Pro 3 Top Features // A Super Fun Synthesizer

Never bought a synthesizer so fast. What really sold me was seeing and hearing the dedication and true love the Sequential team has for creating instruments.
On top of that, this synth sounds crazy fat, punchy, dreamy, lofi, everything! It's such a fun way to learn synthesis and its Mod matrix is easy to use.

I dont need it. I dont have room for it. So I’m getting it.

[@keithbarnhart6952]

That may be the best reason I have ever for buying something.

[@patricklaureys1249]

Makes perfect sense to me!

[@smartwerker]

same!

[@magaschicago]

Dying 😂😂

[@Xanadu1115]

Press Transpose Down + Latch to quickly initialize a patch.

[@DELO480]

That last bit you talked about to the cam was exactly what I felt when I was watching some NAMM vids. I'm also a guy who LOVES to talk about synthesis in any shape. The love and thought that goes into these devices is just a joy to see. I love all these vids dude.

[@sauce_aux]

I would say it’s a contender for one of the best synths, if not the best mono synth ever made. It’s amazingly deep for how straight forward it is. It really tells you something when a company gives you features you are familiar with but you end making sounds you have never made before, with the same tools. DSI/Sequential nailed it with the “push & turn” mod routing. The Rev2 has that function, and seeing that transferred to the Pro 3 was great. Makes a world of difference when noodling.

[@dalelaushman8749]

Ricky, I just learned this from a post on Bentley Dean's cover of the Pro 3; to quickly get a Basic Patch on the Pro 3 you can hold the Octave Down button + Slide Latch button. I just tested and it does indeed work! Cheers,

[@lionelgarcia7227]

Solid info, thank you 🙏🏼.

[@quitthecircuit]

Feels like we are starting to approach the next wave. The UI and feature sets being released this year are inspiring. A natural progression back to hands on.

[@HotStrange]

Amazing demo as always! So true what you said about the guys at Sequential, Dave included. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do and I believe it truly shows through their gear, their demos, and their amazing customer service. I knew I had to have the Pro3 as soon as it was announced. I’ve preordered one now, and it will be my first Sequential synth. I can’t wait.

[@lehviminder2120]

Thank you for the videos, they're helping me so much in my synth journey, from your pocket operator videos to your live jam set-ups, thank you so much!

[@bobtronic73]

Wow, this is one of the best designed synths I've ever seen (and heard). The usability and its depth is impressive. Thanks for the video.

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

Your genuine enthusiasm for its sound and the impressive array of capabilities convinced me! I’ve been eyeing it for months but I just placed an order and can’t wait to try it for myself

[@andyhsong]

rip dave! this synth is a beast

[@MSPatterson]

That note-rotating paraphonic thing is sick, so much variety out of a single chord input. Be a bit tricky to reproduce in a modular, have to do a bunch of envelope retriggering and switched sequence/arp routing or something like that.

[@MythMakerMusik]

I've watched this video like five times just to listen to you noodlin' around on this synth. It sounds sooo good. Great demonstration! I'd love a video where you're just jammin' and dronin' on this thing for like 45 minutes. Mesmerizing.

[@lifesynthtance]

So enjoyable to watch and listen, great stuff. My desire to own one of these beauties has increased dramatically since checking out your great intro to the Pro 3. Awesome job Ricky !

[@damondarkwalker]

I love that Dave has done such a great job and now the synths even look better. I have a MoPhoK and a Prophet'08 and they are fantastic machines.

[@ToyKeeper]

This is the synth which finally got me interested in Sequential's products. It's not the most powerful synth ever, but its design is incredible and it really invites the user to explore and get messy. The human element is amazingly well done.

[@vasil3089]

I absolutely love synths and electronic music but sometimes let the laziness get to me. People like you always inspire me to work harder. Thank you!

[@embazle]

Love your channel, congrats on the Pro 3!!!

[@robappleby583]

To me the Pro 3 is really a powerful modular with a feature rich sequencer/arpeggiator and a keyboard on-board. It's so easy to set up complex modulations, I really love that in just a few steps you can get places you probably wouldn't have imagined ahead of time, and it nearly always sounds good (a matter of taste of after all). Every time I play it - which is every day - I discover new directions. Even things that I don't really find useful (like the tuned feedback and grunge settings) I'm sure sooner or later I'll have a eureka moment with. Just a fantastic machine and incredible value for money if you consider how much all this would cost in modular terms.

[@TROGULAR10000]

Full manual is definitely cool. This synth is cool, love the layout, everything is right where you need it and the touch strip in addition to the wheels is really cool. Price is pretty reasonable too

[@420gravy4]

Finally got to jam on one at Perfect Circuit. I could go on for hours about all the things I love about the Pro 3, but I will sum it up with this- I'm definitely getting this synth next. I can't wait to hear what you cook up with yours! Thanx 4 posting 😎

[@vaspers]

16:40 begins the "is whacked out" phase. Now I want this Pro 3. Thanks for all your fascinating, smart videos! You rock!

[@Relaxanddo]

Thanks for making this video. There's so little content about this synth for how incredible it is!

[@jf542]

the whole part where you are playing with the paraphonic arp is one of the best synth sounds ive ever heard

[@bis5260]

Great Demo!! I LOve this Synth!! 😍

[@nicebigjuicycock431]

Love seeing you break it down and share your first impressions. Peace

[@TrenetiMusic]

So stoked watching this mine is already on the way in the mail. Can’t wait!

[@buildingblocks8287]

Agree! Happy to own the pro2... most underrated synth ever... the 3 seems to have a few new tweaks, especially in the sequencer. great one from dave as always. Using it with modular gear is absolutely amazing

[@lexi0006]

So true. I wish I could upvote your comment a couple or times! I love my Pro-2 and the incredible modular system I’ve built over the years. Add Arturia’s Keystep Pro and/or Beatstep Pro and you have amazing flexibility and power.

[@havokcc]

I recently got the medusa and a lot of the things you showed from the pro 3 applies. The paraphonic examples you used were very cler thanks!

[@davidbenasulin]

Nice video!! You talked from the heart and full of passion about that amazing machine!!! Made me want to buy one!

[@jeanbenoit6610]

the versatility of this synth is awesome, from warm to lo-fi to harsh - everythings there. and you didn't even bother about adding effects. have to say i really enjoyed the sound of that reverb from some of the demos though. bout to take a dump on my savings.

[@enigmasounds]

Thanks for the video and the shortcut for INIT/reset patch is - DOWN AND LATCH together.

[@donartyone3258]

Great video! Lots of inspiring ideas and dope sounds. This synth is so great! I appreciate you sharing your experience and passion. I would have one in my place right now if I didn’t already own the Pro2 and the Prophet 6.

[@qdmfrance]

100% agree with what is said in this presentation. I just received my Special Edition one and it is awesome.

[@m.g.kroger]

Thank you! That's a Pro 3 video that brings me where I need to go, sound design, not simply features.

[@0e0]

it was one of the most exciting things at namm this year for me

[@JustinUrban1]

Ricky, love your videos! And now I cannot wait to get me one of these! I’ve always wanted a Dave Smith synth and didn’t know what one to put that hard earned $ towards, and this one seems like the most unique synth he has put out!!

[@marcthomas8192]

Awesome video!! There is definitely an emotional component about musical instruments which has a huge influence on the decision to buy one. There is no shame in showing that. And Dave Smith's gear is always great.

[@oneeyewanders]

Oi! This got a shout out from Sequential!!! Was in my facebook feed. Congrats!

[@cold_fashioned]

Yes dude! Such an interesting synth, I'd love to get my hands on one someday.

[@charliechoiniere8755]

This thing sounds sooooo good. Nice work!

[@nextel94]

10:50 :O! Beautiful rich thick arp sound

[@DJDigitalJosh]

3:30 I love that feeling when I figure a device function out! Great Video & Sounds as Usual! Wish my Novation BS2 had 3 oscillators, but I still love her.

[@AkaTengu]

Update 4.14 adds fine and coarse tuning to the sub oscillator on the Bass Station II. Along with AFX mode, separate glide rate for each oscillator, Fixed duration And retrigger count envelopes. The previous update also added paraphonic mode and some other great stuff. It honestly went from listed for sale to one of my favorite synths in my studio with those updates ✊

[@Novaheart1998]

I agree this is one of the best mono/para synths ever.

[@scottm8685]

So a while back you sold me on the Zen Delay, now you've sold me on the Pro 3. I have a couple of things lined up ahead of it, but it'll be next up on my list. Great video.

[@Ark-yq9em]

Same as me, I heard it and I knew had to have it, I bought it immidiately. And you're right, the best synth ever!

[@RundFyrkant]

Woah it sounds so good! Thanks for sharing

[@chriswickham4461]

Yes, this synth is so amazing !! I have the Prophet rev 2 also and love the things I can do with it too!! Sequential is one of the great synth makers !!

[@Horndogthehorneddog]

Man this thing is awesome. This channel always inspiring me to pick up synths. Definitely gonna have a collection some day

[@LukezyM]

But, do we make music or just collect synths, that’s the real question..

[@Robguitarjarvis]

I wasn’t going to get another synth but the pro 3 really grabs my ear and I’ll have to have it when they’re here in the uk. Soon.😎

[@annedroid2297]

Awesome video, with great sound. Thnx!

[@stip9170]

Kinda felt like i was watching Bobb Ross - Synth edition. Great content

[@billybartcody3591]

Please share more Pro 3 content, this thing is a modern classic.

[@johanvancauteren6203]

Wow..gr8 review Ricky..thanx explaining paraphony..always wondered ☺️

[@frankjuno8808]

have to say.. after one year, still this is the best video demonstrating the PRO3.

[@Bladi4n]

Your explanation of why you love paraphonic synths was so clear! I love it too now

[@Lagspike99]

what timestamp is this? cant find it

[@pheotus]

Thanks dude I definitely gotta get this. Once all the crazy passes. 💕

[@WayneLansdowne]

Please gets some more content out about the Pro 3. This has been the best YT video on one so far!

[@MikeGomeztheDMG]

I’m seriously considering this for my first hardware synth. Thx for the great vid RT 🙌

[@carsonday8190]

Great video Ricky! Quick tip, you can set the basic patch by holding the transpose down button and pressing the slider latch button. Hope this helps!

[@yongamusic]

Chipmunk Jones Dude, stop it.

[@gordonbennett7931]

@Chipmunk Jones Have you ordered your Pro 3 yet Mr Jones? You clearly can't keep away from demos of this beast. Just accept defeat and give in to those urges. By the way, I used to own the DSI Mono evolver (keyboard version). Loved the sounds but hated the user interface so ended up selling (somewhat reluctantly). Now with the release of the Pro 3 it will get me in a similar ball park of industrial nastiness but the UI and sequencer takes it to another level in my opinion.

[@jusejuse11]

I love this video! It‘s one of my favorite videos on the whole youtube planet!

[@SquarepulseMusic]

Wow you truly made this baby sing. The paraphonic arpeggio was such a delight!!!!

[@XOEYZIIE]

This synth is so great! I appreciate you sharing your experience and passion. I would have one in my place right now if I didn’t already own the Pro2 and the Prophet 6.

[@nelio123]

Thank you, your video sound me on the Pro 3. Got a used one and loved it immediately!

[@daniellafreniere15]

Great video that convinced me to buy this synth. Just pure joy 😊

[@RoryRonde]

man....pfffff...... this synth sounds so extremely dope.....what a masterpiece!!..really in love with it...it's like it has everything, that full creaminess but also that immediate-in your face- punchy sound......the filter is vibe AF ...really love the way you demonstrate this bro! keep up the good work

[@HugoParisMusic]

Woah you made a very cool video, and it's very impressive indeed. Makes me want to buy it now!

[@dalelaushman8749]

Thanks Ricky! Like you, the Pro 3 was my fastest synth purchase ever.

[@MrTravisDCook]

Gem Stones everywhere brother. your random flow just isnt random it lives on Love this video and im sold cya at the next vector~ wow

[@overload8741]

Definitively need this synth!!! Look awesome to i love the modern style

[@allkeyspro6606]

Love this man!

[@electroteque]

One of the best demos. So passionate. Like Dave Smith.

[@brianreilly6545]

Nice, thx for this, patiently awaiting stock

[@neilloughran4437]

Fantastic demo as usual.. I just bought one on the strength of your videos. Gives me the vibes of old C64 games like Forbidden Forest at times esp with those oscillator drones and tweaking...

[@drill2.087]

This thing is going to go great right next to my Korg Wavestate

[@timewalker5498]

Great Video, thanks! It sounds really nice 😊

[@GFonk16BIT]

I really like your approach. Subscribed

[@itsmejoewbrown]

That pro 3 would be great with my pro2! Definitely a purchase I'll be making.

[@crazyFrankyy]

Very funny synth! Thanks Ricky !

[@Red-gl2cb]

probably the coolest arpeggiator i have ever seen. and heard.

[@ShaighJosephson]

Gotta say that this has some excellent sound design features... ☺️

[@HomeCinemaJunkie]

I have the pro 2 and as you say it's so fun to use and it is just as important as how it sounds, if not more. OMG @8:15 ❤

[@nubeatproductionsllc]

Great job. Thank you. Waiting on mine ..... I got the SE!

[@Quodge]

Glad your channel blew up man.

[@5dgisd528]

22:30 Wave Reset is indeed a great feature, especially for really tight basses, like used in Psytrance

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

I totally get what you mean at around 11:00 with the paraphony creating a randomish delay effect. Too cool. Holy crap I need one of these.

[@Neurotypique]

A lot of cool things there are the same on the medusa by the paraphonic nature of it. It's 6 oscillators and one filter, though each oscillator has its own dedicated VCA. I wish medusa had per osc glide/slew! Thank you for this video and showing why paraphonic synths are great and not just half-assed polys

[@davidsteffens3952]

Ordered one this week!

[@frasersimpson3914]

that arpeggiator with the overlapping osc values: instant caterina barbieri

[@catharock14]

You are killing meeeee..! Such passion man. I was sold for the novation peak as my first synth after watching your vid.. not so sure now..

[@sounddoctorin]

Sounds great. Some similar stuff from my mono/poly feeding through arp omni mod in my setup

[@rxfromparis6633]

my Pro 3 is shipped next week, happy

[@Naturallproductions1]

I bought it 10 minutes in your video :D great stuff! Subscribed !!

[@MothershipOracle]

super dope man!! LOL! love it. your voice reminds me of frank zappa......cheers for this.

[@jfphotoandlife8287]

The PRO 3 can become the heart of our system with its sequencer.

[@zachstarr2543]

Haha “instability” love it. Great videos. Keep it up.

[@zakbrown6762]

This synth is on the way to my house because of you. Thank you.

[@rgcmusic]

I'm excited to get mine delivered. I sold a Grandmother, A Nord Rack 2, a Minilogue, some old samplers, and a few pedals so I can get this beast. (I also got an Minilogue XD Module). I think I made the right choice.

[@johnpaton9587]

sold your Grandmother, really, i love that synth!

[@rgcmusic]

@@johnpaton9587 The Pro 3 does so much more. I miss the reverb only, but I also have a intellijel spring reverb. Get a Pro 3.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

It sure does look fun, sounds great too.

[@benvers9355]

😻 i love it ! Thanks men
