Uncompromising spec and a wealth of user-friendly features with lots of modulation complexity on hand. The Pro One was basically Sequential's attempt at taking their legendary Prophet 5 poly-synth and packing it into a compact, inexpensive, monophonic analog synth It has two VCOs, a great 4-pole lowpass filter, two ADSR envelopes (one for filter), and a compact three. Two send effects and the very unique and completely mental tuned feedback section complete the package, offering you the very best Sequential monosynth to date. It comes from the same period and genre as the Roland SH-101 and Moog Prodigy. The 4 knob/4 button screen interface is a familiar joy. The Pro 3 includes both analog and digital wavetable oscillators. The new user wavetables have made it even better. First of all, both Pro 3 models look great, especially the SE with its ala Moog hinge, traditional woods and printed panel design that matches the Sequential Prophet X. It really does stuff i've only accomplished with modular or layering in a DAW. (and that includes the P12) It can make amazing complex drones, eerie soundscapes and acoustic-lke timbres. When it comes to modulation, Sequential have a whopping 32-slot mod matrix which combines nicely with a greatly expanded sequencer section which includes 16 track for pitch, modulation and much more, letting to build complex control and evolving parts with ease. All great options, but i have to say the Pro3 is the most versatile and complex synth i have owned. Multi-filter mono/paraphonic synthesizer (168 pages) Synthesizer Sequential Prophet X User Manual.

Three filters, count 'em three provide the tonality from the prophet 6, the OB-6 and some Moog flavour in the form of a ladder style filter, with drive available across all three filter types. Synthesizer Sequential Prophet-5 1000 Technical Maintenance Manual. The next section that's been expanded on, is the filter section where Sequential have really put their best of the best on show. Pro 3 includes a whole new foray of features not seen in a Sequential synth before, for starters the oscillator section is comprised of two analogue oscillators with shape modulation and a third wavetable oscillator, with some of your standard wavetables and also a lot more unexpected ones, like drum slices and obscure vocal-style content, so even at the very source there's a lot of potential at your fingertips. The Sequential Pro3 is a hybrid monophonic / paraphonic synthesizer that combines the very best of discreet analogue circuitry with fresh, forward thinking digital sound generation all wrapped up in a user friendly, highly programmable keyboard.ĭave Smith has been making some of the most revered monosynths for the last five decades, Sequential broke the mould with the Pro1 delivering a true bass monster that found its way onto countless hit records of its era, a couple of decade later Dave Smith released the Pro2, a spiritual successor to the Pro1 which added a wealth of sequencing capabilities, a tonne of modulation options and CV connectivity, the Pro3 nods its hat to the Pro1 and takes some ques from the Pro2 in it's design and implementation, but greatly expands on that superb design.
