The Pro One belongs to the ultimate must-have synthesizers. Although it is a small monosynth that's pretty straight forward to use it offers some unique features that clearly distinguish it from its early 80s competitors.

The Live Pack reincarnation includes more than 200 loops that are organized in three categories: Beats, Free Running, Riddmical.
Also included in the Pack are 21 instruments. Combined with Live's sound shaping capabilities the Pro One gets lifted to the presence and is even playable polyphonic.

TRUE SCHOOL includes 40 charismatic kits based both on acoustic and electronic drum sounds, all enhanced with sonic artefacts and other charismatic embellishments but with their respective natural room sound intact.

The resulting sound material is both bold and sharp as well as warm and gritty at the same time. The kits are complemented by a selection of 70 carefully designed instrument sounds created in the same sonic vein, ranging from re-sampled and specifically processed strings, brass and piano sounds to distinctive leads and basses sampled from selected sought-after analog synthesizers.

What happens when a '90s analog synth meets an '80s tape recorder? We sampled a famous Analogue Bass Synth to tape using a new old stock cassette, and boxed it into a Kontakt Instrument.
