![]() There are four loopable five-stage envelope generators, three syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset, a full-featured arpeggiator, and a 32-slot modulation matrix with dozens of modulation sources and over a hundred destinations. The Pro 3’s Effects section provides delays, reverbs, time-domain effects such as chorus/phasing/flanging and more. Effects, Envelopes, LFOs, an Arpeggiator, and Extreme Modulation 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. Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio rates for extreme modulation effects. The Pro 3’s flexible architecture opens the door to not only processing external audio, but also to interfacing with modular synths through its 4 rear-panel control voltage inputs/outputs and a dedicated gate output. In addition to notes, sequence tracks can control any parameter in the 171-destination modulation matrix. It also syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input, and inputs/outputs control voltages. 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. Possibly the Pro 3’s most powerful performance tool is its sequencer. An additional Drive control provides still more punch when you really want to get down and dirty. Filter 3 is a 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. Filter 2 is a classic transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation to preserve its low-end punch. Filter 1 is a 4-pole low-pass design based on the Prophet-6 filter. ![]() Three Filters Based on Vintage DesignsĪt the heart of the Pro 3’s ballsy sound are its vintage-style filters. Tuned feedback with grunge, and analog distortion deliver industrial-grade nastiness on demand. With 32 tables of 16 waves each and wave morphing, tonal possibilities are immense. Its two voltage controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence while its third wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. The Pro 3 is a hybrid of solid, old-school analog synthesis paired with versatile digital technology. Throw in dual digital effects and four control voltage ins and outs, and you’ve got a hugely powerful instrument that’s as exciting to program as it is to play. The Pro 3 boasts three oscillators, three vintage filters, three LFOs, four loopable envelopes, a massive 32-slot mod matrix, and a 16 x 16 x 4 sequencer. Enter the Pro 3, Sequential’s 2-VCO + wavetable mono/paraphonic synth - a new benchmark for raw sonic power and unrivalled versatility. So it was only natural that we build on their strengths with an even more worthy successor. The Sequential Pro 1 and Pro 2 mono synths achieved nearly legendary status in their time. ![]() Sequential Pro 3 A Three-Generation Legacy
