I have considered attaching a bar of some kind under the front lip of the top plate to strengthen it for the future but i don t have a clear idea as of yet on how to make that happen. Sequential Circuits Pro One analog synthesizer with Midi.

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.

Its deliciously cheap as a kit with a full build guide and those nice red knobs. I will complete this project as soon as I have all the parts from Amazon! Behringer reveal first photo of the Pro-One Sequential Circuits clone. 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. PRICE - 49 USD 6.95 SHIPPING in the U.S.A. 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. The UC-1 (Universal Controller One) is available in semi-kit form with templates. its an adapter pcb for sequential pro one synth and newer fatar tp/9s keybed. 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. This is part one of a two part series on the Sequential Circuits Pro One.
