Sequential Circuits Pro One

[demyxiv]

What a good synthethizer. Emily Haines has one ♥

[rogerisold]

I had one in 82 or so. It was alot of fun.

[codyksemsbusch]

Can someone tell me an inexpensive alternative similar to this kind of synth?

Because, i've been playing bass, guitar and drums for years and now want to try some electrical-oldschool-thing, and this sounds perfect (in my ears)

[MrDjzaga1]

the tune nob is to tune the synth ,so the key you are presing istrigers that note.so thats the firts thing you have to do tune the synth and leave it like that.

obiously do not know much about it.

[Alin82]

Pro One is an excellent synth! By the way, this is the main synth of Emily Haines (Metric vocalist).

[Saibot216]

This actually made me want a Pro One. Good stuff.

[freezazoid]

whoa... you got rid of the "wood" sides! So it's plastic under the wood? Maybe I'll take my sides off too! Let me know if you have any advice... thanks!

[plastikman2]

Thanks for the excellent examples! I hope to get one soon!

[009relic]

very cool..hey...i saw a pic of the new dave smith MoPho. On the circuit board it says PRO 1 II. guess the MoPho is the new PRO 1 ?

[kaine180]

Great synth, just sold mine and want another already ... Clicky sounds from hitting the keys are the knackered rubber bushings. Easy to fix and well werth doing at about £30

[loafdapesholmes]

nothing like a bit of keyboard wankery or even better a 10 minute drum solo where the drummer really bashes one out and i mean bashes out a wank with his drums.

[Djrenok]

whats the point of this synth! unless ur trying to make porno music......I dont get it

[namdoogpdx]

You are stupid. Does anybody love you?

[sinclairnewport]

pro 1 porn music?

maybee but listen to the english band yazzoo on songs like dont go

[STRUCK37]

have you listened to Metric!! Its a fairly modern band 1998 they are good and they feature a pro one, dave smith evolver and mirco korg(shit) but they are really good give them a listen

[discothief]

Even the bigger brother of this (Pro 5) can't match the bass on this machine.

[joshingledew]

can i just ask what you mean by wankery? you written the same on your roland sh-101 demo (which was really good by the way) :)

[alanjayee]

to everyone.. lol the dude is just using a webcam with a mic built in and the pro one plugged into an external speaker so ur hearing the "room" not it directly plugged into an audio in.. so the click is the actual keys being pressed!

[VincentsVideoVisions]

I dont think he meant that click... I think he meant the actual attack time because I was thinking that too during the first few seconds of the video.

[Vocod3r]

you got to put some attack on it the clicking noise is annoying!

[alanjayee]

thats the keys dude...

[grahmik]

You wouldn't hear that on a recording, or in concert... that is the keys making the clicking noise. I do wish the touch was softer on the keys, but alas, nothing is perfect... not even the pro-one

[tbcass]

I owned one of these back when they were new. There's something wrong with your keyboard as mine didn't make that clicking noise. To all, the synth is capable of much better and fatter sounds than this. Also the OP should back off on the attack a little to eliminate the "popping" sound. You apparently haven't mastered programming the instrument at all. It takes some practice.

[roberteniro]

haha you must be fucking stupid.

[tbcass]

Actually I'm a Genius who knows far more than You :-) Have you ever owned a Pro One?

[remixerone]

Make some like Vince Clarke, this synth is more powerful than you show,... is jazz? rock? with a PRO ONE? what madness! o plis.

[mpresev]

@remixerone and stick to 4 notes l.o.l. 

[champswa]

how come the pitch is a fourth up?

[jjuup]

Because it is tuned a fourth up?

[ColdBloodedCarl]

Hey!! Put back those wooden side panels at once!!! ;-)

[castlemedic]

How much do these run for? Can't find any on ebay or gear trader.

[don6631]

Yes you can find these on e-bay, $600 - $1000+ depending on serial# and condition. Don't get a membrane keyboard above #8500 unless you can run it from remote keyboard with extra CV hardware. Probably not more than $600 for this series considering the extra cost.

[castlemedic]

Thanks, mate :)

[jennybell420]

Listen to thoses Fu@kERS cLACK!:> HA! miss minez...

[thevco]

hers some good advise ive had a pro 1 apart

the key contacts are made of shit rubber that goes hard

and wear out and the best boards have a mushroom on them so...get a midi kenton midi cv converter

good luck

[stretta]

there are two types of Pro-1 keyboard - j-wire and membrane

[123synthland]

or replace the rubber bushings...

[don6631]

oh no! you have a membrane keyboard

[gordongate]

@thevco theres more strange images on the pro1 PCB than just the mushroom picture.

[godadameve]

EXCELLENT! BRAVO! By far the most comprehensive demo of this MAGNIFICENT synth yet! Stretta...thank you! Now, try to give us the settings for some of the 'Upstairs at Eric's' songs! So I can program MY pro one accordingly.

THANKS AGAIN. Keep em' coming!
