Sequential Prophet-5 and Prophet-10
The return of the Prophets!
The Californian synthesiser maker Sequential brings its two legendary analogue synthesizers Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 back to life and, with this message, sends the prophets back up the mountain — surely making the hearts of all synthesiser fans pulse LFO-like.
What do the Prophets proclaim?
At first glance the two analogue darlings are almost identical to their predecessors — only the second keyboard on the Prophet-10 has been omitted. Between them you can only tell the Prophet-5 and the Prophet-10 apart by the prominent model designation on the right-hand edge. Once plugged in, you’ll of course hear the difference in the doubled polyphony. Depending on which model you choose, you’ll have either five or ten voices available.
With this reissue Dave Smith not only pays tribute to his analogue poly-synthesisers, which turned the world of electronic sound generation upside down in 1978 and 1980, but also brings to market the best Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 ever made!
Under the hood the analogue sound engine of the original has been reconstructed and supplemented by the respective cult chips of all three previous revisions (Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3) of the legendary synthesiser. Using the Rev switch you can now, for the first time on a single Prophet, switch between the different classics.
For even more vintage sound and to give the new Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 the same lively mojo as their predecessors, alongside original components and circuitry inside, the Vintage button provides the familiar warm, organic and slightly detuned tonal character. Naturally the legendary Poly Mod is back on board. The return of the Prophets is completed with Aftertouch, a semi-weighted Fatar keybed and the popular walnut wood casing.
The developments from Sequential can definitely be seen and heard and stand up to comparison with current synthesisers.
