Sequnetial Prophet-10 Dave Smith’s Synth Legend’s Ultimate Dave Smith has redesigned the Prophet 10 Rev4, a powerful 10-voice polyphonic synthesizer that incorporates features from all Prophet-10 models. It inherits the Rev3’s ultra-stable voltage-controlled oscillators and offers the option of using the Rossum-designed filter or the Curtis-designed filter. The Prophet-10’s knob-per-function design is inspired by Sweetwater synthesists. It comes pre-loaded with factory presets and 200 user slots for creative patches. The Prophet-10 is also housed in a collector-grade steel case with hand-oiled black walnut accents and end cheeks. The Prophet-10 is a drool-worthy synth for analog enthusiasts. Rock-solid oscillators The Prophet 10 is powered by two Curtis analogue CEM 3340 VCOs. The CEM 3340 VCOs, which are used in Rev3 Prophet-10s, are rock stable with almost little tuning drift. Their incorporation into the Rev3 was a watershed moment in the Prophet-10’s design, significantly improving the synth’s performance and sound quality. The Prophet-10 Rev4 includes simultaneous selectable waveshapes — sawtooth and pulse on oscillator A and sawtooth, pulse, and triangle on oscillator B — as well as pulse width modulation and hard sync for sculpting the oscillators’ timbres. The CEM 3340 VCOs provide the appropriate foundation for constructing harmonically rich analog patches. Lush, dreamy analog filters Dave and the Sequential team went above and above with the Prophet 10’s filter section. Users may choose between two accurate recreations of vintage four-pole resonant lowpass filters: the Dave Rossum-designed 2140 (a contemporary upgrade of the original 2040 featured on the Rev1 and Rev2) and the Doug Curtis-designed CEM 3320. The 2140 is ideal for gritty bass lines and rich, sweeping pads, and the 3320 excels at dialing in razor-sharp high-end for cutting lead lines. Both filters may be pushed into maddening self-oscillation, and a dedicated 4-stage ADSR filter envelope provides extensive control over the filters’ behavior. Mountains of modulation The Prophet 10 is a versatile synthesizer that offers modulation controls for creating vintage-style basses, leads, pads, brass, and strings, as well as soundscapes and effects. Its single LFO supports three waveforms and initial quantity control and can be used for pitch modulation and PWM on oscillators A and B. The Poly-Mod section allows for modification of oscillator A’s frequency, pulse width, and filter cutoff using the filter envelope and oscillator B as mod sources. Deluxe performance controls One of the most enticing parts of analog synthesizers is the tactile feel of engaging with its knobs, switches, sliders, and wheels, of which the Prophet-10 has many! With a knob-per-function architecture, the Prophet-10 gives you precise control over every parameter, allowing you to transform patches into real, breathing performances. The mod wheel and spring-loaded pitch wheel are quite snappy and enjoyable to use, and the Prophet-10’s excellent semi-weighted Fatar keyboard feels great beneath your fingertips. It’s great for making use of the Prophet-10’s velocity and aftertouch features. Turn up the retro atmosphere While influenced by the classic Prophet-10s, this newest generation has contemporary dependability and high-fidelity sound. But what if you want to add a touch of old-school instability to your sound? Not a problem! The Prophet 10 has a useful Vintage control knob that allows you to change the behavior according to its version model. Keep it clean, or go back in time to the uncommon and unstable Rev1. Do you believe the unpredictable nature of antique analog synthesizers adds to their appeal? Then you will like this function!
