Sequential Pro 3 Multi-Filter Synthesizer Overview
The Sequential Pro 3 is the evolution of the legendary Pro 1 and the acclaimed Pro 2, imbuing the most desirable of those elements of those classic synths with fresh features. The result is arguably Dave Smith and Sequential’s greatest monosynth so far - once you’ve played one, you’ll know why.
Primed For Performance
Boasting a smooth & compact 3-octave Fatar keyboard, a lightweight, a robust road-ready chassis and a wealth of tactile controls - there’s no doubting that the Sequential Pro 3 is a high-performance instrument. From the stage to the studio, the Pro 3 is ready to deliver juicy analogue basses & leads, evolving & dynamic sequences, otherworldly effects… the possibilities with this synth are immense!
Check out the Pro 3 SE (Special Edition) if you want luxurious Walnut sides and the flexibility of a Minimoog-style tiltable panel.
Brand New Wavetables
As part of their quest to make the Pro 3 the most creative and inspiring mono synth in your arsenal, Sequential have released a new enhancement for it - completely free. Click here and you can download a new set of 32 high-quality wavetables for your Pro 3 as well as a fresh bank of 128 patches that use them. Each new patch features a unique sequence to give the sound context.
These wavetables are a major expansion to the Pro 3’s sound palette and are derived from a wide range of sources, including a boutique Frequency Shifter, the legendary Fairlight IIx, Sequential’s own TOM drum machine, the human voice and more. The new wavetables load into the user wavetable slots, so you don’t have to worry about messing up your patches that use ones from the factory.
We believe that Sequential have created a modern classic with the Pro 3, encapsulating the best elements of analogue & digital into a high-performance instrument that’s a tonne of fun to use. The sheer amount of inspiration and ideas that come from playing with the Pro 3 make it easily one of the best monosynths available at the moment.

- Two analog, voltage-controlled oscillators
- One DSP-based digital oscillator
- Analog oscillators produce three classic wave shapes: (triangle, saw, pulse) with variable shape modulation/pulse width on each
- Digital oscillator produce 32 digital wavetables of 16 waves each with wave morphing, plus classic wave shapes (sine, triangle, saw, variable-width pulse) and super saw
- Digital oscillator 3 can function as an LFO for complex wavetable-based modulation
- White noise generator
- Hard sync, per-oscillator Glide, Oscillator Slop
- 3-voice paraphonic mode with individually-gated envelopes per oscillator
- Three classic filter types
- Filter 1 is a 4-pole, 24 dB per-octave, Prophet-6™ low-pass filter
- Filter 2 is a classic, 4-pole, 24 dB per-octave, transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation
- Filter 3 is a 2-pole, 12 db per-octave, OB-6™ state-variable filter. It can be continuously varied between low-pass, notch, and high-pass operation, with an optional band-pass mode.
- Three syncable LFOs with phase offset and slew per LFO
- Five waveshapes: triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, and S&H
- Four ADSR envelopes with delay (Filter, VCA, and two Auxiliary envelopes)
