A Few Words of Thanks
Thank you for purchasing the Pro 3, our latest effort to make the world’s greatest
monosynth. That’s a bold statement, but it’s true. Our biggest pleasure here at
Sequential is trying to outdo ourselves with each new instrument.
In many ways the Pro 3 is the evolution of a concept that started with the classic
Sequential Circuits Pro-One — pack as much power as possible into a compact
footprint and make it sound awesome. In this case, that power comes in threes:
three oscillators, three lters, three LFOs, plus our most powerful sequencer yet.
And there’s plenty of modulation; over thirty-two slots worth, in fact.
Our formula seems to have worked. The Pro 3 doesn’t just sound good, it sounds
amazing. We love this synth and hope you will, too.
So stop reading and starting playing!
Cheers,
