Dave Smith Instruments has announced a new mono synth, the Pro 2. The Pro 2 is said to be the “ultimate mono synth,” with
- four digital oscillators plus a sub-oscillator
- newly designed dual analog filters
- flexible series/parallel routing through the filters
- a full-featured multitrack step sequencer with MIDI clock sync and modulation parameter control capability
- four control voltage inputs and outputs
- 4-voice paraphonic operation
- multimode arpeggiator
- four stereo multitap delays
- four LFOs
- tuned feedback
- analog distortion
- Character controls for sound sculpting
- two programmable position- and pressure-sensitive touch sliders
- and much more!
According to Dave Smith, “…as a synth designer, I’m happiest creating new instruments—synths that with every iteration put more power and better sounds into the hands of musicians. The Pro 2 is light years beyond the Pro-One in every way. It’s the most powerful mono synth I’ve ever made.”
The Pro 2 is expected to begin shipping in late July, 2014.
