Sequential Pro-3
The Sequential Pro-3 is a 3-voice mono/paraphonic synthesizer.
The Sequential Pro 1 and Pro 2 mono synths achieved nearly legendary status in their time. So it was only natural that we build on their strengths with an even more worthy successor. Enter the Pro 3, Sequential’s 2-VCO + wavetable mono/paraphonic synth — a new benchmark for raw sonic power and unrivalled versatility.
The Pro 3 is a hybrid of solid, old-school analog synthesis paired with versatile digital technology. Its two voltage controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence while its third wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. With 32 tables of 16 waves each and wave morphing, tonal possibilities are immense. Tuned feedback with grunge, and analog distortion deliver industrial-grade nastiness on demand.
Possibly the Pro 3’s most powerful performance tool is its sequencer. With 16 tracks, 16 steps, and 4 phrases, it features both real-time and step input, ratcheting, variable gate and sequence lengths, multiple playback modes, and paraphonic operation. It also syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input, and inputs/outputs control voltages. In addition to notes, sequence tracks can control any parameter in the 171-destination modulation matrix.
Two analog, voltage-controlled oscillators
One DSP-based digital oscillator
Analog oscillators produce three classic wave shapes: (triangle, saw, pulse) with variable shape modulation/pulse width on each
Digital oscillator produce 32 digital wavetables of 16 waves each with wave morphing, plus classic wave shapes (sine, triangle, saw, variable-width pulse) and super saw
Digital oscillator 3 can function as an LFO for complex wavetable-based modulation
White noise generator
Hard sync, per-oscillator Glide, Oscillator Slop
3-VOICE PARAPHONIC PLAYABILITY
3-voice paraphonic mode with individually-gated envelopes per oscillator
3 FILTERS
Three classic filter types
Filter 1 is a 4-pole, 24 dB per-octave, Prophet-6™ low-pass filter
Filter 2 is a classic, 4-pole, 24 dB per-octave, transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation
Filter 3 is a 2-pole, 12 db per-octave, OB-6™ state-variable filter. It can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode.
3 LFOS
Three syncable LFOs with phase offset and slew per LFO
Five waveshapes: triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, and S&H
4 ENVELOPES
Four ADSR envelopes with delay (Filter, VCA, and two Auxiliary envelopes)
Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations
All envelopes can repeat/loop
DIGITAL EFFECTS
Dual digital effects
Stereo delay, BBD delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, ring mod, vintage rotating speaker, distortion, high-pass filter, super plate reverb
FEEDBACK AND DISTORTION
Tuned feedback with Grunge for extra-aggressive tonal destruction
Programmable analog distortion
32-SLOT MODULATION MATRIX
32 slot modulation matrix with over 46 mod sources and over 171 mod destinations
Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing
Mod Matrix runs at audio rates
4 CONTROL VOLTAGE INS & OUTS AND GATE OUT
Four control voltage (CV) inputs and outputs for interfacing with modular synths and other CV-compatible devices
Parameters that can be sent to CV outputs include oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, sequencer tracks and any other source within the modulation matrix. Runs at audio rates.
Gate Out for triggering external CV-compatible devices. Any CV in can be used as a gate input.
16-TRACK SEQUENCER
Advanced sequencer with three modes: normal, gated, and trigger
16 tracks and 4 linkable 16-step phrases
Per-step ratcheting, duration, and velocity
Multiple playback modes: forward, reverse, forward/reverse, random
Supports real-time/step input, rests, and variable-length sequences
Syncs to MIDI clock and external audio and CV input
Sequences freely assignable to any modulation destination
ARPEGGIATOR
Sophisticated arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes
Syncs to MIDI clock and external audio and CV inputs
Re-latching arpeggiation
Runs concurrent with Sequencer for arpeggiated patterns with parameter automation
