Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I program the unique voice architecture of the Pro 3 Mono/Paraphonic Synthesizer to achieve rich, complex sounds?

To program the unique voice architecture of the Pro 3 Mono/Paraphonic Synthesizer and achieve rich, complex sounds, follow these steps:
1. Start by selecting either mono or paraphonic mode using the Mode switch. In mono mode, only one note can be played at a time, while in paraphonic mode, multiple notes can be played simultaneously. Choose a sound source for each oscillator by selecting one of the available waveforms from the Oscillator 1, Oscillator 2, and/or Oscillator 3 sections. You can also use the Ring Modulator to combine two sources or the Noise generator for white or pink noise. Use the various modulation options to shape your sound. The Envelope Generators (ADSR) allow you to control aspects such as filter cutoff, resonance, and amplitude over time. You can also use the LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) to add movement and rhythmic patterns to your sounds. The Pro 3 features a unique dual-filter design that allows you to manipulate your sound in unexpected ways. Try using both filters simultaneously, or experiment with different filter types like lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, and peak. Use the Effects section to add reverb, delay, distortion, chorus, phaser, flanger, and other processing effects to your sound. These can be used in parallel, series, or mid/side configurations. Save your patches using the Pro 3's built-in patch storage system. This allows you to easily recall your favorite sounds and settings for future use. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different settings and parameters! The Pro 3 offers a wide range of options and possibilities, so have fun exploring and discovering new sounds.

How does the Pro 3's mono/paraphonic architecture contribute to its unique sound compared to traditional polyphonic synthesisers?

The Pro 3's mono/paraphonic architecture sets it apart from traditional polyphonic synthesizers in terms of its unique sound. In a polyphonic synthesizer, multiple notes can be played simultaneously, while a monophonic synth can only produce one note at a time. However, the Pro 3's paraphonic design allows each voice to have its own envelope generator and filter cutoff, allowing for more complex and varied sounds than a traditional mono synth. This also makes it easier to create rich, complex textures that would be difficult to achieve with a standard polyphonic setup. The Pro 3's architecture contributes to its versatility and expressiveness, making it a powerful tool for both classic analog and modern digital sounds.
