So many people bashing Behringer for their copycat-products, but honestly, I'm quite happy they do what they do. They make great classics synths available again, and no one has to worry about falling apart synths, leaking parts, costly repairs and no warranty at all. And I'm even more happy they made this Pro-800 replica! It has such a lovely 80's vibe, I must buy it immediately!

Behringer blatantly stealing stuff undermines the payback from these legendary products and tightens the belt, making it more difficult to experiment and make weird stuff that might end up clicking or not clicking. In other words: if Behringer existed decades ago I doubt anyone would have enough room to experiment and fail as they used to, reducing the chances for industry-changing gear like the 808 or the 303 to even be considered for production.

The simple fact is, We live in a world where many people have low incomes, high living expenses, and not a lot to get excited about in life. Behringer comes along and offers something the ordinary keyboard player, who could only dream of owning a Prophet 5, Juno 60, Arp 2500 or MiniMoog. Nobody in there right mind, can put down Behringer, when they bring so many, otherwise unattainable, synths, into the homes of music lovers.

I wasn’t completely sold on this at first despite Dans smooth demo but now it’s moved on up the list into the top 5! Such a rich sound, love it!

Definitely sounds less analog and growling in the filter. They've captured some of it, but oddly enough it's how the Gligli (a modern "implant" processor swap) makes the P600 lose its edge, I would've preferred they kept the brutal character of the p600 entact - which is what makes it such a demon! This is like a mini demon. For those who haven't messed around with the real one, it can be really dark and derezzed. Obviously the folks at behringer like the gligli p600 over the real one, but that's cool.

8:03 is the best part of the demo, when Maltese Falcon starts to play

Should be a big seller. I like the Korg Minilogue run in slave and master mode. 2 of them = 8 voices. Pretty nice option. Where many synths shine or breakdown is in the clarity of the analog outputs. This clarity varies even within the same manufacturer. For Ex., if you listen to the 880, 1080, 2080, 5080, line from Roland some sound great, others sound like there is a blanket over the sound, sounding very dull. This is because of the analog outputs not all being created equal! Always consider this, its the last exit point of all synths. The JV880 sounded great, as did the Roland S760 sampler outputs. As Roland expanded the line up, not all sounded good, I recall being disappointed and surprised.

I watched exactly 3 minutes of the video and Im ready to go buy one. lol

BRILLIANT ❤❤❤

Some of us who play keys would love to have a keyboard attached to this 😪

I am pleased this will finally, actually release in the spring. The ONLY thing they could have done to make it a TINY bit better is add PWM A to the Poly Mod section and have USB on the front panel as with Cat and Model D. As for poly rack mount - Studio Electronics for a bit more dosh... Also, you should have shown it with a better controller and highlighted a bit the supposedly full MIDI CC implementation.

Mainly, I hope this leads to Sequential thinking about doing a desktop version of the Take 5, for around 900. But, competition hasn't stopped Fender guitars pricing to the moon. They could call it the Sequential Take Out. Remove the non-essential stuff, plain casing. Take out the less than amazing parts, like the effects. I could even live without the headphone output, expression pedal I/O, possibly the sequencer. And even mono I could live with at a push. But this does sound good, and it's nice to get the 8 voices, the gligli and it be rackmountable. Makes me wonder what was up with the UBXA video hmmm maybe they can't tell us.

I already got a Deepmind12, do I need this one or I can make my Deepmind12 sounding the same?

How do you use an expression pedal with it? My midi keyboard has an expression pedal input, but the pro 800 just treats it as a sustain pedal, same case when I connect the exp pedal to the footswitch input on the pro 800 itself

Depends which filter you like; Deepmind is the Juno 106 filter, this one is a version of the Prophet filter. They both sound great but they do sound quite different.

I’d go with the Pro 800 if i just wanted an analog poly for basic chord stuff because i love the richness Prophet filter design.
