Caution to all, if you are watching this video around 10:52 where he talks about the detune setting while using the latest 1.4.1 firmware, the detune setting is now in PREF option number 9 called "unison-spread detune"
This video could not have been done better. It was PERFECT - just got a pro 800 and this was everything you could possibly want to know explained perfectly. And I don't mean just about the pro 800. This literally could've been a tutorial on synthesis in general
I ordered pro 800 last week. My first synth. I went through so many vids on youtube. Your one is the most comprehensive and easy to undertand by a total noob like me. Thank you!
After deeply contemplating what synth i wanted as my first synth, i actually landed on this beautiful clone. Was between this, the Model D and MiniFreak, i figured this model was the right amount of easy too learn for a first hardware poly-synth and versatile enough so i still can use it in my hip hop production, these deep dives videos are GOLD - will easily cop more presets from U too support once I can ❤ your doing so much heavy lifting
Thank you for this real dive manual over this amazing synth. It´s incredible how Behringer made a 8-voice Prophet clone around 400 bucks, this changes the whole industry among manufactures.
Thank you for clear instructions on how to save my own presets. Thats all i really need at this point. Not crazy about behringers presets, so i will create my own 👍
So I get that the price point and feature set make this a great choice for a first synth. However, the total lack of anything approaching a manual, all the undocumented settings (local thru and soft midi anyone?) and the lack of a built-in keyboard have meant this budget prophet has stayed in its box since it arrived in May. 😢 Thank you for this tutorial, XNB. Its really helped to get some understanding of what it can do.
EXCELLENT video.. you are just such a natural teacher. I think the world needs a synthesis 101 training from you. :) That chapter on envelopes was so well-explained.
for anyone wondering how to just save the changes you made to a preset like B01 for example, make your changes, preset should flash, press REC, enter the number where you want to save in this case 01 and press PRESET again. note if you want to cancel the save, when you have pressed REC just press REC again
You just saved the life of my machine as I was just about to run it over with my truck. Your menu path not only works but it is also very simple. This tutorial version for saving patches is something that I could not make work despite the considerable time I spent trying. Man I was getting frustrated but I do love this little module now.
Great tutorials! I just bought a PRO-800 and this really helped me understand it a great deal more than the QSG. "Fender got it wrong in the 50s". I LOVE IT!
This was super helpful. The difficulty of the "under the hood" features has been overstated, but it definitely helps to have a visual walk through the first time. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your time and effort in putting this together. As I excitedly await delivery of my Pro 800, this video has given me a great head start to knowing my way around it when it arrives! You also explained synthesis in one of the most easy to absorb ways I have heard, very helpful. I will of course be returning here, to follow along once all the knobs are in front of me! Thanks so much once again, this is a fantastic resource!
For the sake of completion I was hoping you would mention that you can tune voices individually and even turn them off entirely (what would useful for?) the accuracy of automatic tuning, etc Perhaps there are some Easter eggs we don't know about yet ;)
I notice the one thing I want to know about isn't featured in XNB's tutorial. The voice count 1-8. Doesn't seem to have any effect. Sounds like all 8 voices on or not. And on the Swumps companion app there is just the 1 or 8 choice.
It is worth noting that Behringer does not yet allow you to roll the firmware back to an earlier version, so you might want to have a think about it before committing. I upgraded to 1.4.3 and am very happy with it, but going forward I'll probably wait. The main thing was for snappier envelopes & if you buy one today it will most likely have that upgrade.
Hey there, good to have you back, mate 👍 You're alright? Great idea to return with a deep dive into one of this year's most exciting hardware releases. Great synth and even for me as an advanced beginner quite nice to tweak. However, each time I dial in the default preset I hesitate to modify it since this single saw just sounds awesome (headphones recommended) 😂😂😂
Please, where do we find a manual for the gligli functions and settings? Thanks so much for these videos, youve helped me with my K-2 and Pro 800. I have now a roland system 1m and so hoping to sift through your videos to find some information if you have anything. youre a life saver.
My arpeggiator is not working, not getting any sound when I press any of the arps buttons, or any variation of the arps either, can't figure this one out
Great tutorial dude!! Super helpful. I just got mine the other day and updated the latest firmware, it seems everything is working except the release knob (all other envelope parameters work) when I use the release knob I can see the value changing on screen but hearing no results. Is there something I’m missing? Cheers!
Hey great video! I want to create plucky marimba type sound and im wondering if the only way to modulate the pitch is through the poly mod? This just limits my ability to use the filter envelop along with pitch modulation? if that makes sense.. if anyone has tips please shout!
Gotta admit had mine for a Month and love it but hate the original panel. Easily would have paid a $100 more for a modern panel/mod matrix and the the crave like sequencer.
Awesome video!! I have been looking for a way to control the filter with an expression pedal for months now. The "footswitch" input is a TS port i'm suspecting, and the TRS cable from the pedal just makes it act like a sustain pedal, sustaining once the pedal is halfway depressed. The midi keyboard I'm using has an expression input though, but it has no effect on the PRO800, maybe expression is unassigned out of the box? But I see no mentioning in the manual of assigning any parameters to the expression control. Maybe a 1/4 inch TRS to 3.5mm TS cable might allow the expression pedal to be plugged into the 3.5mm Filter CV in on the PRO800? Haven't tried that yet. If anyone has any tips please let me know, my search is getting desparate.
I have a Question i let it warm for 15 min get no SOUNDS AT ALL it turns on but no sounds used 2 types of speaker 2 types of head phones switched all cables and check in all the midi channels volumes up ..am i missing something ?? Or did i get a dud ? I even used a Diffrent midi keyboard controller PLEASE HELP is it just plug and play
Question-- how did you get it so the display changes and shows the value of the parameters? When I turn my dials, I only the the preset number, unless I am changing settings. This one shown here shows values whenever you change the encoders or switches. Anyone know how to make mine do that?
The more i hear this unit the more i think I’m getting OFF THE UBXA TRAIN and buying (2) of these and pair them up for true Stereo Synth Sounds because correct me if I’m wrong THERE HAVENT BEEN ANY YT UPLOADS OF THE UBXA with sounds like the PRO-800 and the lushness of the PRO-800 TBH - but if I’m wrong can someone chime in because I’m thinking getting this and the new BEHR M5-S that was just announced a few days ago and wait until ULI gets the messes fixed on the UBXA with the BEHRINGER UBX-A 2.0 or ⛎🅱️❌-🅰️ 3️⃣.0️⃣ where they STRAIGHTEN QUIRKS AND MISSING ITEMS THEY LEFT OUT IN VERSION 1.0 ((we KEYBOARD FANATICS WITH 💯 GAS would GLADLY & GLEEFULLY PONY UP 🆙 AN EXTRA $300-$500 ❌✝️®️🅰️ to have OUR UBX-A ULI CAKE AND EAT IT 2️⃣.0️⃣)) 😊❤❤❤
When pressings settings and 8 i can only edit autotune precision, there is no unison detune or voice spread option regardless of me pressing 8 again…. 😢anyone can help?
The detune setting is now in PREF option number 9 called "unison-spread detune". The current pro800 manual at the Behringer site has the new correct settings.
