Behringer Pro VS Mini
Просмотров 9 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Since I have connected so well with the Pro-800, getting the Pro VS Mini was a no-brainer. (Not to mention the low price, portability, etc.) Today I managed to spend a couple of hours with it and the result is this little piece of music. So far I'm very impressed with this synth, it offers a lot to explore. I love the great sounding analog filter! More later, thank you for watching!

    • @NorbertVarga
      @NorbertVarga Месяц назад

      Thank you! No, for this solution you need a midi processor with a simple "round robin" algorithm that switches back and forth between the two synths when triggering notes. The RK-002 has such a processor built in. And yes, Program Change from the midi keyboard now works (with Behringer's latest firmware update).

    Hi, great patch set, I've just purchased. I bought the Pro-800 yesterday (June 2024) and immediately updated the firmware to the latest version which I believe is 1.4.6 does this Patch set still work with this new firmware update, and if so, could you recommend a guide of how to add them please. many thanks

    • @NorbertVarga
      @NorbertVarga 3 месяца назад

      Hi, thank you for your support! Yes, the patch collection is compatible with the latest 1.4.6 firmware. Just please install the older set (ver 1.2.7), not the 1.3.7 one. If you're on a Mac download Sysex Librarian, or use MIDI-OX on PC. These two apps are a bit different, but with both you basically have to set up the connection between the computer and the Pro-800 (MIDI or USB port) then choose the library syx file (the bulk one from my folder, if you want to dump them all at once) and with one click you can dump all the presets to the Pro-800. (If you need any further help let me know if you're on a Mac or PC, and what connection you use, 5-pin MIDI DIN or USB and we'll take it from there.) Good luck with the Pro-800, it's a fantastic piece of gear! Here's my video about patch transfer on the Mac: ruclips.net/video/JiguwGFRtiY/видео.html

      Got it all working via the SYNTHTRIBE app on windows. In the end it was really simple. I could also see only backup bank A (so I guess in the original machine there’s only bank A full). All good. Thank you very much the patches are a great place for my kid to start. He’s really happy

    • @NorbertVarga

      @@OpticalChaos Glad you got it working in the end! It sounds like you transferred the - factory - patches from the synth to the computer, not the other way around. (My video demonstrates both ways: Synth to Mac and Mac to Synth.) Next time all you need to do is just drag & drop the patch library syx into the SysEx Librarian main window and then double click on the file in there. It will copy the patches (78 patches) into Bank C on the Pro-800. Anyway, happy to hear that the Synthtribe app finally works! :)

    Turns out I had an RK-002 that I guess I purchased a while back for something else. Anyway, I found the POLYMUX DUY. Now I understand why I never used the cable. Looking at the documentation, I have no idea what to do to make this work. I understand the varioable names, it isn't clear to me how you change he the values to make it mux between just two MIDI channels for two instruments (e.g., Channels 1 & 2). I must be missing something, but where do you enter the values you want for the three defined variables? Now I know why I never usef the cable :)

    • @NorbertVarga
      @NorbertVarga 3 месяца назад

      The most simple solution is using a web browser that supports MIDI. (Google Chrome for example.) Connect the black end of the RK-002 to your MIDI interface’s OUT, and the orange end to IN, this way you can program the RK-002. Open duy.retrokits.com (in the midi-supported browser) and on the top of the page you should be able to see your RK-002 connection, and set its parameters. In the Polymux firmware you only need to change the FIRSTFREE parameter to 0 (round-robin) and you’re all set. The good thing is that you only have to do this setup once, then it’s “plug and play”. Hope I helped, keep me posted! ✌️

    @mosspa1 3 месяца назад

    Great video! After reading your answer concerning the MicroFreak, below. I was wondering what your thoughts were on implementing the following setup... I have two Pro-800s mounted in a rack under my main synth stand. Currently, I'm using them the way Dan Fisher did in his Sweetwater video. I'd much prefer to use them the way you demonstrate. All of the MIDI signals going to every synth/effect in my setup is currently controlled by a couple of iConnectivity mioXLs interfaced with the computer/DAW using RTP (Ethernet MIDI). Currently, one standard MIDI cable goes from a DIN OUT of one of the mioXLs to a x2-THRU box and then on to each MIDI IN on the Pro-800s. If I substituted the RK-002 for the MIDI cable coming off the mioXL, eliminated the THRU box, and wired the two PRO-800s with a standard MIDI cable as you have, will this work? The logic that says "MIDI is MIDI" suggests that it should, but can you foresee any reasons why it wouldn't. Also, if anybody besides Norbert has any ideas concerning this, I'd love to hear your input as well! Moss

    • @NorbertVarga

    Can its features be used with any synth? And can you use it with one Pro-800 left channel and one right, so it’s still 8 voices but stereo, while retaining the transfer of CC messages to the 2nd Pro-800?

    • @NorbertVarga
      @NorbertVarga 5 месяцев назад

      @jeffc1753 Yes it's a standard midi processor, you can use it with any synth. And even edit the firmware or make your own. And yes you can use 2 Pro-800s that way but for that you don't need the RK-002. Just a normal midi cable into one of them and another one connecting the two.

    Sorry. Doesn't work for me. Pro 800 says presets dumped but on SysEx nothing happens. I know this app and use it with lots of other synths. Same thing with updating firmware. Synthtribe says that Cloud under maintenance. This has been going for weeks and months I've heard from others. So my conclusion is that.. My first and last synth from behringer. It's not really big deal copying ideas from great Synthesizer companies and put them into smaller boxes under behringer name. Wanna synths for masses be my guest so everyone can afford smaller copy of some classic synths but in the same time I feel like some great era just ended.

      It’s standard midi processing, so you should be able to use it with any synth as long as they have MIDI in and out/thru and you can set the midi transmit/receive channels. I’ll check my Microfreak when I have some time. Only have one, but that’s enough to test.
