Sequential Pro 3 (Special Edition)
Sequential Pro 3 Special Edition – Hybrid Mono/Paraphonic Synthesizer with Folding Panel
The Sequential Pro 3 Special Edition is a versatile hybrid synthesizer that combines two analog VCOs, one wavetable oscillator, and three classic analog filters in a flexible mono/paraphonic design. With its folding control panel, advanced modulation, and deep sequencing, it delivers modular-level sound design in a performance-ready format.
Key Features
- Hybrid oscillator engine: 2 analog VCOs + 1 wavetable oscillator (32 wavetables, wave morphing)
- Selectable filters: Prophet-6 low-pass, Moog-style ladder, OB-6 state-variable with LP/HP/BP/Notch
- Mono & paraphonic modes: Switch between powerful monophonic sounds or 3-voice paraphony
- Deep modulation: 3 syncable LFOs, 4 loopable envelopes, 32-slot modulation matrix
- 16-track sequencer: Automates notes and parameters with up to 64 steps
- Dual effects: Reverb, delay (standard & BBD), chorus, phaser, plus analog distortion & feedback
- Special Edition design: Luxury folding control panel for improved ergonomics and playability
Customer Benefits
The Pro 3 Special Edition offers the sonic depth of a modular system without the patch cable complexity. Its three oscillators, multiple filter options, and extensive modulation matrix provide limitless sound design potential, while the step sequencer and folding panel make it a powerful instrument for both live and studio use.
