Pissed, you paid too much for your vintage synth?

The Pro 16 is still in development and will have all the features of a Prophet 5. Until then, the Pro 800 brings a lot of the sounds for less than 400€. If you can't wait, Dave Smith will happily deliver a selection of amazing synth with original Prophet DNA. Ok, it's another price range but also another level of build quality. The great thing today is you have all those options to choose from.

@@HrWisch Indeed. I'd never substitute my original Rev 3 Prophet 5 for some sounds only a P5 can get, but the 800 works amazingly for most stuff. Plus it's a module so far easier to move around my studio than my old (and to this old man, a bit heavier than I remember, LOL) real Prophet 5. :) It is amazing times we live in for sure, to have these options!

Thanks for the info, I will check it out I think the latest fanfare I update that it was about 3 to 4 months ago? But I have the unit for about eight months now, and I didn’t discover any problems so fair.

@@synthmaniak No, it's not a problem actually. _Maybe_ I just read that in the 1st firmware versions the depth for Polymod modulations was deeper. You can create really pronounced FM sounds with this.

Thanks for sharing. However, I stated in this video that level of effects are ver low. Might be slightly more reverb than chorus however, both effects are extremely low. So most of the signal i dry, and the corals are used as the custom-made using TonePrint app. The chorus signal is extremely low so I don’t know how you hear in the wall of chorus there?

@@synthmaniak I cannot tell as long as don’t have a dry signal to compare.😢 But the sounds are good. And I like what you played in the demo.

Thanks for feedback

Thanks and welcome

Glad you like it!

DX7.

@@CentaurusRelax314 Well yes, you'd want an FM engine for that.

High pass sounds

Complex bird calls

Hi there, I have the Behringer DM-12 snd made at same point I might make sound comparison, In mean time,,Pro 800 8 voices, mono out and don't have any of FX,, plus sonically sounds closer to the Prophet 600/ Prophet 5 with I preferred. If II nee to pick the winner, I preferred, as for only sound alone I will pick Pro-800. As for Deep Mind 12 have12 voices of polyphony, Lcd screen and stereo out's. But the bigger advantage of DM-12 is the bill in FX. Biocide's they just sounds different, so to compassion will be hard. With the DM-12 is passable create big pads and wider stereo feel and sounds closer to tone of Juno 106 The Pro 800 just sounds good and sounds closer to prophet-600 /5 I hope that this will answer your question

My two cents: I think the DM12 is a good "gigging" synth, with the built in FX and low financial accident risk. The Pro-800 is better for bedroom song-smithing. Layering mono tracks with more sound shaping at the oscillators, and adding FX, when needed, later in the workflow, potentially from more curated sources.

Thanks 👍🏻

It does sound close to my Prophet 5 Rev 3, you are correct. Worth buying for sure, maybe even buy two, do a master detune, and get a stereo system without using any pedals. I've been toying with the idea of buying a second one just for that reason alone.

@@drsamurai009 For me, got only one Pro 800 its ok. I create a stereo audio using effect insert in parallel on channel strip bus 😉 Infact many mixing engineering used this way to create imaging stereo on mono audio Prophet 5.

To answer your question, it takes decades of sound programming experience. And sonic is the one even as digital when mix the wave level with combination of envelope, 1.2.3 as well LFO’s that can make sound more organic closer to analog behavior. I’ll learn how to use the strength of the synthesizer and not too much on the weaker side.

@@synthmaniak Dream

I'm still waiting for Uli to make a remake :) 🙏

Yes, I agree. This is great sounding Ensoniq

It has a much better piano than the M1 and other contemporaries... it's heavily compressed but it's quite musical IMHO

Hi there, Many of the sounds patches in this demo are made or modified by me through many years. Sme patches are originally used are free and paid sources. However, all of these patches are modified to same extent. Unfortunately at this time are not for sale just jet.

@@synthmaniak No problem Thank you Bro For Reply

Yes sir thanks for sharing👍🏻

Hola ¿Que problema tiene el teclado? más detalles.

I've got one too... it was my first major keyboard. Made a bunch of music on it back in the day. It's definitely showing it's age too.

The Ensoniq VFX is comparable similar synth but there well know for having more problems then SD1. Unfortunately, depends what problems you have, you can ether fixed or replaced with better shape model.

Hey man, I don’t quite fully understand your question? North story defend kind of keyboard. It’s more stage keyboard. This is music workstation/synthesizer from late 80s and you can’t compare this to Nord.

@@synthmaniak I see sorry I've never seen this keyboard didn't realise it was that old

As for the sounds patches unfortunately are not for sale. Since our program many of those sounds as well,purchase Sam othersound banks and also browse the free from libraries and then I start customize them, which took me years of doing that. I don’t think I’m gonna just give my work for free, but those are just demonstrating the sound possibilities of this synthesizer

The video camera's frame rate and the screen's refresh rate are out of sync.

Yes , it's just camera rate make that appeared lag is scarring screen.

Hallo, I have the Sequential (Deve Smith) Prophet Rev-2, and Sequential OB-6 module. So, just for synths comparison and so is Arturia 8, Prophet 5V/ OB-XAV, the Behringer UB-Xa in my opinion sounds great!

No, he just played the wrong note in the bass (major 7th). The second time round he plays the right note, the 3rd.

Hi, I have similar problem using sys-ex with sending back from UB-XA the individual patches, however works when sending bank ? Not a deal breaker but I hope that this be fixed with next update?

Thanks for your honest opinion. I don't share the same view about bashing any brand including Behringer. I program synths for about 37 yers. I judge individual product bace on sonic potential as well experience of the sound and care only about end resold of the sound.

Who cares? There is Behringer badge right? besides I'm glad that I don't have pay 8K-10K for old used and potensialy broken original OB-Xa synth. I only care about experience and end result sound ad the end. I take may chances with UB- XA or any other Behringer product, as long that the sound is very close to original. Besides I own manny other original synths. so give me break. Sir just have differed mindset, that is all. Peace

Thanks for sharing!

For me, I'd say the CK88. The MODX has an organ samples. I think the CK has an organ engine.

​@@flopflp5534 Thank you. Maybe one day please make also a Demo of CK 61 or CK88, specifically Organ sounds.

Sorry, I don't play much of organ sounds. So with is better, I don't know especially since I don't have CK series to compere? However, since I have Nord Stage 3, in my opinion the organs like B3 sound on MODX sounds really good.

I don't remember exact the sound names but, few those sounds they are from factory. The view other sounds demonstrated re combination of my samples and factory sounds.

For the price you can get a used Dave Smith synth. This synth is not for you. You seem to know what sounds good and what sounds like trash. Cheers!

Don't agree, sounds very analog and nice. He's not a good player, that doesn't help.

@@retromograph3893 It more than likely has to do with the sounds you're after. I've played this Behringer, and it was OK. But compared to playing the OB-Xa, it didn't even come close. Oddly enough, I've got oberheim type sounds out of my Yamaha MODX+ that I LOVE. And that's a digital workstation.
