Behringer PRO-800 Analog 8-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer - Secondhand

Full Description

Classic Synth Design Enhanced for Modern Use

The PRO-800 synthesizer boasts a timeless aesthetic, featuring pure analog signals based on the original designs of essential components such as Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs), and Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCAs). These classic components are the very same that made iconic synthesizers like the Prophet 600 so highly coveted among electronic music fans and creators. Additionally, every one of the PRO-800's eight voices includes two VCOs, resulting in powerful, detuned sounds that are sure to inspire your next creation.

Creative Freedom

The PRO-800's Unison mode gives you the option to produce 16 oscillator lead and bass sounds that are rich and full-bodied. Additionally, you can use up to 6 oscillator shapes (saw, triangle, and pulse for OSC A and B) that can be modified independently, resulting in bold and vibrant solos or colossal bass tones. The "POLY MOD" feature enables OSC B to modulate OSC A, making the creation of distinctive soundscapes even easier.

Improve Memory in Live Performances with PRO-800

Do you often struggle to remember your ideas during live performances? Don't worry, with the PRO-800, you can store up to 400 patches. You can easily access your patch by entering the program number on the keypad, ensuring it's ready for action. Say goodbye to memory lapses and hello to flawless performances.
