It features a handsome, multi-angle tilt-up panel and full premium-grade walnut trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Power of 3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 3 SE boasts the same powerful sound engine as the standard edition Pro 3: three oscillators, three vintage filters, three LFOs, four loopable envelopes, a massive 32-slot mod matrix, and a 16 x 16 x 4 sequencer. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Next-Generation Classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 3 SE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Wavetables\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSequential’s web-based utility, \u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sequentialwaves.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWavetable Generator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sequentialwaves.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e allows you to convert up to 16 single-cycle waves into a Pro 3-compatible wavetable and load it into any of the 32 user wavetable slots on the synth. This significantly expands the sound palette of the Pro 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Filters Based on Vintage Designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Pro 3 SE’s ballsy 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, 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. An additional Drive control provides still more punch when you really want to get down and dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpressive Sequencing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly the Pro 3 SE’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlays Well with Modulars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 3 SE’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. Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio rates 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEffects, Envelopes, LFOs, an Arpeggiator, and Extreme Modulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 3 SE’s Effects section provides delays, reverbs, time-domain effects such as chorus\/phasing\/flanging and more. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMonophonic and Paraphonic Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro 3 SE was designed to be a super-powerful monosynth, but it is also a versatile 3-voice paraphonic synth. This makes playing 3-note chords not only possible, but with creative use of effects and some per-oscillator modulation, very expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut all of this sonic power in a three-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, add backlit pitch and mod wheels and a location-sensitive touch slider, and you’ve got one of the most inspiring synths ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis used unit is in excellent condition and comes in the original box. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sequential","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56887032184998,"sku":null,"price":2599.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/5778\/1414\/files\/DSC08527_8829a61e-81a9-4ad8-a766-3847bc15d4cd.jpg?v=1785450405","url":"https:\/\/cicadasound.ca\/products\/pro-3-special-edition-used","provider":"Cicada Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
