One of the most popular virtual analog synthesizers enters the third round. The reworking of many details allows the much acclaimed software synthesizer to shine forth in a whole new light as the PRO-53: due to a new oscillator technology the sound is even more brilliant, warm, and powerful. Additional functions, like a high-pass filter mode and the invertible filter envelope, provide for expanded sonic possibility. Plus the more ergonomic operation and new MIDI functions guarantee even more comfortable handling.

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.

The New Version

With the PRO-53, the third generation of the virtual analog classic is now available. 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.

Using Native Instruments' highly advanced NSP-Technology (Native Signal Processing) it is possible to generate a software synthesizer that rivals its legendary hardware predecessors. The Native Instruments PRO-53 sets new standards without denying its origins. What's new: no fixed limit to the number of voices, many more savable preset slots, velocity sensitivity, MIDI automation of all available parameters, an additional effects section, a high-pass filter mode, invertible filter envelope, audio input, LFO-envelope retrigger, and the option to run several PRO-53s in parallel.

Sounds for any eventuality

The PRO-53 is able to import Prophet-5™ SysEx sound data, which means it can read and accurately reproduce all the existing sound libraries made for the original. The subtle deviations from perfect behaviour, which are typical of analog circuits and crucial to the sound, can now be fine-tuned.

The huge sound library gives the PRO-53 plenty of material for all kinds of musical styles: 512 selected classic and modern analog sounds cover any possibility.

64 of these sounds have already been programmed for the previous version by synthesizer legend John Bowen, one of the creators of the Prophet™-5 synthesizer. In addition, PRO-53 comes with 64 new sound presets, which were specially designed to take advantage of PRO-53's new features.

512 preset memory slots are available where you can store your own sound creations. The PRO-53 displays a name for each of the presets, unlike the original which only displayed the preset number.

Effects

A built-in effects unit adds multi-echo and ultra-fat chorus and flanging effects. This makes the sound of the PRO-53 'complete' for both live performance and studio production. The included preset sounds make extensive use of the effects. The PRO-53 also has an audio input for processing external audio signals through its filters and effects.

Integration

The Native Instruments PRO-53 integrates perfectly into any computer based virtual studio by supporting the interfaces VST®, Audio Units™, DXi™ and RTAS™. It can be used as a sequencer plug-in or as a stand-alone synthesizer. It is possible to run several PRO-53 plug-in instances in parallel.
