rates) and 142 destinations, which is

considerably more than the Prophet 12.

When you add the destinations accessible

directly from the auxiliary contour

generators and the LFOs, the power

of the Pro 2’s modulation architecture

becomes readily apparent.

The four CV outputs on the rear

panel of the synth are four of the

destinations in the modulation matrix,

and these suggest all manner of exciting

possibilities. But while I’ve read eulogies

elsewhere regarding the analogue I/O,

I have to wonder if the writers ever

tried using it, because this was the one

area in which the Pro 2 presented some

unexpected difficulties.

I took my Roland SH101 and patched

the Pro 2’s CV Out1 and Gate Out to the

SH101’s CV In and Gate In, then directed

the Note Number to CV1 Out in the

modulation matrix and played... and the

notes I obtained from the SH101 were

three octaves higher than I expected.

their own programming pages. (Of

course, all five contours are also freely

assignable within the modulation matrix,

and we’ll get to that in a moment.) There

are also four LFOs, each offering control

over rate, amount and waveshape and,

in addition to being available as sources

within the modulation matrix, each

can be directed to the complete list of

destinations from within their own pages.

Each LFO is individually sync’able to

the internal clock or MIDI, and you have

control over slew rate, wave reset at the

start of each note, and the phase of the

waveform when reset.

This then brings us to the modulation

matrix itself, which offers 16 freely

programmable slots (source, amount

and destination) plus 25 described as

‘fixed’, although many of these still allow

you to determine the destination and/

or modulation amount as you choose.

So, that’s 41 slots offering a total of 51

sources (many of which can run at audio

so, if you want the sound of the Pro 2

going through an Electric Mistress, you’ll

just have to plug it into one. But imagine

what you can do with four delay lines

that allow you to modulate all of their

delay times, feedback amounts, levels

and pans independently, and which also

offer independent LP/HP filtering for

each! The potential for spatial effects is

mind‑boggling. Nonetheless, if for some

reason you have access to only a single

quarter‑inch cable, an unusual but very

welcome mono mode defeats the pan

and stereo modulation settings so that

a sensible monophonic signal emerges

from a single output.

In addition to those already mentioned,

there are two further contour generators
