Setting Up the Pro 3
Setting Up the Pro 3
Here’s how to get your Pro 3 up and running:
Getting Started:
1. Plug the power cable into the AC power connector on the back panel of
the Pro 3.
2. If you have an expression pedal, connect it to the pedal jack on the
back of the Pro 3. If you have a sustain pedal, connect it to the foot-
switch jack.
3. Turn on the Pro 3.
4. Connect the left and right audio outputs on the back of the Pro 3 to
your amp/mixer/powered speakers using unbalanced, ¼ inch audio
cables. These are the main stereo outputs for the synth.
5. Turn up the volume on your amp/mixer/powered speakers.
6. Turn up the volume on the Pro 3.
7. Use the bank and program knobs to scroll through the factory sounds.
You can also use Soft Knob 1 and Soft Knob 2 as well as inc and dec
buttons to scroll through the sounds in the currently selected bank.

Each of the factory presets has interesting and useful modulation functions
programmed into the touch slider and the mod wheel. While you’re trying out the
factory sounds, play with these performance controls and listen how the sound
changes. Each preset also has a pre-programmed sequence. To hear it, press the
play button in the seq section.
