Pro-1 : Excelent Synth but with asterisks.

6 years ago

I was really craving for this one, since I always had an attraction to the Prophet synths. And indeed this synth delivers a very close sound and the feel to the original Pro One. Of course, like its' brothers, it features patch points which you can use to further modulate the sound.

I must report, that I had an unexpected with the Arp / Sequencer, where notes were not triggered properly. The issue somehow got fixed (without any update). When this issue was resolved, it was such a great fun playing with both.

My main concern, is that the synth won't respond to the lowest midi notes. It goes down to C0 and then stops, so I really found myself wishing it would go lower than that, when I was playing bass lines. I'm guessing this is to be faithful to the original, but I wish Behringer integrated it as an option to a future Synthtool / Firmware update.

My verdict is that, especially for this price, Pro-1 is a must have, and you'll spend hours of making music, pretending to be John Carpenter, scoring his next film, in the 80s (that's a nuendo for requesting a Pro-5 clone actually) ;)
