Behringer Pro-1 Ctrlr panel documentation and instructions

Communication with your Pro-1 synth

If you don't want to manage global settings or if your Pro-1 is not connected by USB or Midi
to your PC then you can skip this section.

Preliminary info

As mentioned in the introduction of this manual, the Behringer Pro-1 synthesizer does not support
the load/save of programs or the manipulation of program parameters by Midi NRPN/CC messages.
It does however support the modification of global settings via sysex commands. Unfortunately, it is
also not possible to know/read the state of the global settings; only to send a message to set their
value.

Some examples of connection setup

You can connect your Pro-1, a master keyboard / controller and your computer in different ways. The
Midi settings in the panel will be different according to the setup you choose.
Configuration 1: full USB
─ Connect the Pro-1 to the computer by USB
─ Connect your master keyboard / controller to the computer by USB (connecting the master
keyboard by USB to the computer gives you the possibility to use it for the Pro-1 but also for VST
plugins or other soft synths)
─ Power the Pro-1 On
─ Start the Pro-1 panel
─ In the Midi menu, select Input – Device your_master_keyboard
─ In the Midi menu, select Input – Channel 1 (set this to the Midi channel of your Pro-1). This is
done to receive notes from the master keyboard.
─ In the Midi menu, select Output – Device Pro-1
─ In the Midi menu, select Output – Channel 1 (set this to the Midi channel of your Pro-1). This is
done to send Global Settings and Notes to the Pro-1
─ In the Midi menu, select Midi Thru – Input Device -> Output Device. This is done to send the
received notes to the synth
