yup must be something like that… would have been nice but I can also use a good chorus. I just love wide and lush sounds…
PDF is on the Behringer Website but it does not really provide much detail. Have to wait for loopopo

Awesome - we have starsky carr to thank for some of those (the lack of filter mod depth via envelope was the take-home from an extensive video he made, it was the only thing that i found hard to overlook (as a direct comparison) the unit still sounds amazing whether it has the same control range, but it’s quite amazing this was addressed so soon, the video is a few days old )
so some of the variations discussed here are already addressed !
Improvements
- increased range for the VCF envelope amount and LFO to VCF modulation
- poly aftertouch reimplemented and improved
- increased range on the poly mode filter envelope
- added a lowpass filter to the aftertouch function to smoothen the response and make it more musical.
Fixes
- reduced Settings save timer from 47 to 3 sec. which solves all issues related to settings not being stored after a power cycling
- resolved ARP UP-DN issue when only one key is pressed
- improved LFO target: resolved Ab, A, and b settings
- resolved CC=59, LFO target for Ab, A and b which was related to an issue where LFO target was not working when connected to a DAW
- resolved voice assign issue to the same note, related to some Yamaha piano instruments

That is great, just received mine… first impression is that the sounds I just created sounds different as if the filter is more open.

So I read this post about an hour ago, updated the OS and checked out the differences with the intention of posting here but got carried away!
The filter envelope mod alone has made a huge difference. I did the same test for the short decay bass sound against the same T5 patch and I could get them almost identical. They were both easily as punchy just with a very slightly different timbre which I’ll put down to the oscillator and filter differences.
I also noticed the change to the voice allocation. Id previously heard the odd occasion when it sounded like some notes in chords weren’t articulating properly but it could well have been that bug. It’s not done it for the last hour sequencing and playing chords so that’s good.
An excellent upgrade all round imo. If they add poly chaining I’ll be over the moon!

Playing about with the voice spread and found out what it does…
When in poly mode the amount of detune set in the unison detune menu is applied to the voices as they cycle through. At low detune settings (<5) the effect is quite subtle, between 5 and 10 is a bit like a vintage mode effect, like an old poly with sloppy calibration. Once you crank it up it can get all over the place. It also works with the onboard arp as that cycles the voices. At extremes it could be useful for pseudo random notes maybe?

I looked into poly chaining the td3 but it looked like it had to be usb via a pc … not as simple as midi out / midi in to the 2nd device.
I gave up and moved on with my life ( mostly … except for commenting about it here )

Is there a way to sync the LFO‘s? Probably not but maybe someone figured it out
Thanks and yes I can confirm… everything above 40 is kinda bonkers

That’s a useful overview of all the settings, one nice feature which wasn’t obvious until now is that it has poly-aftertouch (assuming you can serve that up) … there is a lot of depth in the settings btw
Mighty little poly, especially with the filter which doesn’t roll off the bass with added resonance, unlike the pro-1 … it’s gonna be on os 2.0 by the time I see mine !
According to Behringer’s official line, it doesn’t.
There’s a few pages of discussion of this in the Behringer Pro-800 thread on gearspace, it first had polyAT (as evidenced by a few users), then they removed it with an update followed by an official statement that it never had polyAT…weird one.
The new firmware reintroduces it.

I’ve seen that, just pointing out how weird it is that Behringer claims it never had it, because it clearly did respond to polyAT prior to two firmware updates ago.
Here’s the facebook post I mentioned (ie official line):
I dont think the social media managers at Behringer know all specs on the synths. I think that was just a quick reply without actually checking facts.
But since the Pro 800 has a aftertouch to lfo amount, and it only has one lfo. Poly aftertouch wont work with that setting. I bet that is the reason they maybe planned to not have poly aftertouch on this.
I really like the sound of this synth. The more i use it, the more i like it. And with the increased filter env amount it really sounds awesome.

According to people on Gearspace, sweetwater reps were also told by Behringer that the Pro 800 didn’t have nor could support PolyAT. This was AFTER the first firmware update. I can confirm from using the unit I owned, that prior to that update the synth DID support polyAT. That’s all I’m saying. It’s sort of weird how they’ve handled this PolyAT thing.
It’s Behringer, handling things weird is kinda their thing, I guess.
Anyway, I’ve never really been that bothered by polysynths, but I have to admit this one keeps catching my eye.
