Sound designer Anton Anru shared this preview of his new patch collection for the Behringer Proton. The collection features 50 patches, including 14 leads, 12 basses, 14 plucks, and 10 paraphonic timbres.
The Proton is Behringer’s second original Eurorack synth design, following the Neutron, which was introduced about six years ago.
The Proton is arguably their most powerful all-in-one synth design yet, packing a ton of capabilities and an extensive selection of modular patch points into an 80HP Eurorack module.
Here’s what Anru has to say about the Behringer Proton patch library:
“Exploring Behringer’s new synthesizer was an exciting process for me. It boasts an impressive feature set, including two powerful oscillators capable of generating a wide range of tones, two advanced LFOs, two multi-mode filters, and a wavefolder that adds rich sonic textures. Additionally, it comes with two extra envelopes that can loop, essentially turning them into additional LFOs, and, of course, the patch panel, which opens up endless experimentation possibilities.
With this sound bank, I wanted to dive deep into these features and create medium to highly complex patches. The title «Sound Diver» reflects this desire to explore the sonic depths while keeping the sounds usable and adaptable for a wide range of music and performances. My goal was to strike a balance between experimental and musical sounds.”
Note: Since the Behringer Proton does not have patch memory, this sound library is supplied as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how a patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance.
“By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth,” adds Anru.
