SEQUENTIAL PRO 3 - Ambient Arpeggiator & Sequencer Soundscapes | Synth Demo
Published on Feb 15, 2020 synth4ever
"Sequential PRO 3 SE synthesizer demo, featuring 4 different ambient arpeggiator & sequencer soundscapes. Filmed at Sequential headquarters, this Sequential PRO 3 demo uses arpeggiator, sequencer and effects such as reverb and delay to demonstrate some ambient-style music and soundscapes while tweaking various PRO 3 parameters.
The Sequential PRO 3 is a hybrid multi-filter mono synthesizer with 60 knobs and 70 buttons, FATAR 37-note semi-weighted keyboard and 3-voice optional paraphony mode (feat. individually gated envelopes per oscillator). The PRO 3 features 3 oscillators (two VCOs + one wavetable), 3 analog filters, 3 LFOs, 4 loopable envelopes, noise, hard sync, glide, tuned feedback, analog distortion, arpeggiator, 16x16x4 sequencer + 16-track sequencer, dual digital effects engines, touch slider and mod wheels, and a staggering 32-slot mod matrix.
The PRO 3's sound can be powerful and aggressive but also airy and atmospheric depending how you program it. The 2 analog VCOs + wavetable oscillator also open up new combinations of sound design that, when combined with the 32-slot mod matrix, provides unparalleled flexibility.
In this ambient-style demo video I tried to convey how easy it is to tweak the PRO 3 in live use to create music on the fly, and use the effects to enhance the sound further. The Sequential PRO 3 is a powerhouse analog synthesizer and the wavetable oscillator, huge modulation matrix and deep sequencer capabilities allow for incredible creative potential. Hope you enjoy the demo."

"Here is a demo video for my available-for-purchase Sequential Prophet Rev 2 Patch Set. You can purchase these patches at my website, www.nicholastsemrad.com/shop
I've specifically made 50 patches (10 basses, 10 leads, 10 pads, and 20 aux key patches) for this set and it includes many patches I've recorded with and played live. Thanks for Emily Hoerdemann for the cover design!"

MACBETH M5 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer

"This is the Original M5 with the black & orange colour scheme, as used for the later version ARP 2600.
Note that whilst it looks like a later model Rev.3 ARP2600, the M5's sound is both Moog and Oberheim inspired.
[Update: note the lawsuit mentioned below never happened. There was contention over the filter but it never got to that. via Wikipedia: "Early versions contained an imitation of Robert Moog's 4-pole 'ladder' VCF, later the subject of a threatened (though ultimately nonexistent) lawsuit"Also the epoxy covered modules were likely more for performance reasons. Not sure if it was to stabilize temperature and to isolate the modules. See the comments at the bottom of this post for more.]
The original ARP 2600 (Blue Meanie model) that many/most claim sounds best of the 2600's, stole the Moog filter design of course, hence epoxy sealed units, lawsuit, 4072 ARP filter redesign, etc... Plus, the M5 actually dwarfs the 2600 in overall height + size. This M5 is one of around 90 (I think) of the original versions that were hand made between 2005/6, so only 14-15 years old compared with over 40 for a 2600.
It has great build quality courtesy of Ken McBeth. No tiny slider tops or mini jack sockets to fiddle with... On a practical note you can get multiple (man sized) finger tips between the slider tops for patching/mixing/modulation purposes. A joy to play with as you can easily see all patch points, sources, destinations, signal flow, etc.
As regards stability & tuning, many older analogue synths had & still do have problems with these factors. This M5 tunes very accurately and holds tune throughout every session, nor is this dependent on whether it's hot or not - inside or out, as was the downside of many old analogue synths, though it's appreciated some do like such instability... I prefer to start off with known stability & increase detuning/instability if/when needed. There is even a stability pot on Osc#3 for dialing in that effect when required, except it's under your control and not at the mercy of other elements...
IMO the M5 is sonically much more powerful and versatile than the 2600, based on the dual filter type design alone.

QUASIMIDI POLYMORPH SN 58081

"The Polymorph is basically four synths loaded with synth and drum sounds, geared towards electronica and other forms of synthesizer music. Individual ADSR's and filters per oscillator make for a totally tweakable and flexible synthesizer.
The sequencer: 16 step, 8 variations, 4 parts or instruments. Parts and even notes can be muted or changed in real time to build and decompose grooves or synth textures. There are also preset phrase patterns to play around with.
The PolyMorph is beefed up by a great set of effects. Add distortion, EQing, reverb, chorus, flange, etc. to each of the four parts independently! The controls, knobs and sequencer can all be controlled via MIDI for in-studio use, however the impressive multi-effects implementation alone is a major hint that the PolyMorph is a machine suited for live, DJ and on the fly music production."
