Pro 3 User’s Guide
Exploring the Pro 3 in Greater Depth
To enable paraphonic playback:
1. Press the paraphonic button.
2. Turn up the levels of all three oscillators in the mixer.
3. Play some chords.
4. Adjust the Octave and oscillator waveshapes as necessary.
With clever programming you can create complex sounds that work well in
paraphonic mode. Add a bit of pulse width modulation or chorused delay to create
interesting string and pad sounds.
Exploring the Pro 3 in Greater
Depth
Before you explore the sound creation possibilities of the Pro 3, we’d
like to point you toward a few things that will help you tailor it to your
needs. The better you know it, the more you’ll get out of it.
First, read “Global Settings” on page 96. There are many useful
settings and functions found in the Global menu that will affect the
overall behavior of your Pro 3, including tuning, MIDI connections,
calibration, and more. In particular, read about Pot Modes and determine
which works best for you when you’re editing sounds.
Also, in “Rear Panel Connections” on page 2 read about the various
connectors on the back of your Pro 3 and how you can use its various
pedal, audio, MIDI, and USB inputs and outputs.
Finally, be on the lookout for tips and notes scattered throughout this
manual to gain a better working knowledge of the Pro 3. We wish you
many hours of musical exploration!
