A Few Tutorials
The Pro 2 is a very deep instrument with virtually endless sonic possibilities .
Though step-by-step tutorials for all of its capabilities are outside the
scope of this manual, this chapter provides a few short tutorials to help
you explore some key features.
Processing External Audio
The Pro 2 makes a great effects processor. The example below shows
you how connect external audio to the Pro 2 and process it in real time by
tweaking knobs and controls.
To hear an external audio signal, you need to gate the VCA and lter open.
When you do this, you will also hear the Pro 2’s oscillators droning since they are
continuously producing sound. To avoid continuous oscillator drone, set the output
level of all oscillators to zero. Alternatively, set the waveshapes of each oscillator to
osc oFF.
To process external audio:
1. Connect an instrument or audio signal to the audio in jack on the rear of
the Pro 2 and turn up the instrument to a suitable level.
2. Adjust the ext. input level knob in the oscillator section of the Pro 2.
(If you need to further boost the signal, adjust ext. in gain (soft knob 2
in the display).
3. Press the hold button then play a key on the keyboard. This holds the
VCA open.
4. Turn the SuStain knob on the amplier envelope to 127.
5. Turn the SuStain knob on the lter envelope to 127.
6. Play the external audio source.
7. Tweak parameters such as lter cutoff, distortion, drive, hack, feed-
back, delay (particularly the time parameter of delay 4!), and so on to
process the sound.
Connect an expression pedal to the Pro 2 and route it to a parameter such as lter
cutoff in the mod matrix for more real-time processing control over the audio input.
