About this item
Building upon the success of the PRO 1 and PRO 2 synthesizers, the special edition Sequential PRO 3 SE Multi-Filter Mono/3-Voice Paraphonic Synthesizer features a handsome, multi-angle tilt-up panel, premium-grade walnut trim, and is designed for studio recording and live performance applications.
A Next-Generation Classic
Two voltage-controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence
One digital wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. (32 tables of 16 waves each + wave morphing)
Tuned feedback with grunge
Analog distortion
Three Filters Based on Vintage Designs
Filter 1: 4-pole low-pass design based on the Prophet 6 filter
Filter 2: Classic transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation to preserve low-end punch
Filter 3: Classic 2-pole, state-variable design based on the OB-6 filter that can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode
Additional Drive control provides more punch
Expressive Sequencing
16 tracks, 16 steps, and 4 phrases
Features both real-time and step input, ratcheting, variable gate, and sequence lengths
Multiple playback modes and paraphonic operation
Syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input, and inputs and outputs control voltages
Sequence tracks can control any parameter in the 171-destination modulation matrix
Plays Well with Modulars
Flexible architecture opens the door to processing external audio and interfacing with modular synths
Four rear-panel control voltage inputs/outputs and a dedicated gate output
Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix
Capable of running at audio rates for extreme modulation effects
Many parameters can be sent to the CV outputs including oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, and sequencer tracks
Allows Pro 3 to become the central hub of a modular or multi-synth setup
Effects, Envelopes, LFOs, an Arpeggiator, and Extreme Modulation
Effects section provides delays, reverbs, time-domain effects such as chorus/phasing/flanging, and more
Four loopable five-stage envelope generators
Three syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset
Full-featured arpeggiator
32-slot modulation matrix with 46+ mod sources and 171+ mod destinations
Monophonic and Paraphonic Operation
Designed to be a super-powerful monosynth, but it is also a versatile 3-voice paraphonic synth
3-note chords are possible
Creative use of effects and per-oscillator modulation yields highly expressive performance
Three-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch
Backlit pitch, mod wheels, and a location-sensitive touch slider
