Quickly became my favourite synthesizer!
Norby 25.07.2023
Behringer did an amazing job with this one, and they continue improving it by adding features with firmware updates.
I have owned a lot of synths but this is the first time I immediately connected with one, can't stop playing with it.
Probably thanks to the simple, intuitive architecture.
Its sonic capabilities are already beyond the "original" Prophet 600 thanks to the additional features like noise generator,
improved envelopes, etc.
The built quality is absolutely solid, easily as good or even better than some of my instruments made by other well known synth makers.
The fact that Behringer can provide such a quality and feature-packed instrument at that low price is almost unbelievable.

I've just recently challenged myself to recreate the main theme of Stranger Things using only this synth, have a listen!

, last but not least: first class service from Thomann, as always!

Love it!
ar2n 13.11.2024
On the cons:
- The menus and buttons take a bit to get used to, and they are not that fun to press, but usable.
- On first time connecting into the DAW (Cubase) via USB, it went crazy with a MIDI feedback, I then realized I had to disable Soft Thru.
- Voice priority kind of works, but i wish there would be an option for simply not retriggering the envelops when playing monophonic.

On the pros:
- Polyphonic after touch is just mindblowing amazing!!
- Sounds fantastic, layering with other synths and effects, it's just a monster!.
- It's extremely simple to use, and having all the knobs in front just calls you to tweak things and play with it, It quickly became one of my first go to.
- Feels great!.

True dual analog VCO polysynth
MightyJoe 31.05.2025
First the bad things:
- It's a true vintage synth design with all it's quirks: If you're not specifically searching for that very vintage sound or experience, you'll hate it.
- The presets are meh so either make your own or buy third-party ones.
- It's mono output only and has no built-in effects at all. (get a multi-effects pedal. Zoom makes great ones.)
- You have to dial-in each preset number to load them (you can scroll through them using the synthtribe software or midi CC, but not on the synth... wtf)
- You can't plug an USB keyboard directly in and need to use the MIDI connector instead, which limits a lot the controllers you can use (you can plug the synth USB to the computer and control it from there, just not connect USB keyboards directly to the synth)
- USB is midi only so no audio capture.
- It's a module without a keyboard and with a small external power supply, which means lots of cables running around, which is kinda messy.

Now for the good stuff:
- It really sounds like a vintage Prophet synth, with all its tuning instabilities and all. If that's what you're searching for, this thing delivers!
- It sounds better than the UB-Xa, for real.
- Automatic tuning to the touch of a button whenever you want (there's both a quick and a full tuning process, the full tuning taking about 20 seconds)
- 8 fully analog voices with 2 VCOs and a noise generator per voice, which means you can play chords with true vintage vibes.
- 24dB juicy filter with a resonance that sounds great.
- The filter can auto-oscillate when cranking up the resonance and it tracks the keyboard correctly, so you can make whistle sounds.
- It's very easy and fast to make your own sounds with it: no hidden stuff, no menu diving, what you see is what you get.
- It has presets, which, being a vintage synth design, is not that common. So you can spend hours crafting the perfect sound and save it for later use.
- It has a direct manual mode that uses the current settings of the knobs as they are in the panel, which is great to start a sound from scratch.
- The knobs turn very smoothly and the membrane buttons are actually pretty satisfying to press, so it's a great tactile experience.
- The manufacturing quality is really good: all metal chassis and front panel, real wood side panels, good knobs and good paint finish.
- It's insanely cheap for what it is.

Note: the synth comes with the earliest firmware, which is buggy and doesn't sound that great, so be sure to download the synthtribe app from Behringer and update the synth to the latest firmware via USB before anything else!

Overall, Behringer has really done a great vintage sounding analog synth with this one and I actually think it sounds better than the UB-Xa, even though this one is less sexy.

Could it be done in software?
Nowadays, probably, but it will cost as much as this hardware synth and you will have to deal with license management activations, software obsolescence and the push for subscriptions, which I hate with a passion .
Hardware will never require a subscription from me.

Super poly
SteveMoon 06.09.2023
Received this today, as always Thomann has been swift with delivery. The Synth feals weighty and quality feal to the dials on the Synth. Display is fine, and as expected. Sounds absolutely superb and have run it through a couple of test sequences. Well done behringer on this absolutely fantastic Synth for an excellent price point wow Top MARKS

Prophet sound for a fraction of the price
Jan the One 11.01.2024
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.

Es war sogar ein USB Kabel dabei. So etwas ist heutzutage leider nicht mehr selbstverständlich. Ich musste das Kabel allerdings ab isolieren und die Erdung vom USB trennen, wegen Brummen. Sobald man den USB Stecker am Laptop rein steckt kommt ein Erdungsbrummen über den USB Port mit in die Aufnahme. Habe ich aber bei der Wavestate, SE02, Novation circuit und dem Roland FP 10 auch. Die Lösung war wie gesagt, die Erdung vom USB Kabel zu durchtrennen. Ansonsten könnte man sich für 50 € extra im Fachhandel andere Potikappen kaufen, die denen des originalen Propheten noch näher kommen. Ein bisschen Fummelig die Einstellung für LFO Wellenformen und z. B. Hüllkurvengeschwindigkeit über das Zusatzuntermü, das Handbuch irritiert weil alle Sprachen zusammen gedruckt sind.

Good product by behringer
Nader 15.03.2024
Thank you Behringer for making this, the product is robust and solid.
The oscillators sound like the original, I'm thinking of buying another one.
I hope future firmware will allow daisy chain.
Thank you Thomann for the good service.
