I'll bet a billion dollars it's a new mono of some sort wit the P6 oscillators...maybe a cheaper desktop type box or a full fledged high end mono keyboard to match the prophet 6.
Just read somewhere that the pro one was the first synth to have legato portamento ( glide only when notes are held ) , so maybe its a hint at a pro one flavored release ???

You could be right!
Now for Dave's dilemma: the Mopho's PCB had "Pro One 2" printed on it and he already has a synth called the Pro 2. What would he call this one?
No Portamento button I can see on P5, P10, T8, P1, P2, P12, P08 or P6. They all have glide knobs.
I've seen that before but I can't remember where?
You are right, and yes I have seen it before as well. It's definitely old school as in Sequential type switch. None of the DSI machines used those switches.
I can bet whatever it is it's probably coming out under the Sequential brand rather than the DSI which leads me to believe it will be something related to the old school.
Oh damn it would so cool to see a modern Prophet VS!
P.S. Why in the hell does it have to be a Mono synth just because of a Portamento switch?
Given the way he announced and promoted the Pro 2 I doubt that. He promoted it as the successor to the Pro 1 much like he promoted the P6 as the successor to the P5.
I honestly think this has Poly synth not Mono synth all written all over it. After all look at the ratio of mono synths to Poly's he has always made.
Plus it's interesting that there are no more Evolvers being marketed and while the P12 amd Pro 2 are hybrids they are not like the Evolvers or VS.
Wishful thinking is new Pro One style mono perhaps with both the SSM and SEM filters. No presets. Killer would be the ability to arpeggiate the sequencer (like a Buchla Easel). And while I'm dreaming fully CV patchable.
I agree that we are looking at something new from Sequential but why call it portamento instead of glide like on the P6 unless it behaves differently? Is there a difference between glide and portamento? Maybe you don't have to play legato for the notes to glide or maybe it has something to do with the way the amp envelope resets or the way an arpeggio behaves.

isnt glide for only certain or held notes and portamento global?
think maybe be glide and porto have got mixed up over years.
i thought that with glide ,you play a note and the pitch moves from a set range ,then "glides" to the note you play where as porto moves from one played note to the next plyed note
