Pro 3 First Workflow Demo - Dave Smith Sequential

[@pqlr8763]

You know what I love about this demo? The ability to understand that "this is what happens if I turn this dial". With the other thousand Pro 3 demos, it's for the most part dudes playing advanced sounds and showing off their programming skills, instead of taking the viewer by the hand and guiding them through a patch to really get a feel for the behaviour of the synth. Thanks for all the hard work, Cuckoo!

[@Methanol2000]

Yeah nice to hear some more usable sounds instead of those usual noise/industrial/overdrive demos of the Pro 3, nice work Cuckoo =)

[@BurkhardusX]

That’s our Cuckoo…

[@chrisbran6739]

Thansk Cuckoo for the presentation of the PRO 3 ! Especially for the wavetable routing possibilieties!

[@BurkhardusX]

Hi Cuckoo! The PRO-3 is my very first true analogue synthesizer. It sounds very different from my typical Virtual Analogue (VA) like my Access Virus TI. Much more extreme and brute!

[@truecuckoo]

Cool. Yeah it made a lot of people happy when it came out!

[@crappie050764]

Such a very nice synth Cuckoo. So much modulation you can program with it, without menu diving. That synth is on my wish list for sure :)

[@SUBQUiRE]

Fantastic video man. thank you so much for making a bunch of patches from scratch. It always makes for a great demo.

[@fuenstock]

Finally a review that shows more of the analogue side of the pro 3. I like what I heard!

[@ToyKeeper]

Instead of trying to be a universal omnisynth, it seems like the Pro 3 is just trying to be a good instrument. And it succeeds! I wasn't interested in it at first, but after some demos it now seems like one of the best synths of the past few years. I especially like how dirty it can get with the options for overdrive, distortion, and tuned feedback. But then change patches and it can sound really clean and nice.

[@ToyKeeper]

Uh-oh. Someone said something positive about a product I don't like. I'd better set them straight.

[@kabood777]

Thank you Cuckoo great video, what has never been interesting for me in demo videos is just going through the presets, no matter how good they are...man, that shape mod on the osc3 sounds good!

[@KordTaylor]

Thanks so much for for this video. How fast and easy it is to sort out a synth is so important.

[@manny_f]

I would love this with 4-voice polyphony. Great synth.

[@HustonSingletary]

Nice one man. Loving how you went all in on the first preset tuning. Waited for you to call up a few of my presets but yours were awesome..... "sick" Fave part...... "Sick"! Speak soon on the podcast my friend. Safe travel.

[@truecuckoo]

Haha thanks man! I deliberately didn't go through patches, and focused on the workflow/ process in this video. But obviously most of the factory presets sound like they've been created with a great deal of care. They sound great! Yeah, speak soon.

[@vuuvovuuv]

i'm so in love with the lagrange point (nes) sort of melodies at about 15:53 on

[@wanderingjuniper]

Great demo and really appealing instrument. Thanks Cuckoo

[@neofelisherod2947]

very nice synth! good video cuckoo

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Masterful!! Thanks 🙏🏿 this was a excellent demo!

[@MrKKmusic]

Many thanks! It sounded like the mic was positioned a distance from you so there was a delay effect as the sound bounced around the room. Otherwise very good info!

[@EverettDudgeon138]

I love you for doing this.

[@truecuckoo]

🙏🏼

[@donaldpriola1807]

Seeing a bit more hype for the Pro 3 makes me sad the Pro 2 wasn't terribly successful--it remains my favorite synth. Still, it's exciting to see any of Dave Smith's instruments getting positive feedback. This looks like a wonderful monster.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Sounds great, I hope they bring the hinged panel to future Sequential synths.

[@luigi7009]

Hi, nice video. I only have a doubt due to monophony: is it possible to make chords and pads?

[@truecuckoo]

Chords and pads is generally better off with a polyphonic synth. But with the paraphony you can create chords and pads, just not with the same flexibility as with a true polyphonic synthesizer.

[@neilloughran4437]

Great video as usual Cuckoo! I get an ARP Joe Zawinul vibe at times from this! I guess this is DSI's challenger to the Subsequent... I guess it's another level really but both are cool!

[@alexp6556]

SOLD.. it can do the mario underground theme! 🐢🐢☄️☄️

[@DecentralEyes]

2:04 you can hear stepping caused by limited DAC resolution on the control voltage

[@daemonelectricity]

Is that stepping from the DAC or just the filter? I've definitely heard filters in my modular rig that seemed to hit musical intervals harder than the in-between tones, when the resonance is cranked and you don't hear that when he sweeps the filter with the resonance turned down. It sounds a little quarantined, but isn't gritty like stepping artifacts.

[@misssarahrosemarie2356]

Hmmm... I think that only happens while adjusting parameters manually with knobs. On the other hand, programming a filter sweep with an LFO or envelope will sound natural. It is a little annoying if you’re performing live and want to sweep manually, but for me it’s no big deal.

[@thelearningcenter]

Hi, one of the problems I have with the MOOG sub 37 is that when I create a pattern andhit play or try to engage the arpegiator there is this slight delay that is completey unprodictable. We are talking milliseconds but for a non-midi user its imposssible to synch up manually with anything. Does this have that issue? Does it start immediately?

[@NeuroFrquency]

Pro 3 sounds pretty damn good.

[@pholcmann]

Thanks for your effort! Is polymetric sequencing possible? So note sequence is running on 16 Steps but all moduluation seuqences have a different number of steps? Like in modular sequencing. Thx!

[@JoeWisniewski]

It seems like the Mono/Poly that Korg or Behringer should remake. But this has the Sequential filters.

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

A decent synth tour at last , ty man. I’m really into this synth.

[@uhldev]

Great overview thank you

[@ChazSeamus28]

It's like a subsequent 37 on steroids and then some more steroids sprinkled on top.. pretty wild..some nice analog sounds coming out of this beast of a synth

[@BrunoWiebelt]

playing with the big guys ... this synt sounds lovely

[@aslegu]

Hi Cuckoo! How do you compare the sound of the pro 3 with the pro 2, the OB6 and the Prophet 6?

[@truecuckoo]

I don’t know these very well. But I think they all are different enough from one another.

[@sock_park]

Did u play w the Evolver? 😛

[@robertsyrett1992]

Oh wow you were less than an hour away from me when you shot this! Feel free to have a show any time you are in the bay area, I would be happy to attend.

[@truecuckoo]

Would have loved to play in the bay area. I need to see this through at some point. The only thing holding me back is the $2000-$4000 performance visa situation. It's not the most commercially successful music that I'm doing 😅 and just earning back the money for the visa and travel is gonna be kinda hard actually... 😭

[@robertsyrett1992]

@@truecuckoo I remember the manager of Stereolab telling me more or less the same thing. I must say, I am not a fan of such red tape!

[@kabood777]

@@truecuckoo I didn't know anything about that 🤔 ... now that's what I call a stupid law coming from a stupid lawmaker, so I imagine all the sound art people just have to forget ever being able to perform independently in the states

[@timdailey2690]

Would the visa apply to an educational meetup? Where you might demonstrate some of your talents and discuss?

[@remydupon9965]

great video!! thanks

[@MiloSatori]

Would you choose the pro 3 over the Matriarch?

[@jasonmcgary]

Yeah i figured you traveled with that little mirror everywhere.

[@jasonmcgary]

I am thinking ob6 but this has a few tricks up its sleeve that the ob6 doesnt.the downfall for me on this is menu diving.

[@taylorhansen9290]

I haven't seen hardly any menu diving on the demos for the Pro 3.

[@jasonmcgary]

@@taylorhansen9290 are u kidding did u watch this video

[@taylorhansen9290]

@@jasonmcgary There are quick ways to do a lot of things that he doesn't seem to know about. I think he's just not very familiar with the synth yet. Judging from other videos it seems like it doesn't require a lot of menu diving.

[@bisamkiez]

i guess they won't be making desktop version... :(

[@bisamkiez]

​@Divinital yeah, i have nothing against that, but the desktop version would make it more affordabe, and i already have too many keyboards and controllers, as many synth nerds who are their target users have. They tend to make desktop versions of their polysynths, but previous version of their monosynth, Pro-2 was available only with keyboard, so I assume they will continue that tradition...

[@gordonbennett7931]

@@bisamkiez Perhaps it's time to start selling one or another to make room for the Pro 3? We've all been there :)

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Haha....there is absolutely no way it will not come out as a module. Just give it time.

[@gluepet2074]

@Divinital I think he means as a Behringer ;)

[@waltmodul7948]

Dave schould pay you for some presets. So you can dig deeper ! Because these are very complex synthesizer

[@jasonmcgary]

Your surrounded by absolute power.i would get everything rolling in that room for a orchestra of absolute synth noise.my goal would be to try and blow out those windows with bass.it sounded like u might have come close in the beginning there with the pro 3
