The Sequential Pro 3 SE is special Edition of its new flagship 2-VCO plus wavetable mono and paraphonic synth. It features a handsome, multi-angle tilt-up panel and full premium-grade walnut trim. The Pro 3 SE boasts the same powerful sound engine as the standard edition Pro 3: three oscillators, three vintage filters, three LFOs, four loopable envelopes, a massive 32-slot mod matrix, and a 16 x 16 x 4 sequencer.A Next-Generation ClassicThe Pro 3 SE is a hybrid of solid, old-school analog synthesis paired with versatile digital technology. Its two voltage-controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence while its third wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. With 32 tables of 16 waves each and wave morphing, tonal possibilities are immense. Tuned feedback with grunge, and analog distortion deliver industrial-grade nastiness on demand.Custom WavetablesSequential’s web-based utility, Wavetable Generator, allows you to convert up to 16 single-cycle waves into a Pro 3-compatible wavetable and load it into any of the 32 user wavetable slots on the synth. This significantly expands the sound palette of the Pro 3.Three Filters Based on Vintage DesignsAt the heart of the Pro 3 SE’s ballsy sound are its vintage-style filters. Filter 1 is a 4-pole low-pass design based on the Prophet-6 filter. Filter 2 is a classic transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation to preserve its low-end punch. Filter 3 is a classic 2-pole, state-variable design based on the OB-6 filter that can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode. An additional Drive control provides still more punch when you really want to get down and dirty.Expressive SequencingPossibly the Pro 3 SE’s most powerful performance tool is its sequencer. With 16 tracks, 16 steps, and 4 phrases, it features both real-time and step input, ratcheting, variable gate and sequence lengths, multiple playback modes, and paraphonic operation. It also syncs to MIDI clock and external audio input, and inputs and outputs control voltages. In addition to notes, sequence tracks can control any parameter in the 171-destination modulation matrix.Plays Well with ModularsThe Pro 3 SE’s flexible architecture opens the door to not only processing external audio, but also to interfacing with modular synths through its 4 rear-panel control voltage inputs and outputs and a dedicated gate output. Control voltages can be assigned and routed from within the modulation matrix and can run at audio speeds for extreme modulation effects. Some of the many parameters that can be sent to the CV outputs include oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, and sequencer tracks, allowing the Pro 3 to become the central hub of a modular or multi-synth setup.Effects, Envelopes, LFOs, an Arpeggiator, and Extreme ModulationThe Pro 3 SE’s Effects section provides delays, reverbs, time-domain effects such as chorus, phasing, flanging and more. There are four loopable five-stage envelope generators, three syncable LFOs with slew and phase offset, a full-featured arpeggiator, and a 32-slot modulation matrix with dozens of modulation sources and over a hundred destinations.Monophonic and Paraphonic OperationThe Pro 3 SE was designed to be a super-powerful monosynth, but it is also a versatile 3-voice paraphonic synth. This makes playing 3-note chords not only possible, but with creative use of effects and some per-oscillator modulation, very expressive.
