[August 21, 2024] The day has arrived, and the Proton is now available from Thomann* for $369.00 / £345.00 / 399.00€. With a wide range of features and an affordable price tag, this is certainly set to be a hit with Behringer fans worldwide.
With an extensive control set and a monster patching matrix, who knows what sounds you could create in minutes? Be sure to get your orders in to avoid disappointment.
Behringer Proton
[March 1, 2022] Behringer says it took a lot of hard work and 11 revisions to finalise the design for Proton. Perhaps it’s harder to come up with new ideas and designs than it is to work on recreating something that already exists? Anyway, it looks like the work has paid off because this comes across as very intriguing, complex, and potentially super-versatile.
Proton has dual analogue oscillators with 5 waveforms, sync, PWM, and independent sub-oscillators. The waveforms can be morphed between for added tone blending. It has dual analogue multi-mode, self-oscillating filters that can run in parallel or in series. There’s a ton of modulation with 2 ASR envelopes (which can loop in many directions), 2 ADSR envelopes, and 2 LFOs.
There’s a wavefolder, noise generator, and a whole host of useful utilities to broaden the patching experience. And talking of patching that patch bay is huge! Apparently, there are 64 patch points. A paraphonic mode releases the oscillators into a couple of notes of polyphony which is nice.
Proton is practically dripping with features, modular routings, and potential and the price is excellent.
There’s not much wrong with this one and I always enjoy it when Behringer does their own thing and Proton shows that they are more than capable of doing so.
Pricing and availability:
The Proton is currently available for order from Thomann, arriving in the coming months.

Why take shots at Behringer? It gives your article a cynical and negative vibe. Excite us about new music tech and save us the smack talk ❤️ For those of not born wealthy, being able to access a 303, or mini Moog, etc., makes us love Behringer even more 😉
I don’t even bother with the copy on most of these ‘synth gear’ sites when I read Behringer. I love the products.
generates more clicks is my guess.
Are you going to decide how he writes his own articles? You have probably never heard the word “no” in your life.

What did i do wrong now? I thought I was being super positive – this looks great!
Neutron was ugly with a chaotic layout, Proton looks more visually pleasing and well organized. Now all we need to do is wait till 2024 for availability. 😭
You can pimp out your B Neutron from Audio Parasites in Australia. The black one is very lovely, it makes mine look so much more snazzy.
The Neutron is absolutely Fantastic looking! Not the same old bullshit that Roland,Yamaha,and Korg put out,and I own synths by all of those manufacturers.
@Robin Vincent:
Any realistic idea when these things are hitting the shelves?
While we’re at it what do you think about the new MAPAX?
When we get ours let’s do a clinic or something? The big money question of the day: how is that piece of gear are going to handle audio looping… Sorry I didn’t want to write two comments
/me ducks
No idea at all – they say they are waiting on chips. Sorry, I don’t know what a MAPAX is.
Do you mean the Hapax?
Yes I’m sorry that was some weird typographical error I should’ve caught it but shows how lame I am as I speak on an international platform.
I’m moving over to your other article with this, convo thank you
Nah, a bit too modular for me. Robin will have it in his rack pronto, and Behringer should send him a freebie to review it. That modular nonesense is all patch cables and boffins with long foreheads. Makes no sense at all to me. Does anyone know what a filter is? Thirty years I’ve been trying to work it out. Three AI number one hits, even so. 😎. Will the next Behringer one be called the Electron, or is there a problem with that name?
Pre-ordered! Will fit nicely as the base synth in my Behringer 3-tier stand which already includes the Neutron and Kobol. Cables cost more than these synths, ffs!
cool. will probably pick a used taiga over this though
