True value-for-money synth
What Behringer did by adding a small patch bay really brings the initial Pro One synth architecture to modern times. The capabilities, especially when using stack cables, are numerous. Coming from a VST-only background, this module was a massive breath of fresh air for me, especially because of the feedback loop options. To clarify, I am not referring just to audio feedback, but even feedback routing like Mixer Out to OSC PWM.
As for the sound, it is capable of deep bass for sure, but where it shines is the higher frequencies. The oscillators have crisp, clear highs, and the Curtis filter is beautifully paired with them. Because of this (by default) bright sounding setup of components, I found the Pro-1 cutting through my mixes where Diva or other VSTs were lost, even when purposefully drowning them in long reverb. (as you do)
I use this module for both clear melodic content, and experimental music sound design, and I thoroughly enjoy it in both.
The cons I could spot where that, some features are hidden and need to be looked up online, and the Resonance CV tends to get loud easily.

A source of inspiration
Very well build quality, amazing sound (really takes you back...) and enough features to spark your creativity. The first time you played on this thing, time passes by as you fiddle with the controls and just listen to this beauty. Add a little bit of post-processing to this and you've got yourself a nice sounding new asset. I suggest taking a look at this video for a good explanation on every feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9rSB-72UAg

PRECIOUS - MUST HAVE
True analog sound, so warm, crisp, raw!
This synth is excellent for Basses, Drones, Arps/Seqs & FX.
Especially when grouped with FX pedals or VST FX, it can traverse dimensions!
The vintage Prophet 1 is among my favourite synths but out of reach nowadays, so I’m over the moon with this recreation which seems completely faithful to the original with some added features. It’s a precious piece of gear which should be in every studio!

HOLY MOTHER
I'd used an original one of these 2 decades ago, and it wailed in the best way possible. Behringer have outdone themselves, this is a faithful reproduction, but lacking a zero at the end of the price. Unreal.
It's like having all your birthdays, xmasses, orgasms all in one day.

Good but not perfect
It was handled perfectly by the amazing team from Thomann, as always their delivery was fast and accurate.
I had the pleasure to test it as a standalone unit through headphones, monitors and inside the daw, but here the first problems arose.
Regardless of the firmware update, the arpeggiator never worked, and it was a shame since the sound reproduction and build quality was very good.
Overall, the machine was very sturdy and incredibly intuitive and fast to get on but in the end it didn't click in me in terms of usability.
It's a nice machine for the price if you're not concerned about technical details.

Terrific
Amazing quality for the money. I have a neutron and a d from behringer as well but this is the one i like best of the 3. it is simpler/easier to use than the others - the controls seem a lot more solid and responsive than the other two and it has a sequencer which adds to the fun plus the modulation matrix is pretty easy to get your head around relative to the modulation on the other 2. If you want to buy one of the behringers and you are new to analog synths this is probablty the one to buy. Highly recommended.

Very authentic sounding
Takes a bit of getting used to but there are some great tutorials on youtube. It really comes to life with reverb and delay and its very thick sounding like the original. Sounds great in a mix.
Great value for money...
Pros:
- authentic sounding
- cheap
- easy to use arpeggiator and step sequencer
- hand on tweaking for oscillators and LFO's
cons:
- no preset saving

How I use it:
The Behringer Pro-1 is a beast at making thick basses. I love making deep reese basses, and this is where the modulation part of this synth really shines!
Pros & Cons:
+ It sounds like a proper analogue unit.
+ It's very good for basses and subs.
+ The modulation part is perfect for me.
+ It has Eurorack capabilities.
- It can get repetitive. There's not a whole lot of different sounds you can make. But it's great for basses, which is why I'm keeping it :)
