![]() And now Glide works both inside and outside Unison. Another welcome reprise is the Unison mode, which now features a configurable voice count (1-5 voices) with variable detuning and chord memory. The possible range of sounds defies its simplicity. Destinations include oscillator A frequency, oscillator A pulse width, and low pass filter. True to the original, modulation sources are Filter Envelope and Oscillator B. In addition to the unmistakable tone of the oscillators and filters, much of the classic sound of Prophet-5 was the result of Poly Mod, which is faithfully present here as well. Go from a very stable “4” – as in Prophet-5 Rev4, that’s how we refer to the new version in the house – all the way to “1”, as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s. Use it to dial in as much old-school randomness as you want. To give the same mojo to the new Prophet-5, we created the Vintage button. ![]() We found that much of this desirable character was due to small fluctuations and differences in the response times and frequencies of the individual VCOs, filters, envelopes and amplifiers from voice to voice. ![]() In addition to purchasing genuine sequential Prophet-5 hardware components, they’ve done extensive research into exactly what made the original sound: warm, organic, and vibrant. The result is a pure renewal of any analog classic you could wish for, with the authentic, muscular tone of the original and the technical control of a state-of-the-art modern instrument. A Rev switch allows you to choose between the two filter designs. ![]() It is “the best of all the Prophet-5s”, as Dave puts it, as it embodies all three revisions of the legendary synthesizer – Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3 – through the use of genuine Curtis analog VCOs and filters (as also in the Rev3) as new 2140 low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, like the 2040 filters he designed in the original Rev1 and Rev2. The new sequential Prophet-5 is Dave Smith’s return to the analog poly-synth that changed the world. ![]()
