Better yet, remove the caps from the VCF and replace with 220 pF disk ceramic, which will lower the cutoff frequency. The filter chip was designed for 300 pF, and for some reason, perhaps related to control voltages, Sequential went with 150, so that most of the range of the VCF cutoff is ultrasonic. But switching to disk caps also makes the synth sound like the original, even at 150 pF. Big improvement in resonance etc.

I cant get over how good this synth sounds... and price has dropped too...

Hi.
i just received the behringer pro one fromThomann .It is a new batch.
why does it ship with an outdated firmware-1.26?
current version is 1.31.
Is there any reason that Behringer decided to ship current pro ones with outdated firmware?



I also noticed that the lower note when played with midi,is not too low.(C1)
Is it any way to play lower notes?

Behringer Pro-1 midi note range

Yes, i know that this is a known problem. I just asked if there is any known solution. Maybe an Intternal setting, a hack, whatever...

Just set oscillator 2 to low and you can play a bunch of lower notes. You could (possibly) also use a negative DC source to pitch the pro one down. I'll have to check if the midi still works when the pitch input is receiving CV but it probably does.

CV/Gate...

thanks.I ll try both

Yes. They decided to have a chuckle by annoying you.

On on serious note, what do you expect? A vendor leaving stacks of unshipped units at the factory, to constantly update them, bevor they get to the resellers? Resellers unwrapping them after receival to keep them constantly updated before they eventually get sold and shippend to the end user?

People these days.

I bet your particulat unit was produced many months ago, when either 1.26 or rather the version before that were out. Because, how do you know if it is a "new batch"? Check the serial # against others.

You are so ironic. . I understand that you feel a superior human being but have in mind those infos:
My unit came with firmware 1.26.This firmware was released 4-5 years ago. latest version is 1.31 and there were about 2 firmware versions between those 2.
I ordered it from thomann, the biggest reseller in Europe and when I ordered it it had a waiting time of more than 2 months. So it wasn't in stock. They ordered new units from behringer. My unit is not a b stock.
Updating firmware, is a piece of cake for me.I have many synths and big experience. Obviously I asked for different reasons whatever I asked, not the reasons that you 'd hope for. I set up pcs and studios many years now.
Forums are a place to help, not mock and underestimate people.
So please next time, before you answer, just rethink what you ll write and the real reason you want to answer.

**it doesn' t matter if my unit is an older batch. My answer is the same.

**for your knowledge, there are cases that companies suggest an older firmware for some specific reasons, related with specific hardware parts-changes. I have faced such an issue with my sequential ob6(not really a problem cause sequential informs you which firmware is suitable for your synth, based on its serial number).

***you just lost your bet.

<moderator message - good morning. if there's some offending post in your opinion, please don't comment before flagging it? anyway.. can you two bury the hatchet please? thanks>

I want to argue in favor of keeping old firmwares to reduce costs, but as I was typing a response, I remembered that my Bro 1 has the first firmware on it with the muffed up envelopes, so maybe I'm just too lazy and thrifty.

I guess there are a few different envelope variations, depending on the firmware version. One might not want to update nilly-willy without reading other folks descriptions. There are a couple of people that regretted updating (or updated too far) and you can't easily go back.
