Roland have had more than long enough to satisfy the demand for this one, yet have chosen to not only ignore it, but even belittle the idea as 'chasing ghosts'.
This is one I can definitely get behind.

And I though it would be wrong of me not to post this but Behringer seem to be on a roll... Looks like Dave's got some competition
It appears to be a 16 voice Prophet 5 clone, guess it will be a fair bit cheaper than even the 5 voice DSI/Sequential Rev 4., wonder which revision it will clone or if it will be switchable?

OK, I’m going to be severely challenged in the smuggling department soon, a VCS3, now this Prophet, my partner keeps wondering why my friend is loaning me so many keyboards.
My modular, thanks to Behringer, is growing like our garden in summer, it’s getting difficult passing modules off as "been in storage" where? she keeps saying.
Re: The All-New Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread
But it's not an original, and you have told us many times that you won't buy anything but the original of so much gear - why is this one different? (Let's save you some money)

Re: The All-New Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread
Elf, I have the Reissue Pro 5, but this is sixteen voices, and that’s more, so it’s better obviously
I’m going to get the Berry, just out of curiosity, if it’s that good, I may sell the Reissue, in fact, that can be my excuse from now on "out of curiosity"
Re: The All-New Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread
I really hope Focusrite fight this one.

Me too. Despicable business practices IMHO.
Re: The All-New Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread
Pretty much, yeah. Why not at least come up with your own styling if you’re going to build something ‘inspired’ by someone else’s idea? The Prophet 5 and 10 are current products available to buy new today from the original manufacturer.
B……. have some talented people working for them. Surely they could cobble together a different external design. They choose not to though because they know they’ll make money based on the fact that their synth looks like the original. All of the marketing has been done for them already.
Having said all that, this sort of practise happens in lots of industries so it’s not just B……..
I sometimes wonder if it’s any different to plugin developers using the same graphics as the gear they are emulating.

Some extra info from FB about the Pro-16, circuitry of all 3 revisions inside!
Behringer FB wrote:For all of you who are technically interested, you can easily witness the incredible complexity of the PRO-16. This synth uses over 6,000 components! Not only did we employ the original circuitries of all 3 revisions, we also added many features such as 16 voices, multi-timbrality, LCD display and a lot more. We started the ideation of this project around 5 years ago and it has since grown into an incredibly powerful flagship synth.
We still need many more month to finalize the firmware, but we’re confident that it’ll be much faster than the UB-Xa.
We’re hopeful to share some sounds with you in the near future.
Are you as excited as we are?
