Awwww, I really thought there was going to be a hidden key that unlocked the top and exposed a whole second layer of functionality.

[SmallWorldBigThings]

To be honest - Proton for me is the most interesting/exciting synth of 2024.

[bartektrame]

even though "secret panel" is a cute way of selling "screen-less menu diving", i appreciate the effort at visual feedback 😂

[TylerInTraining]

I look forward to the day where Behringer releases The Atom, where it’s one of those foldable Eurorack cases with a Proton, a Neutron, and when they eventually release the Electron. Haha

[LEDBOO]

This a heavy synth. I’m feeling that split point function.

[JaguarPanda]

Sounds gorgeous, if only it could save patches..

[tomphillpotts]

The hidden shortcuts need to be labeled on the panel!! Why not?

The best thing about the secret button combos on the neutron, after two years of not remembering them, was buying a third party panel cover with the shortcuts clearly labeled.

Without this you really need to use the computer software to change these settings via USB or have them written down next to the synth in a way that's quick to understand visually.

[GnawtheVoid]

Whys the panel art gotta look like a middleschool science textbook tho

[adamoliver]

That LFO key tracking demo sounds really nice.

[Jimmyknapp]

Worth watching the whole video to see the boot cycle run, glad I stuck around. Can't wait to get one of these and patch it just to make the LEDs go in circles.

[RobertFisher]

One of the reasons I buy hardware with lots of knobs and no presets is so that everything is immediately available, I don't have to remember how to access anything, and just looking at the panel is enough to understand the entire program. I'd rather have limitations than hidden features. And you can say that I could just ignore these hidden settings, but what I have always found in the past is that the hidden settings somehow end up getting changed—likely because I accidentally did the magic sequence that I didn't know would change it—and then it takes me forever to figure out what it is and how to fix it. That said, I'm happy to say that the Proton isn't for me but for people who are OK with this. I just want to be sure you hear that you need to keep products in the line-up that don't have such hidden features if you do want to keep selling things to me.

A sub oscillator with a variable wave shape feature ?!?!
A drone mode on the VCOs?!
This synth just got A LOT more attractive, and that is saying something as it already was high on my list of must have synth tools.

I am wondering where the S/H went vs the Neutron especially with the slew function, and if there was any way to get that sort of functionality, and if the filters still overdrive well, but otherwise this is a very satisfactory feature set

[Tutorius]

Cool work, its a hard work to get so much synth into a box with not too much knobs and buttons... Congratulations to your interface-programmers. A question:
When changing the mode for stepped waveform-choose or smooth change between waveforms for VCOs or LFO, will this also be used when changing the waveforms via a modulation source?

[pablowentscobar]

The more I learn about this thing the more I love it. Beautiful look, beautiful sound. Well done boys.

[RealityShiftUK]

i was thinking about buying a pro 800 for my next behringer synth but this is a no brainer for my set up!

[PatternRecognitionMusic]

Cool. My Neutron still gets lots of love. I can't say for certain that this is on my short list, but if it fell into my lap, I would not complain...

[Sycokay]

Too similar to the Neutron. Double filters cool, waveshaper cool, but not enough to upgrade. Add a wavetable oscillator and I buy it in a second 😀

[agerven]

Really cool. But how do you expect us happy hippies from beyond a certain age to remember all of this?

[liviou]

Thank you for these explanations. As your video is about "secret panel", could you please tell us where we can find the Sample and Hold module (which is present in the Neutron). Thanks.

[MeAlexSenna]

That’s a sexy looking synth. The first one for behringer perhaps
