The Prophet-10 is Dave Smith’s ten-voice adaptation of the analogue polysynth that changed the world. It’s “the best of all Prophets” as Dave puts it since it epitomizes all three modifications of the incredible Prophet-5 synth, Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3, through the utilize of honest to goodness Curtis analog VCOs and channels as within the Rev3 as well as unused 2140 low-pass channels designed by Dave Rossum, just like the 2040 channels he planned within the unique Rev1 and Rev2. A Rev switch lets you select between the two filter designs. It too alters the Channel Envelope’s shape and reaction to coordinate the initial Prophet Rev 1/2 or Rev 3 individually.
Prophet-10 works like gospel
In expansion to sourcing genuine Prophet-5 equipment components, Sequential did broad research into precisely what made the first sound the way it did — warm, natural, and lively. they found that much of this alluring character was due to slight changes and contrasts within the reaction times and frequencies of the person VCOs, channels, envelopes, and enhancers from voice to voice. Aside from the unmistakable tone of its oscillators and channels, much of the Prophet-5’s classic sound was the result of the Poly Mod, also faithfully on display here. Genuine to the first, balance sources are Channel Envelope and Oscillator B. Goals incorporate Oscillator A recurrence, Oscillator A beat width, and low-pass channel.
The extend of sounds conceivable oppose its straightforwardness. Another welcome repeat is Harmony mode, which presently highlights configurable voice tally (1-10 voices) with variable detuning, and chord memory. And presently Float works both in and out of Harmony. The virtue of the modern Prophet’s sound is coordinated as it were by its straightforwardness to program. The knob-per-function front board gives you moment delight and promptly gets to all sound-shaping controls. Flipping off the Preset button empowers live board mode, where the Prophet-10 switches to the current settings of its handles and switches.
What you see is precisely what you listen to. Included are 200 lasting manufacturing plant programs and 200 rewritable client programs, counting the first 40-program sound set from 1978 that found its way onto incalculable recordings and film soundtracks back within the day and beyond.
