The Prophet-5 Desktop Module shares the same intuitive set of front-panel controls and realistic vintage tones that are present on the Prophet-5 synth However, thanks to a more compact design – with a far smaller footprint – the module will slot seamlessly into your studio setup

The original Prophet-5 was arguably the most popular synth that Sequential ever produced This analog poly synth left a truly unique stamp on the face of music and technology; it was a timeless piece of instrumental design Now the Prophet-5 has been reintroduced – in module format – for a modern-day audience

Old-School Architecture

All three revisions found on the now legendary synth have been included: Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 This has been made possible via genuine Curtis analog filters and VCOs, further bolstered via brand new 2140 low-pass filters (which were meticulously created by Dave Rossum) You can then swap between the contrasting filter designs using the dedicated Rev switch This use of genuine hardware offers a performance that mirrors that of the original

Sturdy Backbone

It boasts MIDI, USB, Gate and CV ins/outs – offering a host of useful connectivity options All of this is encased in a rustic-looking, sustainable walnut heartwood, providing a premium look that matches its premium sound and playability The housing is has been finished using careful steel and hand-oiling techniques

The Vintage Knob Poly Mod

Part of the Prophet-5 s initial intrigue was the almost random nature of the frequencies and response times of separate envelopes, filters, VCOs, and amplifiers from each voice These were all sprinkled with a now instantly recognisable dynamic, warm and nuanced sound As a result of this, Sequential decided to incorporate the Vintage Knob in an effort to retain the very same character and feel This knob can be used to select just how random you want your sounds to become

Poly Mod also played a part when it came to the Prophets sound – so once again, Sequential have incorporated it here Your modulation sources come in the form of Oscillator B and Filter Envelope The destinations are the likes of Oscillator A pulse width, Oscillator A frequency and low-pass filter This all allows for a depth and breadth of sound creation that is almost mind-boggling

Shape Program

Moulding your ideal sound is made easy via simple programming functions This is done through the knob-per function front panel – which offers a streamlined, hands-on layout for intuitive tonal crafting With 200 rewritable programs (encompassing the same 1978 40-program suite which was used on a multitude of hit tracks and film soundtracks) and 200 permanent factory programs, there s plenty of scope here for serious creativity
