Behringer PRO-800 combi

[martinez71]

Here is a combi that I just made for the Behringer PRO-800. As well as including all of the parameters on the physical synth (except for Master Tune), it also includes some of the menu-based parameters relating to the LFO and Vibrato.

The LFO Shape knob with three sections and no parameter names is to choose which of the three LFO wave pairings that are available in the LFO-MOD section, namely Pulse/Triangle (left position), Random/Sine (top position), and Noise/Saw (right position). I experimented with ways to indicate this, but eventually I decided that it was more elegant without anything. Just look down to the order of the LFO shapes to know which is which.

LFO Target: VCO A+B, VCO A, VCO B, VCA. For the first three, the FREQ A-B switch in LFO-MOD needs to be switched on. The switch does not need to be on for the VCA option (tremolo) to work.

I would have liked knobs for the two Velocity parameters, but I reached the available limit, so it's switches or nothing.

I think everything else is self-explanatory. Note that Unison is now over to the right, with menu-based Unison Detune added.

It's not perfect, but I'm quite pleased with it. The Combi patch and .png file are in the .zip.

Yes, this limit of 32 knobs or sliders is still binding !

I've tweaked the design a bit, updated zip file attached.

I just found this yesterday. Thanks for taking the time build and share it. Would it be possible to share the .svg file for the backdrop? I'm building a companion combi for some of the other under-the-hood MIDI CCs.

Just make a combi2 named Page 2 then and line them up?

Oh my god Martinez, thank you a million. Just opened it and wow, beautifully done. I have three Behringer "mini" synths here, the 800 not exactly being mini but I was thinking of doing this for the JT4000 and the Pro Vs as well. A guy seems to live well of selling his editors for $7 each making them as vsts for just about any synth, but Combi2 is just as powerful and much more beautiful for Reason users. No clutter. You have started a free trend here setting the bar at the maximum level Thanks a lot!

By the way as the unison detune goes bananas and sounds best between 0-5 or 0-15 max I changed this and as the synth has such enormous resolution (0-768) it gives 0-94 in the synth if I set it to 0-16 or something, so the hardware is utterly well done by Behringer, it responds magically well, much better than say a MKS-50 or Matrix-1000. Goes to show Behringer has filled a seriously important niche in the market.
