Over the past several years, Behringer has released a deluge of diverse synthesizers that pay homage to the iconic instruments of the ’70s and ’80s, remixing and reimagining their numerous innovations in analog and digital synthesis for a modern audience. Their Pro-800 introduced the world to an 8-voice polyphonic analog powerhouse that merges the vaunted character of vintage synths with contemporary accessibility, punching leagues above its weight. Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s synthesis scholar, envisioned something greater than the sum of its parts: authentic-analog stereo immersion. But a chorus- or doubling effect wasn’t going to cut it. So, Daniel did the only logical thing a sound hound like himself would do and built a rackmounted rig with two Pro-800 synths to play with one controller. Because each synth is completely autonomous, the sonic-sculpting possibilities of the pair vastly exceed the dimensional limits of using a single synth and stereo playback. This is true stereo synthesis like you’ve never heard it before. Fire up your best speakers or grab your headphones!
