I were to buy one my one it would be this purely because it’s more flexible

Yeah fx is always a bonus with synths

No, it sounds like the Prophet 600 - watch my other demos. I’ve got you covered there in a fair few videos already. I put the reverb in to show what the sounds will be like in the mix, which is what most ask for when listening to patches. Watch any patch bank advert and it’ll have Fx on for that very reason. I’ll upload to my other channel @starskysounds the Fx free version. Btw I wouldn’t say setting a 10-15% mix of a very standard hall reverb as drowning them.

here's the no fx version... just for you ;)

That’s a rather odd perspective to me. I’m helping the people that have bought it. I bought it myself solely to show if it lived up to the marketing claims … and I demo’d its shortcomings. They have since mainly been addressed, possibly in part due to my detailed comparison. Those customers now have a better product. I have sounds here that show some more range of tones that can make the experience even better for them. I’m steering clear of the rest of it. I’m just a guy with a camera - helping people to understand what they’ve spent their cash on. Im not a major marketing corporation or media empire. So many people have asked, and I even did a poll where more people wanted to see it than not. I certainly don’t want to be a punchbag in someone else’s fight, but unfortunately there are people for whom even the mention of Behringer is a cancellation offence. If I ignore them I’m ignoring the people that want to know if the products are any good. So I am becoming a punchbag, stuck in the middle. I could just drop it and go with the flow, but that leaves others in the dark 🤷‍♂️ They’re not going to stop making these things. They’re the top selling products, far cheaper than others, and as such there are lots of skint people buying them. I don’t agree with tonnes of stuff they’ve done, but also don’t agree with letting others fend for themselves either. I really don’t want music to be elitist. The little guy always gets shafted and I’m supporting all the kids that can’t afford other brands. And I know everything’s fraught with hypocrisy and double standards and there’s nothing I can say to appease anyone (if the internet has showed anything it’s showed that you’ll never change anyone’s mind). Anything I or anyone else says on any side of a discussion will be picked apart, misinterpreted, ignored, belittled etc. so whatever I do I’ll get grief from someone. Hey ho….

@@StarskyCarr I really understand your position, but I think this is part of the Problem. If RU-vidrs and other Musicians go on and support Behringer in what they do, they won't stop. And it is unnecessary if you supported Behringer in the past or future, if you say a wrong word they probably try to shut you up. In my opinion there are so much better things for people with less money to make good synth music without Behringer, and this is what should be supported more. For example GAS-Therapy, the whole Channel is about not buying expensive gear and make music anyway

@@UliAfroman your issue is that you're using politics to drive a narrative, where what Starsky is doing is showing people what the synth sounds like. So in a twist of irony, how B has tried to control a narrative before, you're trying to do now, so in essence, you're no better than B? Many just don't care, people just want to make music, some can't afford the real thing so just buy what they can. Do you own an Iphone?

@@UliAfromanThey won’t stop _what?_ Making affordable analog synths?

@@UliAfroman They don't even need RU-vidrs, like at all, though I'm sure they appreciate it anyways. They have 700K people's ear on FB alone. This synth got 50K pre-orders, right after introducing it. People will still buy their gear no matter how many RU-vidrs or randoms don't like them, just like millions of people will continue to buy things they know involve slave labor or worst. People want what they want. Especially at these ridiculously good prices.
