Common Dave Smith Instruments Pro 3 Questions
How do I sync the Pro 3's sequencer to an external MIDI clock?
In the Global settings, set 'MIDI Clock In' to 'Auto' or 'MIDI'. Then, send MIDI clock from your external device to the Pro 3's MIDI In port and ensure 'Clock Source' in Sequencer Settings is set to 'MIDI'.
Where are my presets, patterns and kits stored, and how can I back them up?
The Pro 3 stores presets, patterns, and kits in its internal memory. Back up your Pro 3 using the 'Transmit System Exclusive' (SysEx) function in the Global menu to send all data to a MIDI sequencer or SysEx librarian.
How do I quickly transpose a sequence I've created on the Pro 3?
While the sequencer is running, hold down the 'Hold' button and then press a key on the keyboard to transpose the sequence to that key's root note.
Why is my Pro 3 not making any sound, even though it's powered on?
First, ensure the 'Volume' knob isn't turned down and that the 'Cutoff' knob isn't fully closed. Then, check the 'Filter Tracking' setting; if it's too high, the filter might be suppressing all frequencies.
What's the best way to use the Pro 3's Paraphonic mode to create interesting textures?
Engage Paraphonic mode via the voice parameters page, and experiment with different oscillator tunings and filter settings for each note, creating evolving harmonic relationships within a single sequence.
