Vintage Sequential Circuits Pro One Analog Mono Synth
Estimated price for orientation: 610 $

Description Brand: Sequential Circuits
Up for grabs is my unrestored original Sequential Circuits Pro One, serial number 100-3326. It's not working. It's missing it's fuse and fuse cap (available at syntaur.com), so I'm not able to power it up for proper testing. Assume it needs a complete overhaul. Now, here are the identifiable flaws: Missing modulation wheel One key broken in half (A1) Four knobs missing Three shafts broken (will need to be replaced in order to hold a knob). The shafts are still easy to turn. The power cable is old and will need to be replaced From synth explorer: The Sequential Pro One is a wicked little monosynth! It comes from the same period and genre as the Roland SH-101 and Moog Prodigy. The Pro One was basically Sequential's attempt at taking their legendary Prophet 5 poly-synth and packing it into a compact, inexpensive, monophonic analog synth! It has two VCOs, a great 4-pole lowpass filter, two ADSR envelopes (one for filter), and a compact three-octave keyboard. With a Pro-One, you can easily create punchy analog bass-lines and leads or quirky analog synth effects. The Pro One is an extremely flexible synth with lots of modulation possibilities (ie: the filter, VCO B and LFO can modulate VCO A or B frequencies or pulse widths, or the VCF). There's also an onboard sequencer, something common on many Sequential synths but not often found on other monosynths of the time. It is very basic, however, storing only two patterns and up to 40 notes max. Also, only pitch info is recorded (and in step time only); you can not assign a note duration to any notes. So it's basically a short melodic sketch-pad...but useful. Also onboard is an arpeggiator which has UP and UP/DOWN patterns. Only about 10,000 were made
