Behringer Pro-800 8-voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

A Modern Ode to Iconic Analog

The search for new and old synths has resulted in an unprecedented comeback for some of the most vaunted styles, as the analog synthesis renaissance continues to surge. Behringer's latest offering, the Pro-800, is a testament to analog's unrivaled sonic character. Designed with all-analog circuitry, this 8-voice polyphonic powerhouse faithfully emulates the sound and feel of the innovative 1982 synth.

Equipped with 16 oscillators, the Pro-800 boasts a powerful polyphonic panache. Each voice is given two VCOs, which can be controlled independently, resulting in dense, detuned textures that are a hallmark of classic analog synths. The synth's vintage panache is further enhanced by a slew of contemporary complements that take its iconic sonics into new realms, all without sacrificing its classic character, much to the delight of GearNuts's synthesists.

From rumbling basses to scorching leads, the Pro-800 more than earns its stripes to sit in any studio or performance rig. With its 8-voice polyphonic design and 16 oscillators, the synth offers a rich, complex soundscape that can be further sculpted using its dual ADSR envelope generators. The synth's 400 user program slots provide ample storage for a wide range of sounds, while its 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O and footswitch connectivity ensure seamless integration with other gear in the studio or on stage.

The Pro-800's all-analog circuitry is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic synth tones. In an age dominated by digital sound engines and virtual instruments, the Pro-800 stands as a bold statement of analog's continued relevance and influence. Its meticulous emulation of the 1982 synth's sound and feel captures the essence of that iconic instrument, while its contemporary additions expand its sonic capabilities, making it a must-have for any synth enthusiast or producer seeking to add a touch of analog warmth and character to their music.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the world of analog synthesis, the Pro-800 is a synth that demands attention. Its powerful polyphonic capabilities, coupled with its vintage-inspired design and modern enhancements, make it a versatile and compelling addition to any studio or performance setup. As the analog synthesis renaissance continues to flourish, the Pro-800 stands as a shining example of the enduring appeal and evolution of this timeless technology.
