2. Getting Started
Your Proton was carefully packaged in the factory to guarantee
safe transport. Nevertheless please check the packaging for any
sign of physical damage before opening; and, after opening,
please also check the contents before use. If the packaging or the
Proton are damaged in any way please return to the dealer for
replacement. This does not aect your warrantyrights.
Please ensure that your Proton is used in a suitable environment
that is within its recommended operating temperature range
(5°C to 40°C, 41°F to 104°F), is not over humid and is out of
directsunlight.
Please only use the supplied power adaptor to connect your
Proton to the mains.
This manual is designed to be used alongside the Quick Start Guide
included in your package and goes into your Proton’s features in
much greater depth.
Please ensure that your Proton is powered up before powering up
mixers, ampliers etc. to ensure that your loudspeakers are not
damaged. Switch o your amplier rst at the end of the session.
Your Proton can be controlled from a suitable keyboard or
DAW over 5-pin DIN or USB MIDI, and by CV and gate via its
comprehensive patchbay. It is advised to only use one control
source to avoid unexpected results.
Your Proton is a class compliant USB device and requires no
drivers to work with either Mac OS™or Microsoft Windows™.
It is recommended that you use the SynthTribe app, which is
available as a free download from Behringer.com to check for
rmware updates, as well as for easy access to your Proton’s
additionalfeatures.
The MIDI channel of the Proton can be set using the 4 dip switches
on the rear panel, or, if these are not available (eg when using a
Eurorack case) via the Synthtribe app.
Your Proton can be used as a standalone desktop synth, removed
from its case and mounted in a Eurorack case (see Quick Start
Guide for the correct procedure for achieving this) or mounted
in a standard 19" rack, usingBehringer Model D rack ears
(suppliedseparately).
Throughout your Proton a red LED indicates that the rst of any
dual item is being controlled where controls are shared, with a
white LED indicating that the second is under control. In some
instances there are separate LEDs where both can be controlled
together or individually.
Throughout this manual the use of the abbreviation CW indicates
clockwise motion; CCW indicates counter-clockwise.
17 PROTON User Manual
3. Oscillators
Your Proton has two analog VCOs, whose pitch can be controlled
by MIDI (5-pin DIN or USB) or from a suitable CV source in the
range -5 V to +5 V. The VCOs are capable of producing frequencies
between 0.7 Hz to 50 kHz. Each VCO has its own controls for
tuning, range, shape, pulse width and sub mix. In addition there is
an Oscillator mix control and buttons to select Oscillator sync and
paraphonic mode.
3.1 Tuning
The two VCOs can be individually tuned by 13 semitones up or
down.
3.2 Range
The two VCOs can have their range set to either 32’, 16’ or 8’, which
is indicated by the LEDs on the front panel. The ranges can be
stepped through using the range buttons, from 8’ down to 32’.
When all three LEDs are let on either VCO it is in ten octave mode
and will respond to the full note range.
Shape
The Proton VCOs have ve waveshapes, which can either be
switched or blended using the SynthTribe app or according to the
second panel settings. Press Range (Osc 1 or 2) for two seconds
and, once it is ashing, use the para button to toggle between
switched and blended for the selected oscillator. Press Range
again for two seconds to exit second panel.
The basic shapes are:
Sine
Triangle
Sawtooth
Square/Pulse
Tone Mod
When the blending option is selected then adjacent waves blend
into one another, with the more dominate wave’s LED showing
brighter. Thesewaveforms are:
Sine/Triangle
Triangle/Sawtooth
Sawtooth/Square
Square/Tone Mod
18 PROTON User Manual
3.3 Sub-Oscillators
Each oscillator has its own sub-oscillator, whose waveform is
independent of the main one selected, and whose pitch is one
octave below that of the oscillator. To change the sub-oscillator
waveform press and hold the relevant VCO’s range button for
more than two seconds, until it starts ashing. Then use the LFO
encoder to select the required wave. Pressthe range button again
to return to main panel functions. Alternatively the waveform can
be selected using the SynthTribe app. The choice of waveforms
is: square, sawtooth, triangle or sine. Please note that although
the LFOs have a ramp wave as an option this is not available as a
sub-oscillator choice.
The main and sub-oscillators can be mixed using the sub mix
control. Atthe central position they are at equal levels, turning
the control clockwise (CW) emphasizes the main VCO; counter-
clockwise (CCW) emphasizes the sub.
3.4 Width
On each oscillator the square and tone mod waveforms can
have their pulse width altered by means of the width controls.
Therange is 10% duty to 90% duty.
3.5 Sync
The waveform cycle of Osc 2 can be synchronized to Osc 1 by
pressing the sync button. The further that Osc 2 is tuned away
from Osc 1 the more dramatic the eect. Modulation of Osc 2
from an envelope generator produces a classic eect. This can be
achieved by mixing an incoming CV from a keyboard, such as the
Behringer Swing with the output of an ASR envelope generator
using the CV mixer in the utilities section.
3.6 Paraphonic Mode
Pressing the para button puts the Proton into paraphonic mode,
where playing two notes will assign one to each oscillator.
The note priority can be set dierently for normal mode and
paraphonic mode. To select the note priority for normal mode
press and hold the sync button for more than two seconds, until it
ashes, then use the VCF 1 mode button to select: LPF = lowest
note priority; HPF = highest note priority and BPF = latest note
priority. For paraphonic selection use VCF 2 mode to select: LPF =
Osc 1 will play the lowest note, Osc 2 the highest; HPF = Osc 1 will
play the highest note, Osc 2 the lowest; BPF = Osc 1 will play the
rst note, Osc 2 the second. Pressing the para button again saves
your selection. This can also be done using the SynthTribe app.

4. Wavefolder
The wavefolder works by ‘folding’ a waveform back onto itself to create complex harmonics. The Proton wavefolder has two controls and
fourmodes.
4.6.1 Folds
The folds control sets the level of folding that the wavefolder performs, turning it CW increases the number of folds. Turning it fully CCW
has the eect of cancelling the input altogether.
4.6.2 Symmetry
The Sym(metry) control causes the top of the waveform to be folded in a dierent way to the bottom, thus altering the timbre further.
Amplitude Modulation
When the wavefolder is set to AM (amplitude modulation) mode the sym control has no eect, and the folds control alters the amplitude
of the waveform. When it is turned fully CCW the waveform is cancelled altogether; turning it CW brings the wave back in until at full CW
the waveform is unaltered.
Folds fully CW Folds midway Folds fully CCW
4.1 1/2
½ mode allows both controls to work on the waveform, but at half intensity. As with the AM mode turning the folds control fully CCW
cancels out the incoming waveform, regardless of where the sym control is set.
Therefore, with the folds control at the midway point altering the sym control gives the following results:
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
And with the folds control fully CW:
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
4.2 1
With the mode set to 1 the wavefolder controls work to their full intensity. As it the other modes turning folds fully CCW cancels
theinput.
Therefore, with the folds control at the midway point altering the sym control gives the following results:
20 PROTON User Manual
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
And with the folds control fully CW:
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
4.3 Bypass
When the wavefolder is in BP (bypass) mode neither of the controls have any eect, and the incoming waveform is passed to the VCFs
unaltered. Please note that when the wavefolder is used to process an external signal, which can be done using its in and out sockets on
the patchbay, setting the mode to BP will allow the internal oscillator mix to feed into the VCFs.
4.4 Modulation
Both folds and sym can be modulated by any modulation source, unipolar or bipolar in the range -5 V to +5 V via the dedicated
sockets on the In patchbay. The modulation source(s) are summed with the internal controls and can be used to produce even more
pronouncedeects.
5. Filters
The Proton has two, independent, 12 dB/octave VCFs, which can also have some of their functions linked together.
5.1 Mode
Each of the lters can be switched into either low pass, band pass or high pass mode. The current mode is indicated by an LED next to the
appropriate panel graphic.
5.2 Frequency
The lters’ cuto frequencies can be set using the freq 1 and 2 controls and can also be externally controlled by a voltage in the range -5V
to +5 V via the In patchbay. Both have a range of 10 Hz to 15 kHz. The frequency of each lter can also be modulated by a voltage in the
range -5 V to +5 V via the In patchbay, which will replace LFO 1 as the modulation source.
5.3 Resonance
The resonance of the lters can be adjusted using the reso 1 and 2 controls, and can also be externally controlled by a voltage in the range
-5 V to +5 V via the In patchbay. Increasing the resonance emphasizes a band of frequencies around the lter cuto frequency, until at
the highest settings the lter will self-oscillate.
5.4 Link
The link button has dierent eects, according to whether the red or the white LED is lit. When neither is lit it has no eect.
Red: VCF 2 will be modulated by the VCF 1 modulation source rather than that of VCF 2.
White: VCF 2 will be modulated by an inversion of the VCF 1 modulation source.
21 PROTON User Manual
5.5 Modulation Depth
These controls determine the level of modulation depth to each
of the lters. When link is not in use then VCF 1 is modulated by
LFO 1 or a source patched via the pacthbay; and VCF 2 by LFO 2
or a source patched via the patchbay. When they are linked then
the modulation is as described above, but the controls are still
eective for their respective lters.
There is a second modulation available, which can be set up
using the SynthTribe app, or by using the second panel functions.
Toaccess this press and hold the mode button for the required
lter for two seconds. When it starts to ash use the LFO encoder
to select one of the following modulation sources:
Sine: no source (default)
Triangle: MIDI velocity
Sawtooth: MIDI mod wheel CC #1)
Square: MIDI aftertouch
Pressing the shift button then allows the LFO encoder to set the
modulation depth for the selected source.
5.6 Soft
The soft button softens the resonance of the selected lter.
Ifneither LED is lit then then resonance is not softened, red means
that only VCF 1 is softened, white VCF 2 and both LEDs mean that
both are aected.
Envelope Depth
The envelope depth controls set the amount of ADSR envelope
modulation to each lter from ADSR 1.
5.7 Key
The key button selects whether either, both or neither lter tracks
the keyboard input. If neither LED is let then neither lter is
tracking, red means the VCF 1 tracks, white VCF 2 and both means
that both track.
5.8 Filter Mix
The setting of this control determines how much of the output
of each lter is fed to 1VCAs. At the center point both lters are
fed equally, turning the control CCW biases towards VCF 1; CW to
VCF 2.
5.9 Noise
The noise control sets the level of white noise that is fed into the
lters alongside the VCOs. When it is fully CCW then no noise
is present, fully CW then the noise is of equal volume to the
oscillatormix.
6. Voltage Controlled Ampliers
The Proton has two parallel VCAs. Each has an independent bias
control that will allow a level of signal through regardless of what
the control source is doing. When the bias controls are fully CCW
then the VCAs are entirely under the control of their respective
sources, when they are fully CW then the sources are overridden.
Under normal operation VCA 1 receives the output of the lter
mix and VCA 2 receives the output of VCF 2. Both are controlled
by ADSR 2. However either or both can be send a dierent input,
and/or be controlled from a dierent source using the relevant
sockets on the In patchbay. VCA 1 feeds into the Proton’s main
and headphone outputs, but also have their own outputs on the
Out patchbay, which do not break the connection to main and
headphone.
7. Levels
7.1 Main Volume
The levels section contains the volume control for the main line
level output (the volume control for the headphone output is on
the rear panel).
7.2 External Level
The level control for external signals to be processed by the
Proton’s VCFs, whose input socket is also on the rear panel.
7.3 MIDI In
The Proton’s 5-pin DIN MIDI in is also situated on the front
panel. The MIDI input channel can be selected either by the four
dip switches on the rear panel or by using the SynthTribe app.
TheMIDI in socket is accompanied by two LEDs which light when a
MIDI note is received on the selected channel.
22 PROTON User Manual
8. ADSR Envelope Generators
The Proton has two entirely independent ADSR envelope generators, which are individually triggered via the In patchbay. ADSR 1 is
normally used to modulate the lters, while ADSR 2 is connected to the VCAs, although this connection can be broken using the In
patchbay; and the ADSR curves are also available to patch into other destinations on the Out patchbay.
8.1 Attack
Each ADSR envelope has an attack time from around 300 µs when the control is fully CCW to 7 s when the control is fully CW, in fast mode.
In slow mode the maximum time increases to 42 s.
8.2 Decay
Each ADSR envelope has a decay time from 2.4 ms when the control is fully CCW to 20 s when the control is fully CW, in fast mode. In slow
mode the maximum time increases to 1 m 56 s.
8.3 Sustain
The sustain level can be adjusted to give no sustain at all when the control is fully CCW to full sustain at whatever level decay falls to when
the control is fully CW, until the key is released.
8.4 Release
Each ADSR envelope has a release time from 1.5 ms when the control is fully CCW to 24 s when the control is fully CW, in fast mode.
Inslow mode the maximum time increases to 2 m. Please note that is sustain is fully CCW then release will not function.
8.5 Fast/Slow
The F/S button allows the ADSR envelope generators to be switched from their normal (fast) mode to slow mode, where times are
extended signicantly. The associated LEDs light to indicate whether either, neither or both ADSRs are in slow mode.
8.6 Retrigger
When retrig is o, which is its default state, any new notes played while a note is held will not cause the envelope generator(s) to break
their cycle. Switching retrig on will cause any new note played to start a new envelope cycle, regardless of whether another note is being
held. Please note that retrigger only works when the Proton is under MIDI control.
23 PROTON User Manual
9. Low Frequency Oscillators
The Proton has two independent LFOs. Owing to space considerations some controls are shared between the two, which is achieved by
use of the shiftbutton.
9.1 Rate
Each LFO has its own rate control, with a range from 0.01 Hz at full CCW to 200 Hz at full CW.
9.2 Depth
Each LFO has its own depth control, which allows full amplitude when turned CW, with the amplitude reducing to zero as it is turned CCW.
100% depth 50% depth 0% depth
9.3 Shift
The shift button is used to select which LFO is aected by shared controls. When it is lit in red then LFO 1 is aected, white for LFO 2.
Theshift control is also used to select which ASR envelope is aected by their shared buttons.
9.4 Waveform
Each LFO can have its own waveform selected from ramp, square, sawtooth, triangle and sine. These waveforms can also be set to blend
rather than being switched, either by using the SynthTribe app, or by the second panel function. Press 1-shot for two seconds and, once it
is ashing, use the para button to toggle between switched and blend for LFO 1. Press 1-shot again for two seconds to exit second panel.
For LFO 2 press the LFO retrig button for two seconds, then para. Press retrig again to exit second panel.
Ramp Square Sawtooth
Triangle Sine
The waveform blending is a continuous process, so there are many possible blends of adjacent waveforms
Ramp / Square Square / Sawtooth Sawtooth / Triangle
24 PROTON User Manual
Triangle / Sine Sine / Ram
9.5 1-Shot
When 1-shot is selected a trigger or gate received at the relevant LFO’s trigger in on the In patchbay will cause that LFO’s waveform to
reset to the start of its cycle.
9.6 Sync
Sync synchronizes the selected LFO to incoming MIDI clock. In order for sync to work the relevant LFO must have had sync selected using
the SynthTribe app or using the second panel functions. For LFO 1 press the 1-shot button for two seconds until it ashes, then press sync,
then press 1-shot again to exit. For LFO 2 use the retrig button.
9.7 Retrigger
LFO retrigger resets the LFO’s cycle to the start on the when a key is pressed, regardless of whether another key is already being held
(dependent on note priority). Please note that retrigger will only work correctly when LFO sync is selected, and with a MIDI source.
CV/gate control will work in the same way as 1-shot.
9.8 Key Tracking
Either LFO can have a variable depth key tracking enabled. This can either be done using the SynthTribe app or by using the second panel
functions. For LFO 1 press and hold the 1-shot button for two seconds until it starts ashing, then use the LFO encoder to adjust the
depth. Then press 1-shot again to exit second panel. For LFO 2 use the retrig button.
25 PROTON User Manual
10. ASR Envelope Generators
The Proton has two ASR envelope generators, which can be
individually triggered from the In patchbay. Because the buttons
are shared between the two the shift button in the LFO section
should be used to toggle between the two. Buttons light up in red
when they are selected for ASR 1, white for ASR 2.
10.1 Attack
Each ASR envelope generator has an attack time which is
adjustable between 0 ms when the control is fully CCW and 8 s
when it is fully CW.
10.2 Release
Each ASR envelope generator has a release time which is
adjustable between 0 ms when the control is fully CCW and 31 s
when it is fully CW.
10.3 Loop
When loop is selected the relevant ASR envelope generator will
repeat its attack/release cycle for as long as a gate is present at
its input. If sustain is selected then the loop function will not
work, as the envelope will sustain for as long as the gate is present
before releasing.
10.4 Bounce
When bounce is selected the relevant ASR envelope generator will
go through its attack/release cycle, then reverse it so that release
becomes attack and attack release for as long as a gate is present
at its input.
10.5 Sustain
Selecting sustain adds a sustain element to the envelope curve.
10.6 Invert
Selecting invert causes the envelope curve to change from a
positive going 0 V to + 10 V to 0 V to – 10 V.
10.7 Reverse
Selecting reverse turns the release into attack and attack into
release on the selected ASR.
10.8 Retrigger
When retrigger is selected the relevant ASR envelope generator
will start a new cycle every time it receives a new gate.
All of the buttons can be used in any combination. Please note
that some button combinations do not necessarily give the desired
aect, so it is worth checking which combinations are best for
your work.
26 PROTON User Manual
11. Utilities
The Proton has four patchable utilities
11.1 CV Mix
The CV mix allow two voltage sources to be mixed together. Ifno
plugs are inserted into the In patchbay then the two sources are
LFO 1 and LFO 2. When the control is at midway both sources are
equally represented, turning it CCW emphasizes source 1; CW
source 2.
11.2 Portamento
The portamento control introduces a glide eect between
notes, with the glide time increasing as the control is turned
CW. Thisonly works when the Proton is under MIDI control.
Hold the rst note while playing the second to activate the
portamentoeect.
11.3 Attentuverters
The Proton has two independent attenuverters, which accept a
CV from the In patchbay and output to the Out patchbay. In each
case when the control is at midway no voltage is passed, turning
the control fully CW passes the voltage unaltered; turning it CCW
passes an inverted voltage.
12. In Patchbay
The Proton features a forty input patchbay that allows CV and
audio sources to be routed as signals or controls to the various
sections, whether these are sourced internally from the Out
patchbay or externally. CVs are in the range -5 V to +5 V,
unlessotherwise stated.

12.5 External Audio
Ext in sends and external audio signal whose level is controlled
by the Ext Level control into the Proton VCFs (this is a duplicate of
the socket on the rear panel); Out (in) overrides the internal signal
ow and sends an external audio signal whose level is not aected
by the Ext Level control direct to the Proton’s main output on the
rear panel.

The input socket is a TS 6.35 mm jack which duplicates the 3.5 mm
jack on the In patchbay and feeds an external audio signal into the
Proton’s lters.
14.2 Output
The output socket is a TS 6.35 mm jack which sends the VCA
output as adjusted by the output level control to external mixers,
ampliers etc.
14.3 Phones
The phones out is a TRS 6.35 mm jack socket suitable for use with
any standard headphones. It is independent of the output level
control, and has its own dedicated level control adjacent.
14.4 MIDI channel select
Use these four dip switches to set the MIDI in channel of the
Proton as illustrated:
Please note that this setting can be overridden using the
SynthTribe app.
14.5 MIDI Thru
This 5-pin DIN socket can be used to mirror incoming MIDI
messages received on the front panel MIDI In socket.
14.6 USB
This USB 2.0 Type B socket can be used to control the Proton over
MIDI, for example direct from a DAW, and to alter settings and
update the rmware via the SynthTribe app.
14.7 Power
The Proton comes supplied with a 12 V 1000 mA PSU. This is
the only PSU that should be used, unless the Proton is Eurorack
mounted. The adjacent switch can be used to switch the Proiton
on and o as required.

16. Factory Restore
If it becomes necessary to restore the Proton to its factory settings press and hold the Osc Para and Osc Sync buttons while powering up.
17. Polychaining
If you have multiple Proton units, you can connect them in a ‘Poly Chain’ to produce polyphonic sounds. The Proton works by sending
unhandled notes to the next in the chain. When the chain runs out, subsequent notes are not played. The rst Proton plays the rst played
note, the second plays the second, thethird plays the third etc. Note that a Proton in Paraphonic mode will handle 2 notes. Each Proton
must have the same MIDI channel number set using the rear panel switches or SynthTribe app. The Poly Chain connections are shown in
the diagram. Set the Poly Chain ON for all Protons. The last Proton in the chain can either be set to Poly Chain on or o depending on how
you would like the MIDI information to be handled. If Poly Chain is on, the last Proton will act as if it is sending the next played note over
the maximum number of notes played to the next device in the chain, and the note will not be heard or dropped. If Poly chain is o for the
last Proton, the next played note over the maximum number of notes will steal the last played note from the last Proton. To toggle Poly
Chain mode, press and hold the OSC SYNC button for 2 seconds. The LED will repeatedly ash (once when in mono mode - twice when in
duo mode). Ashort press on the PARA button will still toggle the PARA/MONO mode. Hold PARA to exit. If you are only using one Proton,
make sure the PolyChain is OFF.

according to a dened standard.
MIDI Clock – a timing signal that is sent as part of the MIDI data.
MIDI Message – data transmitted from one MIDI device to another that constitutes an instruction.
Mix – The balance between two or more signals.
Modulation – The use of sources to control a parameter of a destination.
Monophonic – Only allowing one note to be played at a time.
Noise – A random sound comprising of all frequencies.
Note Priority – Determines which note is played when the maximum number is exceeded. Typically lowest, highest or last.
Octave – A measure of pitch.
Oscillator (Osc or VCO) – The basic sound source of the synthesizer.
Oscillator Sync – The process by which the cycle of one oscillator is synchronized to the cycle of another.
Output – Can refer both to the signal sent out from one part of the synthesizer to another, or to the physical sockets used to connect to
external equipment.
Parameter – A setting whose value can be changed.
Paraphony – When two or more oscillators are playing dierent notes, but feeding into the same lter(s), VCAs (etc) this is known as
paraphony.
Phase – The measurement in degrees of the time dierence between two waveforms or a waveform and a xed reference point.
Pitch Bend – Changing the pitch of a note up or down while it is being played.
Polychain – The linking of two or more monophonic synthesizers via MIDI to share note input polyphonically.
Portamento – The eect of ‘gliding’ the pitch between notes rather than changing instantly.
Pulse Wave – A wave similar to a square wave, but whose symmetry can be changed.
Pulse Width Modulation – The modulation of the symmetry of a pulse wave.
Rate – The speed at which an action takes place.
37 PROTON User Manual
Release Time – The nal stage of the envelope. Specied as the time taken for the envelope to reach zero once keys have been released.
Resonance – The emphasis of frequencies centered on the cuto frequency.
Sample & Hold (S&H) – the sampling of a waveform, typically that of an LFO or noise source, to provide a series of voltages at a set rate.
Sawtooth – A waveform resembling the teeth of a saw, with an instantaneous leading edge followed by a gradual decline to zero point.
Self Oscillation – The point at which a lter starts to produce a sine wave output owing to excessive use of resonance.
Semitone – A measure of pitch. Each octave contains 12 semitones.
Sequencer – A part of the synthesizer which can be programmed with a series of notes and/or chords which are then repeated back at a
selected tempo.
Signal Flow – The path of a signal from one part of the synthesizer to another.
Sine Wave – A smooth waveform that contains only the fundamental frequency with no harmonics.
Square Wave – a symmetrical waveform which changes instantaneously from zero state to full.
Sustain Level – The third stage of the envelope. This is the level that the envelope holds at after decay until keys are released.
Synchronization (Sync) – Co-ordinating the timing of devices where one is the master and the other(s) are synchronized to it.
Trigger – The activation of a function, for example pressing a key to start the Envelope cycle.
Tune – The adjustment of the pitch of an instrument to be the same as that of another instrument; or the adjustment of one oscillator to
be in tune with the other.
Unison – Two or more voices played together on the same key(s).
Universal Serial Bus (USB) – An interface that can be used to connect your synthesizer to a DAW, or to receive rmware updates.
Velocity – The strength at which the keyboard is played, which can be used as a modulation source.
Voltage Controlled Amplier (VCA) – An amplier whose level can be adjusted by control voltages, for example from an
envelopegenerator.
