Dave Smith, developer of MIDI, has put together some fine instruments over the years. Once a person gets their hands on one of said instruments, they tend to hang onto it. Just so with Emily Haines of Metric, who has had (and used, used, used) her Sequential Circuits Pro-One for years.

Bandmate Jimmy Shaw tells Gearwire how the Pro-One fits nicely into the Metric mix, and how it's probably one of the most distinguishing sounds of the band.
