Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations.

Clock sync (internal or external MIDI clock).

Five wave shapes: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold).

Envelopes freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations.

Velocity modulation of each envelope amount.

Two 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR + delay) with variable routing (filter, amplifier, gate).

Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control.

Four-pole, resonant, analog low-pass filter per voice, based on Prophet 5 Rev 4 design.

Keyboard tracking on/off for each oscillator.

Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice.Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2.Continuously variable wave shape (sine, sawtooth, variable-width pulse) per oscillator.Mainly what’s missing is the extra keys and a whole lot of extra weight, size, and wood, which is kind of a good thing for some of us – even as beautiful as the Prophet-5 looks: In fact, you even gain a step sequencer/arp. It’s close enough to the Prophet-5 that you’d be forgiven for thinking I copied the wrong specs.

Plus it’s great to see dual digital effects, a DSI/Sequential hallmark, as well as enough overdrive and waveshaping to get dirty.įull specs from Sequential below. It’s got the key features – vintage knob and filter – that the Prophet reboot championed, without any sticker shock.Īnd I think the front-panel FM, easy zone splits, and all these controls and arp/sequencer will make this a terrific performance instrument. But it’s great that there’s now a mid-range synth this deep, complete with 3.5-octave keyboard.

There’s certainly still plenty to recommend Sequential’s Pro 3, Prophets, and OB-6. It still looks absolutely like a Sequential instrument – a proper 2021 take on what made us enjoy the Dave Smith renaissance in the first place. To be perfectly frank, I love this compact design with display more than the flagship Sequential stuff, just because it keeps stuff in easy reach and fits more easily on the go and in tight quarters. And they’re all nice folks.)Īnd the whole thing is just so cute. Either way, it’s great to see a direct lineage from the original chips. On the rev4, you can swap between that and the Curtis filter.

(To be clear – the filter is an SSI2140 low-pass filter from our friends at Sound Semiconductor, who derived this design directly from their SSM 2140 in the original Prophet-5 rev 1 + 2. It’s really Prophet-5: The Next Generation, with a lower price and more-svelte size to match. But otherwise, I’d take (sorry) the Take 5, with more modulation options, arp, and sequencer.

The Prophet-5 remake, apart from reproducing all the wood and classic Prophet-5 look and functionality, does have the ability to switch to a Curtis filter, plus simple easy-access poly mod for modulation. 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator.Two LFOs (1 global, 1 which you can assign to a voice).Vintage knob (for varying oscillator, filter, envelope behavior) – also the same as on the revised Prophet.Prophet-5 rev4 4-pole analog filter, with Drive.Simple analog FM (frequency modulation) – also right on the front panel.Key split so you can set up two performance zones.44 full-size keys (it’s a “premium” Fatar keybed, so they didn’t skimp there).Two VCOs and one sub-oscillator per voice.Front-panel FM and lots of other goodies, always accessible.
