Chapter 1: Getting Started
The Pro 3 is a hybrid synthesizer in the best sense of the word. It
combines the warmth and punch of two analog, voltage-controlled oscil-
lators and three types of classic analog filters with the versatility of a
third, digital wavetable oscillator and an array of digital effects.
This blend of technologies gives you an instrument that’s sonically satis-
fying to play, but also has power and flexibility rivaling modular systems
through its extensive modulation capabilities and four control voltage ins
and outs.
This chapter of your user’s guide provides an overview of essential
tasks such as how to make basic audio connections and how to edit and
save sounds. Later chapters explain each of the parameters of the Pro 3,
as well as how to program sounds and how to use the
global
menu to
manage its overall behavior.
We’ve designed the Pro 3 to be as easy to use as possible. Its essential
controls are within easy reach on its front panel, so don’t hesitate to dive
in and start turning knobs and pressing buttons. Then, when you’re ready,
dig into this user’s guide to explore the deeper parts of the synth.
