Sequential Pro 3 Synthesizer - SonicLAB Review

The designers at Sequential call this the best analog mono they've ever made. It certainly seems fully featured, and while there's some new stuff in here, it's still got that Sequential familiarity.

We take a look.

Hats off to Yamaha for giving the sequential name back to Dave.

Nick's 1 hour or less jam-packed featurama with no BS! Love you for your time and efforts. Great quality to your videos.

Nick B. The originator of the You Tube Synth Demo Category. Surely the inspiration for many of the Synth Demo channels that came after. None of them have the same experience with synths as had Batt. I still trust his honesty. I have at least 3 synths that I have bought after his reviews. In the age of sponsored content, it’s nice to get an honest impression. Thanks.

Probably one of the best synths I've owned in my career. Well done Dave Smith. Great review Nick!

[AdamTheAd-vancd]

Personally I think this was an honest comprehensive review. No need for you to get hyped (or not), just deliver the facts, which is exactly what you did . I think we can all unbiasedly make up our minds about this one. Personally I'm liking this one alot . It seems to have a little bit of everything pack in thoughtfully. Enjoy what it does have, not what we wish for . Great intresting review Nick.

That is absolutely gorgeous at 10:29! Nick, you've done it again! Sounds beaut.

[KacyDennis]

Another well done, very informative review. Thank you again Nick. I'm glad that you let us hear at least some of the more pleasant, less angry and less distorted sounds that it can make. Most of the videos so far have tended to showcase primarily the brutal and noisy side of the instrument.

Outstanding review as always. What’s really impressive about this synth (and others by Sequential) is that all of the deep modulation and synthesis features are readily accessible, and despite any underlying complexity is easy to navigate and understand without getting hopelessly lost. Sequential’s user interface design is exceptionally good. Well done!

I’ve cycled though some amazing mono/polysynths that I’d have loved to have kept for their individual quirks and character. The Matriarch and the Sub 37 spring to mind. However, the Pro 3 took their place and has been retained. That’s telling. While I don’t pretend it’s a matriarch replacement in character and use, the Pro 3 is perfectly designed. It’s like a Swiss Army knife and is feature rich yet easy to use. More than any other synth. (Including the Prophet 5 (I have the 10 BTW) it’s all of Dave Smith’s knowledge distilled into one synth. It’s fantastic.

My Pro 3 arrived today. It is so such fun to play. Thanks for your great demo's Dave.

Nick I just like to big you up, you do the best synthesizer reviews on YouTube you really put the time in and get to know the synths you review 👌👍

[rocketronica]

I was looking into this synth lately. I watched a lot of videos but this is probably one of the most informative videos around. The reviewer is very knowledgeable.

[VincentPresley]

Damn it. You sold me on the Hydrasynth and now I might be buying this. It's been a pricey year. You and Tim Shoebridge have the best, most classy and informative synth demos / reviews. Even when I HATE a synth I'll sit through the entire videos. UPDATE: yeah, bought the Pro 3 too. Great synth. Definitely has more oomph than the Pro 2 but the Pro 2's additional filter, lfo, osc, and envelope are nice. Right now I think I'm keeping both. Thanks for your great reviews!

[DavidJosephWesley]

Fantastic review, Nick! I’ve had this amazing synth for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. It’s an incredibly versatile, beautiful and powerful instrument. I have the SE and really dig the adjustable angle on the control panel. i’m having a blast using it on all of my current projects.

[McNstyFilth]

I've been in love with this DAMNED instrument ever since I first heard it.

[RundFyrkant]

I did not think I'd get another monosynth again but this one makes me think. It's sounds, looks, and operates amazing. What an awesome piece of machinery! 🎵🎶

[RayR]

Sounds fantastic. Deep and raw. We live in such great synth times with so many great gear options.

fave synth of the year. bass that sits in a mix. bite when needed. atmospheric paraphonics. steppable wave table inspired with arp and sequencer. killer footprint.

[wingoshack]

He just made all of modern ambient music at the end there like no problem

[samwhich]

Wonderful sounding synth and well presented as usual. Thanks Nick! A feature i'd love to see in these digitally controlled mono synths sequencer/arp section is the ability to randomize full patterns, note lengths and/or note velocity as well as unusual pattern legnths to create constantly evolving patterns. But then be able to use these patterns as a modulation source via the matrix. Like the Virus TI2 arp section. The happy accidents that come out of that are unreal and much better than manually programming each step.
