Essential Information About the Pro 3 SE - Special Edition Synthesizer
- Special edition designed for ergonomics: tiltable control panel for optimal visibility and immediate access to settings both live and in the studio.
- Hybrid analog and digital: 2 VCOs for warmth, plus a wavetable oscillator for modern, biting, and evolving textures.
- Three characterful analog filters inspired by vintage designs (Prophet-6, OB-6, and Ladder style) to sculpt massive basses as well as cutting leads.
- Sequencing and modulation machine: multi-track sequencer, arpeggiator, and modulation matrix for lively and expressive patches.
A tribute edition, crafted for modern performance
The Pro 3 SE - Special Edition embraces the spirit of classic analog synthesizers while adding a decidedly contemporary approach to playing and sound design. Its tiltable control panel enhances programming comfort and reinforces immediacy in performance, where every filter, pitch, or modulation movement must remain clear and accessible.
Who it's for and the styles where the Pro 3 SE excels
This synthesizer is aimed at
advanced to expert musicians who want an expressive machine capable of shifting from a "fat" analog sound to sharper digital textures. Ideal for
techno,
electro,
EBM,
synthwave,
ambient, and
pop, it shines equally in the
studio (fine programming, complex modulations) and
live (direct control, sequences, quick transitions). Its sequencing and modulation-oriented approach also makes it an excellent playground for sonic experimentation.
Features and innovations
The Pro 3 SE combines robust analog synthesis with extended digital flexibility. The
two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) provide a rich and organic foundation, while the
third wavetable oscillator adds grain and evolving timbres thanks to
32 tables of
16 waves each, with
morphing. To shape the spectrum, you have
three analog filters with vintage character, including a variable state filter that can continuously evolve (low-pass, band-reject, high-pass, with band-pass optional) and a Ladder filter with optional resonance compensation. A
Drive control and a
feedback section associated with
grunge and
analog distortion allow everything from subtle saturation to industrial aggression.
The Pro 3 SE's performance core is also its
sequencer:
16 tracks,
16 steps, and
4 phrases, with real-time or step input, ratchet, variable sequence and gate lengths, multiple playback modes, and
paraphonic operation. Tracks are not limited to notes: they can control parameters via a modulation matrix (up to
171 destinations) to create complex and musical movements. Finally, the Pro 3 SE includes a
dual digital effect, comprehensive connectivity (audio, MIDI, USB, CV), and large memory capacity to organize your sounds and performances.
