Sequential
The new Prophet-5 is Dave Smith's timely return to the analog poly synthesizer that changed the world. It's "the best of all Prophet-5s," as Dave puts it, because it combines all three revisions of the legendary synthesizer - Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 with each other. By using real analog Curtis VCOs and filters (as in Rev3) embodied as new 2140 low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, like the 2040 filters he designed in the original Rev1 and Rev2. A Rev switch lets you choose between the two filter designs.
The result is such a pure renewal of an analog classic, with the authentic, muscular sound of the original. A modern instrument at the cutting edge of technology.
At the same time, Sequential offers the Prophet-10, a ten-voice version of the Prophet-5 synthesizer with the same sound engine and collector-worthy design.
- Prophet-10: 10-voice version of the Prophet-5
- Oscillators:
- Two authentic CEM 3340 VCOs per voice.
- Simultaneously selectable waveforms. Oscillator A: sawtooth, pulse. Oscillator B: sawtooth, triangle, pulse.
- Pulse width per oscillator
- Hard Sync: Oscillator 1 is synchronized with oscillator 2.
- Low frequency mode (oscillator 2)
- Keyboard tracking on / off (oscillator 2)
- Mixer:
- Oscillator 1
- Oscillator 2
- White noise
- Low-pass filter:
- Four-pole, resonant low-pass filter per voice
- Switchable between authentic versions of the Prophet-5 Rev1 / 2 filter and the Prophet-5 Rev3 filter
- The Rev1 / 2 filter is a Dave Rossum-designed 2140, the modern counterpart to the original 2040 filter of the Prophet-5 Rev1 and Rev2
- The Rev3 filter is a CEM 3320 designed by Doug Curtis
- The filter can be set to self-oscillate with the resonance control
- Keyboard tracking: Off, half, full
- Filter Envelope:
- Four stage (ADSR) envelope generator.
- Speed modulation of the envelope amount
- Amplifier Envelope:
- Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
- Speed modulation of the envelope amount
- Low Frequency Oscillators:
- Three waveforms: Sawtooth, Triangle, Square. All waveforms can be activated simultaneously
- Both the initial amount and the mod wheel control
- Mod targets: Frequency of oscillator A, frequency of oscillator B, pulse width of oscillator A and B, filter cutoff.
- Poly Mode:
- Sources: Filter envelope and oscillator B.
- Targets: Oscillator A frequency, Oscillator A pulse width, filter cutoff.
- Vintage Knob:
- Restores the characteristics of various Prophet 5 models by varying the behavior of oscillators, envelopes, amplifiers, and other parameters. Go from a very stable "4" - as in Prophet-5 Rev4 (the new version) - to "1", as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s
- Aftertouch:
- Channel (mono) aftertouch
- Targets: Filter cutoff frequency, LFO amount
- Performance Control:
- Full-size, high-quality Fatar 5-octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
- Mod Wheel
- Spring-loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program (1 to 12 semitones up and down)
- Polyphonic glide (portamento)
- Unison mode (monophonic) with configurable number of voices, from one to all five voices (10 voices for Prophet-10) and key modes
- Preset switch: when this option is off, the front panel is active. What you see is what you hear
- Patch memory:
- 200 user and 200 factory programs in 5 banks of 40 programs each.
- Direct program access, including Prophet 5-style one-button access to the current set of 8 programs
- Connectors:
- Mono output (1 x 6.3mm jack)
- Headphone output (stereo, 6.3mm jack)
- MIDI In, Out and Thru ports
- USB for bidirectional MIDI communication
- Control voltage input / output (1 x 6.3mm jack) 0- + 5V input / output signal. Configured to operate at 1 volt per octave.
- Gate In / Out (1 x 6.3mm jack). Accepts a 1.5 / 15 volt on / off signal to control the envelopes of a single voice of the Prophet-5. Outputs a 15 volt on / off to control the envelopes of an external synthesizer.
- Low-pass filter cutoff expression pedal input.
- Volume control pedal input
- Sustain footswitch input
- Power supply:
- IEC AC input for internal power supply.
- Operates worldwide on voltages between 100 and 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz; Prophet-5: 20 watts maximum power consumption. Prophet-10: 28 watts maximum power consumption.
- Dimensions: 95.3 x 41.6 x 12.4 cm
- Weight: 14.06 kg
