There’s also a Poly Mod section, where you can use the filter env or/and OSC B to modulate the filter or/and VCO’s A pitch and PW. LFO can output Triangle, Square, or/and Saw and it can be synced to clock. We’ve got two ADSR EGs, one for the filter and one for the amp, and a dedicated LFO that can modulate the oscillator’s pitch, PW, or the filter using the Mod wheel as controller. This is not as aggressive a filter as a Moog Ladder, but it is indeed lovely for a Poly. The filter is a 24dB resonant low pass which sounds as creamy as the original. Osc A can be hard-synced to Osc B for screaming leads, and in the mixer section, there’s a knob for noise (white). Oscillator A can output Sawtooth and/or Pulse with variable PW waves, while Oscillator B adds the ability to output also a Triangle wave, plus can be fine-tuned and also can be used as an LFO without keyboard control. On the other hand, the Prophet VS, was one of SCI’s latest synths before going out of business and, to my taste, is one of the weirdest (in a good sense) synths ever made, it used wavetables instead of VCOs and of course, it can be heard in lots of records, from Vangelis to Vince Clarke to Brian Eno, etc.īoth are rare and expensive synths, but, the guys from Arturia have managed to create an amazing virtual instrument that recreates both and even combines them: the Prophet V2 synth plugin, lets check it out! Pro 5īy default, when you launch the Prophet V2, it opens the Prophet 5 emulation which is pretty faithful to the original in the looks, architecture, and most important, sound. There were three Revisions, the first one, was pretty much unreliable and it’s very rare nowadays, the Rev2 is the most famous, which used an SSM chip for the filter, and Rev3 used Curtis chips. The SCI Prophet 5, is, to my taste, without any question, the most lovely analog polysynth ever made, and guess what? I’m not the only one! The Prophet 5 can be heard in an infinite number of records, from Kraftwerk to Pink Floyd to Depeche Mode, Jean Michel Jarre, to Genesis, and the list continues.
