The world's first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer returns with this rerelease of the Prophet-5. The Prophet-5 Rev4 is Dave Smith's faithful recreation of the iconic analog poly synth. The result is a pure renewal of an analog classic. The Prophet-5 synth has the authentic, muscular sound of the original, with the roadworthiness of a state-of-the-art modern instrument.
Every Revision in One This reintroduction embodies all three revisions of the legendary synth: the Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3. The Prophet-5 features genuine Curtis analog VCOs and filters, as used in the Prophet-5 Rev3. Elements of the Rev1 and Rev2 come out in the 2140 low-pass filters. Designed by Dave Rossum, the filters are the modern equivalent of the 2040 filters he designed in the original models. A Rev switch lets you choose between the two filter designs.
Authentic Sound Faithful to the original, the Prophet-5 features five voices with two multi-waveform analog oscillators, resonant analog low-pass filters and amplifiers, and a filter and amplifier envelope per voice. Modulation is provided by a multi-waveshape LFO and Poly Mod. This ground-breaking modulation scheme allowed the filter envelope and oscillator B to be routed to a variety of destinations, including filter cutoff frequency, oscillator A frequency, and oscillator A pulse width.
The original 40 Prophet-5 factory sounds are also included for a full vintage experience.
Dial In Vintage Character For even more authenticity, the Prophet-5 includes the Vintage knob. Use it to dial in as much old-school randomness as you’d like. The knob will loosen up the oscillators and envelopes, just like they were in the good old days. The
