Sequential Circuits PRO-One monophonic synthesizer. Designed by former West Coast computer scientist, Dave Smith, as a more affordable cousin to his legendary Prophet-5, the PRO-One was the first professional synthesizer priced below $1000 dollars. Among many innovations, it contained a revolutionary internal digital interface, which allowed connection to home computers, and was a fore-runner of MIDI. Around 10,000 PRO-Ones were made between 1981 and 1984, and they remain in great demand in electronic music today. The PRO-One has been used by artists including: Prince, Soft Cell, Richard Barbieri, Vince Clarke, New Order, Hardfloor, Überzone, the Prodigy, Cirrus, Fluke, Depeche Mode, Download, Banco De Gaia, Freddy Fresh, Mouse on Mars, and Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
