Common Behringer Proton Questions
How do I sync the Proton's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like my DAW or drum machine?
Connect the external MIDI clock source to the Proton's MIDI IN port. Then, press and hold the 'CLOCK' button while powering on the Proton. The Proton will now sync to the incoming MIDI clock.
Can I save patches (sound presets) on the Behringer Proton?
No, the Proton is a semi-modular analog synthesizer and does not have internal patch memory. You need to manually record the knob positions or use patch sheets to recreate sounds.
How do I transpose the sequence that's playing on the Proton?
While the sequencer is running, use the OCTAVE buttons to transpose the sequence up or down in octaves. The range is +/- 3 octaves.
My Proton isn't making any sound, but I can see the LEDs are lit. What could be the problem?
First, ensure the VCA Level knob is turned up and that the VCA EG/GATE switch is set to either EG or GATE. Then, check that the oscillator levels (OSC 1 and OSC 2) are not set to zero.
What does the 'Paraphonic' feature of the Proton mean, and how do I use both oscillators independently?
Paraphonic means you can play two notes simultaneously, sharing the same VCA and VCF, which in Proton's case are controlled by Oscillator 1's Envelope Generator. To play two notes independently, use the keyboard and ensure both OSC1 and OSC2 are set to different pitches; trigger one with the key press and the other with the sequencer.
