Unleash an analog odyssey with this semi-modular powerhouse.
The Behringer PROTON is a paraphonic analog semi-modular synthesizer designed to be the centerpiece of any synth setup. With dual VCOs, multi-mode VCFs and a vast array of patch points, the PROTON delivers a wealth of creative potential. Whether you're exploring rich analog textures or crafting intricate modular setups, this synth offers the flexibility and power to bring your musical ideas to life.
Semi-Modular Freedom
The PROTON's semi-modular design offers immediate performance out of the box—no patching required. Simply connect your MIDI controller or computer via USB or DIN and start playing. For those looking to expand their sonic capabilities, the PROTON features 64 patch points, allowing integration with external modules and creating complex signal flows. It's the perfect combination of plug-and-play simplicity and modular versatility.
Dual VCOs and Advanced Sound Design
At the heart of the PROTON are its dual VCOs, each offering seamless waveform blending between tone mod, pulse, sawtooth, triangle, and sine. Both oscillators include individual sub-oscillators for added depth and harmonic richness. The multi-mode VCFs can be configured in parallel or series, with linkable CVs for expanded routing options. Whether in monophonic or paraphonic mode, the PROTON excels at delivering massive basslines, shimmering leads, and dynamic multi-timbral textures.
Rich Modulation and Harmonic Content
The PROTON offers extensive modulation tools, including two LFOs with five waveforms, MIDI clock sync, key sync, and phase controls for precise shaping. The multi-mode wave folder adds harmonic complexity, while the noise generator and external audio input provide further waveform generation possibilities. With two ASR envelopes and two ADSR generators featuring unique loop, bounce, and reverse options, the PROTON delivers unmatched flexibility for sound design and dynamic expression.
Built for Performance and Integration
The PROTON's 68 real-time controls provide intuitive access to every parameter, ensuring seamless performance and sound tweaking. Designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case, the PROTON integrates effortlessly into modular setups. With comprehensive MIDI implementation and USB connectivity, it also works perfectly in modern DAW-based workflows. Whether standalone or part of a larger system, the PROTON offers unparalleled versatility for studio and stage applications.
Analog Power at Your Fingertips
The Behringer PROTON is more than just a synthesizer; it's a creative hub for sound exploration and performance. From its dual oscillators and rich modulation options to its semi-modular design and Eurorack compatibility, the PROTON is a powerhouse for musicians and sound designers.
