Pro 3 Factory Program Banks

 

Below you’ll find all of the factory program banks for the Pro 3. This downloadable file also includes installation instructions.

The program data is in a MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) file. You will need a DAW, MIDI utility, or other application capable of opening and sending MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. MIDI-OX (Windows) and SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) are shareware MIDI utilities that can reliably be used to update Sequential instruments. You will also need either a USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors, like a typical USB printer cable) or a MIDI interface and cable to transmit the SysEx file from your computer to the Pro 3.

You will find instructions for updating using MIDI-OX and SysEx Librarian in the tabs above.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE

 

Be aware that loading the factory programs overwrites any user programs that are currently in memory. If you have programs you want to keep, be sure to save them to a SysEx file first. Refer to the manual for more information about initiating a SysEx dump from the Pro 3’s front panel controls.

LOADING PROGRAMS FROM WINDOWS USING MIDI-OX

 

Before starting, close all other audio or MIDI or DAW software, and disconnect all other MIDI devices. If necessary, download and install MIDI-OX.

http://www.midiox.com/

 

To prepare the Pro 3 to receive system exclusive messages:

 

  1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable (or MIDI cable, if you are using a dedicated MIDI interface).
  2. Press the Global button on your Pro 3.
  3. Use Soft Knob 1 to select “MIDI Sysex Cable” then use the Soft Knob 3 to choose either USB or MIDI, depending on which port you are using to connect to your computer.

If using USB, the Pro 3 is a Class Compliant USB device. That means it does not require any additional drivers to be installed to communicate with your computer. It will appear in MIDI-OX and other MIDI applications as a MIDI port named “Pro 3” (Under Windows XP, it will appear as “USB Audio Device.”)

If using a MIDI interface, connect the computer’s MIDI out to the Pro 3’s MIDI in. Depending on the type of interface, you may also need a MIDI cable.

 

To load the programs:

 

  1. Run MIDI-OX.
  2. From the Options menu, choose “MIDI Devices.”
  3. In the lower left quadrant of the window, select the MIDI port to which the instrument is connected. If connected via USB, choose “Pro 3” (or “USB Audio Device” under Windows XP). If connected via MIDI, choose the MIDI interface. The selected MIDI port appears in the Port Mappings window.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog and save the settings.
  5. From the View menu, choose “SysEx.”
  6. From the SysEx menu, choose “Configure.”
  7. Set the Low Level Output Buffers “Num” and “Size” to 4096.
  8. Under Output Timing, make sure that “Auto-adjust Buffer Delays if necessary” is NOT enabled.
  9. Click OK to close the dialog and save the settings.
  10. From the Command Window menu, choose “Load File.” Browse to and open the Pro 3 programs file.
  11. From the Command Window menu, choose “Send SysEx.” They will replace any existing programs in those memory locations on the synth.

LOADING PROGRAMS FROM A MAC USING SYSEX LIBRARIAN

 

Before starting, close all other audio or MIDI or DAW software, and disconnect all other MIDI devices. If necessary, download and install SysEx Librarian.

To prepare the Pro 3 to receive system exclusive messages:

 

  1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable (or MIDI cable, if you are using a dedicated MIDI interface).
  2. Press the Global button on your Pro 3.
  3. Use Soft Knob 1 to select “MIDI Sysex Cable” then use the Soft Knob 3 to choose either USB or MIDI, depending on which port you are using to connect to your computer.

 

If using USB, the Pro 3 is a Class Compliant USB device. That means it does not require any additional drivers to be installed to communicate with your computer. It will appear in SysEx Librarian, the Mac’s Audio MIDI Utility, and other MIDI applications as a MIDI port named “Pro 3.”

If using a MIDI interface, connect the computer’s MIDI out to the Pro 3’s MIDI in. Depending on the type of interface, you may also need a MIDI cable.

 

To load the programs:

 

  1. Run SysEx Librarian.
  2. Choose your MIDI interface from the “Destination” menu.
  3. Click Add/+ to add the file to the file list or simply drag and drop the file on the open SysEx Librarian window. The file name appears in the file list and should be highlighted.
  4. Click Play. They will replace any existing programs in those memory locations on the synth.

You create your own custom wavetables for use in the Pro 3 using our free Wavetable Generator web utility.

Please see the user manual below for instruction on its use.

Wavetable Generator Manual

ADD ON WAVETABLES AND PROGRAMS

 

Below you’ll find a downloadable set of 32 new wavetables (“Pro 3 Add-on Wavetables”) and an accompanying bank of 128 programs by sound designer Drew Neumann (“Pro 3 Add-on Programs”). These wavetables will load into wavetable slots 33-64, which are reserved for user wavetables. They will not overwrite the factory wavetables.

The accompanying bank of 128 programs loads into User Bank 2. If Bank 2 already has custom programs that you want to preserve, use a MIDI Utility to save them to your computer before loading the new bank of 128 custom programs.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE

 

You must load all 32 of the new wavetables before loading the new bank of 128 sound programs since the programs use the new wavetables. Be sure to reset Global parameters using the “Reset Globals” command in the Commands tab of the Global parameters menu. To load multiple wavetables consecutively, you must set a delay between each SysEx file. On a Mac running Sysex Librarian, set “Pause Between Played Messages” to 700ms. On a PC running MIDI-OX, set “delay after F7” to 700ms.

 

LOADING CUSTOM WAVETABLES

 

To load new wavetables into user slots 33-64, you will need a DAW, MIDI utility, or other application capable of opening and sending MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. MIDI-OX (Windows) and SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) are shareware MIDI utilities that you can use to do this. You’ll need a USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors, like a typical USB printer cable) to transmit the SysEx file from your computer to the Pro 3.

 

To load custom wavetables into the Pro 3:

 

  1. Turn on the Pro 3.
  2. Connect the Pro 3 to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. On the Pro 3, press the Global button, then press Soft Button 2 and set “MIDI SysEx Cable” to “USB.” Press the Global button again to exit.
  4. Use a MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows) to open all 32 wavetables.
  5. Send all 32 wavetables to the Pro 3 (refer to the documentation for your MIDI utility).
  6. To load multiple wavetables consecutively, you must set a delay between each SysEx file. On a Mac running Sysex Librarian, set “Pause Between Played Messages” to 700ms. On a PC running MIDI-OX, set “delay after F7” to 700ms.

 

Sound Designer Drew Neumann has also created a new bank of 128 Pro 3 programs that utilize these wavetables. You can download these try out the new wavetables.

 

To load the bank of 128 new programs into the Pro 3:

 

  1. Turn on the Pro 3.
  2. Connect the Pro 3 to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. On the Pro 3, press the Global button, then press Soft Button 2 and set “MIDI SysEx Cable” to “USB.” Press the Global button again to exit.
  4. Use a MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows) to open the bank of 128 programs (“Pro 3 Add-on Program Bank”).
  5. Send the program bank to the Pro 3 (refer to the documentation for your MIDI utility).
  6. When you have finished, navigate to User Bank 2 and try out the new programs.
