Superbooth 2018: Behringer Pro-One Sequential Circuits clone in action
We saw an image of Behringer’s Pro-One clone back in March. At Superbooth we’re getting the opportunity to hear it in action and find out a bit more about it.
Pro-One
It is based (obviously) on the Sequential Circuits Pro-One monophonic synthesizer. Behringer has built it into their now familiar Eurorack compatible form factor. They’ve added full MIDI implementation, USB MIDI and a row of CV patch points for the filter and external input, and a patchable CV input,聽gate input and CV and gate output.
Following the original Pro-One it has two oscillators with ramp and square wave and one with an additional triangle waveform. Pulse width modulation is available on both. There’s a low-frequency switch on the second oscillator to push it into some deep bass. The inbuilt sequencer and arpeggiator follow the original design. There’s a modulation matrix over on the left-hand side. A noise generator shares the mixer with the external input.
Behringer has actively decided not to change anything about the sound engine or parameter layout. This is more of a replica than an evolution like we find in the DeepMind or RD-808.
The knobs appear to be a bit more accessible聽than the Model D and it has that wonderfully squelchy Sequential sound. The design is finished but apparently they so many preorders for their existing synths to fulfil that they don’t have a firm release date. Pity – because this is the one that interests me the most. It’ll come, in time. They can’t confirm the price but it’s likely to be in the ball part of 拢299 like the Model D.

- It’ll turn up at some point on Behringer’s website.
