The in-house reissue of the classic Prophet-10 impresses with detailed innovations, enlarged sound memory Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer This Prophet-10 from Sequential is the 10-voice version of the new Prophet-5, which is an in-house reissue of the original produced from 1978-1984. It does not refer to the two-manual Prophet-10, which was manufactured around 1980. This meticulously crafted reincarnation of one of the seminal polyphonic analog synthesizers of all time is nearly identical to the original and features a few innovations that purists and devotees of the original Prophet-5 will be happy to embrace. The keyboard synthesizer features a high-quality and very pleasantly playable 61-key Fatar keyboard, which even generates velocity and aftertouch and passes them on to the sound generator. The consistently beautiful and rich basic sound of the Prophet-5 knows how to inspire for over 40 years and has been used in countless songs. What is new? The instrument ended officially with the revision 3 (or 3.3). This "P10" presents itself modestly as revision 4 and refers discreetly to a few innovations: In addition to the excellent keyboard, the (depending on the revision number) up to ten times larger sound memory now delights with a total of 200 Factory Sounds and 200 User Sounds. The iconic 40 sounds of the very first P5 are also included in the presets. Velocity and aftertouch can be assigned directly to filter, VCA and LFO via keystroke, the dosage of the parameters is done with the playing style. The MIDI menu allows all the settings you would expect from a modern instrument. The highlight in the new Sequential Prophet-10 is found in the filter: Here you can choose between the original SSM 2040 chip from revisions 1 and 2 and the more modern SSI 2140 chip from revision 3. Sound details are noticeable in the overdrive behavior when leveling the oscillators, the resonance and the locking from the cutoff. The icing on the cake is the Vintage control, which shifts the accurate and precise circuits of revision 4 (oscillator drift, filter, envelope behavior...) towards the component-related inaccuracies of the original. This way the best possible vintage sound is achieved. The sound generation The two assertive oscillators, each based on a CEM3340 chip, feature sawtooth and square waveforms (incl. adjustable pulse width). Oscillator A can be synchronized to oscillator B, the second tone generator is additionally equipped with the triangle waveform and can be switched to low mode as well as disconnected from the pitch control. Both VCOs are combined in the mixer, where you also find the noise generator. The nice basic sound is processed with a 24dB lowpass filter full of character. It behaves similar to a Moog filter, but sounds different than the transistor cascade due to the chip used. The "P10" provides a choice of using the original SSM 2040 chip from revisions 1 and 2, or the more modern SSI 2140 chip from revision 3. Among the special features...
