In addition to these, you can create and save up to 500 user programs of your own. Included are 500 permanent factory programs in 10 banks of 100 programs. The knob-per-function front panel offers instant access to virtually all Prophet-6 functions. The full-featured arpeggiator can be synced to external MIDI clock as well. You can create sequences polyphonically, with rests, and sync to an external MIDI clock. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step.
Another welcome reprise is Unison mode, which features configurable voice count (1-6 voices) and key modes. Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, low-pass filter cutoff, and high-pass filter cutoff. True to the original, modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2 (both with bi-polar control). There’s also an independent stereo distortion effect, which is 100% analog.Īlso present from its classic predecessor is a Poly Mod section, with enhancements. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path.
The dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus and phase shifter. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path. There are two discrete filters per voice-a four-pole, resonant, low-pass inspired by the original Prophet-5 filter, and a two-pole, resonant, high-pass filter. Continuously variable waveshapes provide the tonal palette with triangle, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse waves. The result is pure, unadulterated analog tone with the stability and reliability of a state-of-the-art modern synth.Ĭentral to the warm, punchy sound of the Prophet-6 are its two newly-designed, discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice. Rather, as Dave puts it, “It’s the result of our effort to build the most awesome-sounding, modern analog poly synth possible.” The Prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the original Prophet-5-true voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifiers-and adds enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. But it’s not simply a reissue of a classic. The Prophet-6 is Dave Smith’s tribute to the poly synth that started it all-the Sequential Prophet-5. Det meldes om helt fravær av underliggende funksjoner (one-knob-per-function) og selvfølgelig 6 toners-polyfoni. Imidlertid er de to effektenhetene digitale. Utseende minner mer enn noen gang om klassikeren Prophet-5, og tekniske spesifikasjoner er også ganske kjente: To oscillatorer + sub oscillator, 4-pols høypassfilter – inspirert av Prophet-5, 2-pols høypassfilter og helt analog signalbane. Dave Smith forsikrer at dette ikke er en reissue, men en vintage synth med en moderne twist. Den første med Sequential-brand på nærmere 30 år heter Prophet 6. Dave Smith Sequential Prophet 6 Synthesizerĭave Smith har fått tilbake rettighetene til Sequential-navnet, som har ligget hos Yamaha i årevis.
