![]() I think that the faceplate is a cool design, but it is plastic and tends to flex more than it should considering it is the support for the board that is underneath it. Especially because they are not secured to the faceplate. I think it could be better as well, but i have seen worse too! The pots are all plastic shaft and are prone to breaking off if you abuse the instrument. Many people lament the construction of the Pro One and accuse it of being flimsy and shoddily made. In early versions the board mounted transformer tended to snap off and destroy the inside of the synth! I used epoxy this time so it will last longer! I also noted that this unit has the power transformer mounted to the chassis and not the board. It looked like someone had used superglue the first time. I re-repaired the shaft of this pot and cleaned the others to help improve the function and performance of the face plate controls. While i had the machine apart i found that there was a broken pot that had been carefully repaired. I will complete this project as soon as I have all the parts from Amazon! ![]() I decided to get some RC servo extensions as they are 12" long and have 3 conductors in a nice small package with male and female receptacles. I felt that i wanted to have connectors to and from the jacks and MIDI board so that the Pro One would remain easy to service and modular in layout. The MTG kit includes the CPU, MIDI in out jacks, a MIDI daughter board, and some connecting wires. I plan to complete the MIDI in outs and other CPU routings later but i found that i wanted to get some extra parts first. I happened upon a site for MTG, Music Technologies Group, that offered a replacement CPU that adds MIDI note in out plus other controller input to this classic synth. There's a limited CPU on board that can record basic, i mean BASIC, sequences and a decent Up/Up Down arpeggiator that is fun to use. Its sound is versatile and can cover any ground between Lead and Bass and all the way to great drums and percussion. It was released during the era of Big Expensive poly synths and their more compact Mono brethren of the late 70's and early 80's. The Pro One is a classy sounding and nicely laid out mono synth from the same lineage as the SCI Prophet 5. All used items are 100% functional and warrantied against electronic failure up to 30 days after delivery unless otherwise noted.This is part one of a two part series on the Sequential Circuits Pro One. Allow up to 3 business days for packing and handling. Switched On has acquired a sterling reputation for its careful and professional. CV+Gate Control for the Oscillators/Audio In/CV Filter Control.The oscillator hard-sync sounds are especially exciting. It is comparable with the Roland SH-101 or the Moog Source, feature-wise, but sounds very different from either. One of the more beastly of mono synths ever created, the Sequential Circuits Pro-One is a powerhouse of punchy bass and singing leads. MIDI In, MIDI Out and optional MIDI Thru.Arpeggiator and sequencer sync-able to MIDI Sync In (settable clock rate).Polyphonic MIDI output of keyboard data.Monophonic MIDI output of arpeggiator and sequencer data.Firmware update (“re-flashing”) over MIDI (using MIDIOX or similar).The above plus a MIDI In/Out interface board that adds the following features: Sequence End mode lets you chain the two sequences.Sequence Tie mode allows for a variety of note lengths. ![]()
