Showcasing dual-oscillator harmonic functionality amplified by Behringer's user-friendly ethos, the Proton paraphonic analog synthesizer combines the versatility of modern synthesis with empowering sound generation. Packed with two waveform-selectable VCOs, coasting the outline of both monophonic leads and harmonized synthetic atmospheres remains limited only to your creative wit. Likewise, via the module's front panel, access to ASR and ADSR envelopes, two adjustable LFOs, onboard CV mixing utilities, noise generation, and more take sound sculpting opportunities to ever more versatile heights. As a semi-modular synth, rest assured the Proton is capable of providing a formidable nucleus to your pre-existing modular setup — not to mention a versatile independent instrument in it's own right. Combined with 5-pin MIDI and USB connectivity, plus 1/4-inch TR audio I/O and TRS headphone outputs, access to the Proton's atomic character is leveled to fit the needs of your studio or home production situation.
A harbinger of dual-oscillator, harmonic design
The Proton's basis of sound all starts within two onboard VCOs, adjustable by way of 5 waveforms (tone mod, pulse, sawtooth, triangle, and sine) for crafting a realm of possible sound foundations. Controllable via oscillator sync, pulse width modulation, and individual sub-oscillators, timbral sounds spanning rich bass lines to lush ambient atmospheres await. Still not enough? Tap into Proton's multimode wave folder for exponentially unique harmonics and deep modulation control. Whether focusing on crafting a double-up foundation for a modular setup or an entirely independent analog tone altogether, savvy synthesists have found the Proton has more than enough power to match a realm of creative projects.
Sculpt, sift, and sync to success
From two ASR envelopes to dual adjustable LFOs, every faculty onboard the Proton serves as a direct course to an expanse of possible sound creativity. Within each ASR envelope, you'll have access to reverse, inverse, loop, and bounce operation controls, resulting in unique VCA and wave folder sound dynamics. Sweetening the pot are two adjustable LFOs with five built-in waveforms, MIDI clock sync, and phase depth parameters that, along with the Proton's 3.5mm input and output patchbays, service multiple modulative pathways for hours of exploration. Two self-oscillating, multimode VCFs complete the amalgamation to ensure maximum frequency sculpting power.
