About Behringer PROTON

Make your music production setup truly electrifying with the Behringer PROTON Paraphonic Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer. This exceptional analog paraphonic synthesizer is engineered to be the centerpiece of your synth collection, featuring two robust Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) and two versatile multi-mode Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs). With an extensive array of patch points, the PROTON is designed to invigorate your sound creation process, offering endless possibilities for sonic exploration.

The PROTON's semi-modular design is centered around an intuitive, linear workflow, eliminating the need for patching to achieve immediate performance. This makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced synth enthusiasts. Activate the PROTON into self-oscillation and connect it to your preferred keyboard or computer via MIDI over DIN or USB to immerse yourself in the captivating world of analog music synthesis.

The dual self-oscillating, multi-mode VCFs can be configured in either parallel or series, providing a multitude of sound possibilities. With linkable Control Voltages (CVs), you can craft even more unique soundscapes. The synthesizer is equipped with two ASR envelopes, each offering reverse, inverse, loop, and bounce options, granting comprehensive control over Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCAs) and wave folders. Additionally, two analog ADSR generators allow for distinctive sound modulation of the VCFs.

Enhance your sound with the PROTON's multi-mode wave folder, which adds rich harmonic content to the Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs). The synthesizer includes two flexible LFOs, each offering five waveforms, MIDI clock sync, key sync, phase, and depth controls, ensuring your creative possibilities are virtually limitless. The noise generator elevates waveform generation, while the ability to sum external audio into one or both VCFs further expands the PROTON's sound generation capabilities.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into a standard Eurorack case, the PROTON can be easily combined with other synth modules for a truly unique setup. Simply connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. Elevate your music production journey with the Behringer PROTON Paraphonic Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer and create the music you've always envisioned.
