Behringer Pro-800

Good poly analog but sound not so good

The sound is not the same as the prophet 600 , it misses the character and also it is frequency unbalanced, it misses low mid and it pronounces the high mid frequencies . If you are a purist and vintage synth lover don’t buy it ! Mine also has a faulty voice with the filter in this voice not calibrated after auto tune , so one voice has always different cutoff ! But I killed the voice from the menu and now it’s better with 7 voices only . Overall good for it is small and practical for fast analog sounds ! For someone that is a beginner is good , also there are plugins out there far better sounding!

I wasn't particularly excited

In my opinion the Pots and buttons are terrible. The interface is very difficult to read in low light conditions. The sound is good, but nothing mindblowing and without any sort of personality. Used it for 10 days and returned it.The behringer Pro-800 adds nothing to an already established setup. It’s a decent enough first polyphonic synth. it doesn't give me the impression of having a synth with unlimited potential.

I don’t think the pots will last a long time, though.

Prophet sound for a fraction of the price

I had a chance to compare Pro-800 to Prophet 6 a couple of months ago and as a result I immediately pre-ordered the 800. Yeah, I could tell the differences in sound alright – Prophet being more beefy and bassy to name the more prominent ones. But in a mix or even after adding FX there’s no chance you’d recognize which is which. Pro-800 is simply a Prophet, just not from Sequential but from Behringer. Amazing, for the price.

A great addition to any setup.

I knew I wanted one, after watching some demos. It took me a while to get used to how it works, but once I did, it was very rewarding. I am really looking forward to hooking it up with some other modules in my collection. Simply brilliant!

Updates are great!

Excellent sound and features, now that the updates are rolling - it's no deal breaker. Grab one while you can!

So good sounding I had to buy a second

It has some serious firmware flaws, but it sounds so good I had to get one more!

Great instrument!

Not always easy if you have big hands, these small sized instruments, but very happy with it. Congrats to Behringer!
