Synthesizer
Sequential Pro 3, 3-voice monophonic and paraphonic synthesiser with 37-key keyboard.
ARTICLE N° 73504
Presentation
Following on from the Pro 1 and Pro 2, Sequential, formerly Dave Smith Instruments, presents the third generation with the Pro-3, a 3-voice wavetable mono/paraphonic synthesiser.
This synth is a concentrate of raw power and versatility: the first 2 CV-controlled oscillators offer warmth and presence, while the third wavetable-based oscillator opens up a whole new world of sounds.
The grunge and analogue distortion are as aggressive as you could wish for, for typically industrial sounds.
The sequencer is a key part of the Pro 3. It can be synchronised with MIDI clock and external audio input. The sequencer also manages any parameter in the 171-destination modulation matrix, in addition to the notes.

The Pro 3 features three oscillators, three vintage filters, three LFOs, four loopable envelopes, a huge 32-slot mod matrix and a 16 x 16 x 4 sequencer. Add two digital effects and four control voltage inputs and outputs, and you have an extremely powerful instrument that's as exciting to program as it is to play.
A new-generation classic
The Pro 3 is a hybrid of solid, old-school analogue synthesis and 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, the tonal possibilities are immense. Grunge-tuned feedback and analogue distortion deliver industrial-quality nastiness on demand.
Three filters based on vintage designs
At the heart of the Pro 3's jam-packed sound are its vintage-style filters. Filter 1 is a 4-pole low-pass design based on the Prophet-6 filter. Filter 2 is a classic transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation to preserve its low-end punch. Filter 3 is a classic 2-pole, variable-state design based on the OB-6 filter, which can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch and high-pass operation, with an optional bandpass mode. An additional Drive control provides even more punch when you really want to get down and dirty.
Plays well with modules
The Pro 3's flexible architecture opens the door not only to external audio processing, but also to interfacing with modular synths via its 4 control voltage inputs/outputs on the rear panel and a dedicated gate output. Control voltages can be assigned and routed from the modulation matrix and can operate at audio frequencies for extreme modulation effects. Some of the many parameters that can be sent to the CV outputs include oscillators, LFOs, envelopes and sequencer tracks, allowing the Pro 3 to become the central hub of a modular or multi-synth setup.
Effects, envelopes, LFOs, an arpeggiator and extreme modulation
Pro 3's effects section features delays, reverbs, time-based effects such as chorus / phasing / flanging, and more. There are four five-stage loop envelope generators, three synchronisable LFOs with sweep and phase shift, a full arpeggiator and a 32-slot modulation matrix with dozens of modulation sources and over a hundred destinations.
Monophonic and paraphonic operation
The Pro 3 was designed to be a super-powerful monophonic synthesizer, but it's also a versatile 3-voice paraphonic synthesizer. This not only allows you to play 3-note chords, but with creative use of effects and some very expressive oscillator modulation.
Put all that sonic power into a three-octave semi-ballasted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, add backlit pitch and modulation wheels and a location-sensitive touch slider, and you've got one of the most inspiring synths ever created.
