Behringer PROTON Analog Paraphonic Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Positively charge your synth setup with the new Behringer PROTON! This analog paraphonic semi-modular synthesizer is sure to become the new nucleus of your entire synth setup! Featuring two VCOs, multi-mode VCFs and a huge bay of patch points that’ll get all the electrons in the room dancing!

Semi-Modular Design

Designed around an intuitively linear workflow, PROTON benefits greatly from its semi-modular design, which requires no patching for immediate performance. Just put your PROTON into self-oscillation, connect your favourite keyboard or computer via MIDI over DIN or USB – and start exploring the world of analog music synthesis right out of the box.

Double Down!

The PROTON’s two self-oscillating, multi-mode VCFs can be configure in parallel or series, with linkable CVs for even more possibilities. It’s two ASR envelopes, each with reverse/inverse/loop/bounce options, give you control over VCAs and wave folders. Also, two analog ADSR generators allow for unique sound performance by modulating the VCFs.

Master the Waves

The multi-mode wave folder adds rich harmonic content to the LFOs. Furthermore, with two flexible LFOs with five waveforms, MIDI clock sync, key, sync, phase, and depth controls, the possibilities are endless. Also, the noise generator takes waveform generation to the next level, and the ability to sum external audio into one or both VCFs only adds to the PROTON’s sound generation capabilities.

Eurorack Ready

Lastly, the PROTON fits into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. Additionally, this allows for the PROTON to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.

PROTON Highlights:

  • Analog synthesizer with dual VCO design for insanely fat music creation
  • Paraphonic mode allows both oscillators to be independently controlled for multi-timbral sounds
  • Semi-modular design requires no patching for immediate performance
