Pro one synth1/19/2024 ![]() The Tweaks page ‘removes’ the top panel of u-he’s virtual Pro One to reveal the PCB beneath and expose ten under-the-hood adjustables. The Perform section next to the keyboard steps outside the Pro One template by adding a pair of open-ended modulation pairings, linking two from an assortment of sources (Trigger, Gate, Expression, LFO, Key Follow, Velocity, Aftertouch, Amp Envelope, the ASR/AR envelope of the Jaws effect, etc) to any synth and effects controls via drag and drop. The output signal from each source is sent to either of two busses - Direct and (mod) Wheel - and each destination is set to ‘receive’ on one or the other of said busses, making it easy to mix regular and wheel-modulated movements. Then there are three routable mod sources - the Filter Envelope, the output of Osc B and an LFO (with host sync and the same three mixable waveforms as Osc B) - each of which can modulate any of five possible targets: the Frequency and Pulse Width of both oscillators, and the Filter cutoff. First, there’s an ADSR envelope hardwired to the amp, with adjustable curve. The modulation options in the Synth page mirror those of the Pro One exactly. The outputs of the two oscillators are blended in the Mixer section, along with a white noise generator or bass-boosting feedback circuit. Pulse width knobs alter the duty cycles of the pulse waves, oscillator A is hard syncable to Osc B, and Osc B’s Lo Freq setting slows it down to sub-audible speeds for use as a second LFO. Oscillator A outputs saw and/or pulse waves, while Osc B generates saw, triangle and pulse waves. u-he hasn’t worked in a polyphonic mode of any kind, so you won’t be making pads with it any time soon - it’s still all about mono basses, leads, plucks, drums and suchlike. In a nutshell, two monophonic oscillators and a low-pass filter are brought to life by a handful of modulation sources, an arpeggiator and a step sequencer, and processed with a quintet of newly added effects modules, all from a single panel. ![]() Repro headīeing essentially a 35-year-old design, it should come as no surprise that Repro-1’s architecture is comparatively basic. ![]() Behind that are the Tweaks page, Sequencer panel and Presets browser, the last housing 500 patches, including all 20 of those printed in the Pro One manual. The interface centres on the Synth page, which recreates - albeit with a few additions and changes - the look and layout of the Pro One.
