Good video. Would be better if we could see you do this on a PRO VS MINI in another video. The menus and sub menus are in different places. Also, it would be a great download to have a data sheet for the default patches showing all these settings. Behringer must have them somewhere!
so basically, R1,R2,R3 and R4 are analogous to the ADSR. You would use R1 to set the attack portion, R2 to set the decay portion, R3 to set the sustain, and R4 for release. Awesome!
My first Synth was the Kawai K1-II vector synth, that takes me back. I ordered the vs mini in July 23, it will be delivered start of next week. Can't wait while still waiting for the Victor to be delivered to Thoman Germany
"this video is getting long" dude, I'm sucking all the info in like a sponge, keep on going! Also, the drawings are super helpful to visualize. Like an oscilloscope for vector. Thanks!
This video confirmed for me that i do want to add a vector synth to my set up. So i just purchased a vector vs pro mini from you. Thanks! The diagram explained it very clearly.
Could you ever imagine that Beringer would be the most productive, feedback-receptive, innovative, and even have the most active RU-vid channel among synthmaking companies? It just happened!
This was great, the graphic made it very easy to understand what you were saying. Kinda felt like you were going to end by demonstrating a bunch of cool envelope modulations to show off what we just learned but all good. Xx
Thanks for clearing this up, Patrick, with a very easy to understand way of explaining. My Pro VS mini has just been shipped today so soon I can put this knowledge to practice! This makes it also clear why you don't need to move the joystick while playing. The morphing has already been 'programmed' during the design of the sound.
Thx for your great explaination and Illustration work! You are worth your salt! But I remember in the first 20 years of Behringer, they have had the best manuals and Lots of explainations and examples for practical use! Please bring it back! No need to print it on paper, but provide it online as a pdf doc! Dont YOU have time to write an explaination manual like 20 years ago! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ordered mine a few days ago, it should be here beginning of the week. My first behringer synth, really excited. This was great, the animations were very helpful.
Fantastic explanation. I really appreciate the time put in to making this video and look forward to experimenting when my Behringer thingy arrives. Thank you very much.
❤After I missed the first delivery because my order was submitted too late, I am now glad that I received an email from Thomann Germany yesterday evening that my Prophet VS is finally on its way! AND THE SAME DAY YOU UPLOAD THIS VIDEO! Can this be a coincidence?
This video was REALLY well done. as a synth content creator, I appreciate the challenges of communicatingl behaviors that are not instantly intuitive. I'm looking foward to receiving my pre-ordered Victor.
This is great, but it would be really nice if Behringer produced manuals that actually explain these things... When I read an Arturia or Elektron manual I feel like an expert afterwards. The Pro VS Mini manual is basically just an overview of what all of the buttons are without explanation.
Excellent analogy. I've used the visualization of four mixer channels. I like this one better. And thanks for doing this. I really think in retrospect people are going to say they underestimated this little synth. There's a LOT of possibility here. I'm going to go for the Victor. It's a great excuse to get the others and save studio space. Great clip!
Nice video! Question: that arpeggiator sound in the background music (as heard also in one of your introduction videos), is it coming from the Pro-VS Mini? That's a nice Tangerine Dream vibe from the 80s. Keep up the good work!
Thanks dude. I use that Arp riff in loads of the Behringer videos. I made it with the Crave, the subtle string pads you hear in the longer versions are from the Deepmind 12.
On the ProVs mini is there a way to use the joystick to control vector position rather than setting points, like the Victor is able to do? I’d like to do live morphing without relying on automation. The only way I found to do this is by putting the synth into the mode to set position one, but this is very limiting because it locks you out of all the other controls.
I second this. I received my Pro VS yesterday and during my first tests I didn’t understand why the mix got “reset” to center with every note while playing a sequence.
@@PeterDeGreeI think I may have figured it out. I haven’t tested it, but one thing I gained from this video is that setting all the R values to zero in theory keeps the mix fixed on the first vector point. So you should be able to use the joystick if it’s set that way. I’ll have to try it out though.
@@PeterDeGreeso I just tested my hypothesis, and no it does not work. Setting all the R values to zero does not function the same way it does on the Victor. Not sure why the joystick doesn’t control a vector point position unless you’re in an edit mode. It makes no sense. This is so aggravating.
Very informative and well done video, thank you so much. I which there could be a .pdf of this quality somewhere to understand how to use the Pro VS mini !
Great informative material. But still I can't figure out, how to stop sound on point chosen by joystick. It's change to the middle at every next note I play.
how do you trigger the envelope? If I connect something to "Gate", my module acts weird and i can not hear one of the Oscs alone, even if Mix Env is off. If its on, I can not make it behave like it behaves in your video
Thanks. Hit the Function button and then press key 13 (Mix Envelopes) and you'll get the same menu I'm using in the video on Victor. From there the process is the same.
@@PatchDog More precise, pressing Function and then 13 three times gets you to the mode where you can use the joystick do set the vector points. +/- cycle through each point there. The quick manual is a bit "quick" IMO, hopefully someone will make a better one. I love those cheat sheets, like those for the Pocket Operators, where you have all basic functions on one page.
Thanks for the added precision, I didn't have one in front of me. Yes the Quick Start Guides could do with being more intuitive, I agree. I just make the videos. @@paddyboy207
Yes, you can easily understand how to do this after watching the video. Just set Vector point 0 to the center of the axis with the joystick and keep R1-R4 value at 0. Exactly like he did but setting vector point 0 to center instead of vector point 4.
Great video except I wasted a lot of time by not having a gate signal connected - I kinda wished you'd mentioned that none of the transitions work without that 😢
