Description
The Behringer Proton Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer is designed for musicians and producers seeking the warmth of analog synthesis combined with the flexibility of modular design. This paraphonic powerhouse offers dual oscillators each capable of producing five distinct waveforms enabling a broad sonic palette from fat basses to ethereal leads. Its semi-modular architecture means you can explore intricate patching possibilities or play it straight out of the box – no patching required. With dual self-oscillating filters versatile envelopes and a unique wave folder the Proton excels in adding depth and complexity to any sound design or musical project. Unparalleled sonic exploration Delve into the heart of sound with Protons dual VCOs offering five waveforms and extensive modulation options including pulse width modulation and oscillator sync. This feature set unlocks new realms of sonic exploration from classic analog tones to groundbreaking textures. Whether sculpting dense basses or shimmering leads the oscillator section stands as your gateway to auditory innovation. Expressive paraphonic performance The paraphonic mode transforms the Proton into a bi-timbral beast allowing each oscillator to be independently controlled. This capability paves the way for complex layered sounds that breathe life into your compositions. By combining this with the synthesizers extensive modulation possibilities you unlock a universe of soundscapes previously consigned to the imaginations of synth enthusiasts. Modular creativity without the complexity Protons semi-modular design offers the best of both worlds: the hands-on immediacy of a traditional synthesizer with the patching flexibility of a modular system. With no patching required for initial performance its incredibly approachable for newcomers yet deep enough for seasoned modular veterans. The inclusion of 64 patch points ensures that the Proton seamlessly integrates into larger modular setups offering limitless potential for sound design. Dynamic effects and modulation The synthesizers multi-mode wave folder introduces a new dimension of sonic character imbuing signals with rich harmonic content. Coupled with two flexible LFOs a noise generator and extensive envelope-shaping options the Proton empowers users to sculpt sounds with precision and creativity. From subtle vibrato to aggressive modulation these features ensure your sound remains as dynamic and expressive as your music demands.
