Behringer Proton
[March 1, 2022]
Behringer says it took a lot of hard work and 11 revisions to finalise the design for Proton. Perhaps it’s harder to come up with new ideas and designs than it is to work on recreating something that already exists? Anyway, it looks like the work has paid off because this comes across as very intriguing, complex, and potentially super-versatile.
Proton has dual analogue oscillators with 5 waveforms, sync, PWM, and independent sub-oscillators. The waveforms can be morphed between for added tone blending. It has dual analogue multi-mode, self-oscillating filters that can run in parallel or in series. There’s a ton of modulation with 2 ASR envelopes (which can loop in many directions), 2 ADSR envelopes, and 2 LFOs.
There’s a wavefolder, noise generator, and a whole host of useful utilities to broaden the patching experience. And talking of patching that patch bay is huge! Apparently, there are 64 patch points. A paraphonic mode releases the oscillators into a couple of notes of polyphony which is nice.
Proton is practically dripping with features, modular routings, and potential and the price is excellent.
There’s not much wrong with this one and I always enjoy it when Behringer does their own thing and Proton shows that they are more than capable of doing so.
