The PRO-53 carries on the tradition from the
legendary days of vintage cult synthesizers. This virtual instrument,
fashioned after the Sequential Circuits™ Prophet™-5, provides the sonic
properties of the unique originals while meeting the practical
requirements of the present day.
Inspired by the immortal sound of the
synthesizer giants of the eighties, Native Instruments created the
PRO-53 to cast in software those qualities that have been such a major
influence on popular music in the past twenty years: brilliance, power,
warmth and beauty. Through Native Instruments' creative development
philosophy, these timeless aesthetics have now reached the next step in
their evolution. The result is the manifest re-definition of an
original that was regarded as unrivalled until now.
PRO-53 – The New Version
With the PRO-53, the third generation of the
virtual analog classic will be available soon. The synthesizer
emulation has been vastly improved by a new oscillator technology that
offers an even warmer and more brilliant sound. In addition the sonic
possibilities have been expanded even further with new features like a
high-pass filter mode and an invertible filter envelope. The control
surface was also reworked and now shines in a whole new light
