The Behringer PRO-800 is an analog synthesizer with 8-voice polyphony and 32 factory/user presets, designed for studio production and live performance. It reproduces classic analog tones with fully hands-on controls for oscillators, filters, envelopes and modulation, enabling immediate adjustments to timbre, texture and dynamics. The instrument supports layered sounds and polyphonic chords while offering tactile operation that fits both electronic music production workflows and stage setups.
Advantages
The PRO-800 provides true analog signal paths and multi-voice capability to create rich, warm pads, evolving textures and punchy leads. Its preset memory simplifies sound recall during sessions and gigs, and the front-panel layout gives direct access to synthesis parameters for fast sound design. The combination of polyphony, responsive controls and robust build makes it suitable for sustained chords, arpeggiated sequences and live manipulation.
Suitable for
- Electronic music producers creating pads, basses and leads
- Live performers needing hands-on control and preset recall
- Sound designers experimenting with analog textures and modulation
- Studio sessions that require layered polyphonic synth sounds
Key specifications
- Architecture: analog synthesis with multiple oscillators per voice
- Voices: 8-voice polyphony for chords and layered sounds
- Presets: 32 user-configurable and factory presets for quick recall
- Controls: dedicated front-panel knobs and switches for oscillators, filter cutoff/resonance, envelopes and LFO
- Performance features: real-time control for modulation, filter sweeps and parameter tweaking
- Connectivity: standard audio and MIDI connectivity for integration with studio and stage setups
How to use
Connect the synth to your audio interface or mixer and to MIDI or USB if you need external control or sequencing. Select a preset to start, then use the front-panel oscillator, filter and envelope controls to shape the sound. For polyphonic pads and chords, play multiple notes or use an external sequencer; for leads and basses, adjust filter and envelope settings to tighten the attack and tailor decay. Save modified sounds to user preset slots for later recall.
Usage recommendations
For consistent performance in both studio and live contexts, place the synth on a stable surface, avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes, and use balanced audio cables where possible. When designing sounds, start from a simple preset and incrementally adjust oscillator detune, filter cutoff and envelope times to achieve the desired texture without losing clarity.
