Prophet-5 is Dave Smith’s return to the analog poly synth that changed the world. It’s “the best of all Prophet-5s” as Dave puts it because it embodies all three revisions of the legendary synth — Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3 — through the use of genuine Curtis analog VCOs and filters (as in the Rev3) as well as new 2140 low-pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, like the 2040 filters he designed in the original Rev1 and Rev2. A Rev switch lets you choose between the two filter designs. It also adjusts the Filter Envelope’s shape and response to match the original Prophet Rev 1/2 or Rev 3 respectively.
The result is as pure a renewal of an analog classic as you could wish for, with the authentic, muscular sound of the original and the roadworthiness of a state-of-the-art modern instrument.
Oscillators
- Two authentic CEM 3340 VCOs per voice
- Three simultaneously selectable wave shapes (triangle, sawtooth, pulse) per oscillator
- Pulse width per oscillator
- Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
- Low frequency mode (oscillator 2)
- Keyboard tracking on/off (oscillator 2)
- “Vintage” knob for increased tuning instability, reproduces characteristics of all original revisions of Prophet-5
Mixer
- Oscillator 1 amount
- Oscillator 2 amount
- White noise amount
Low-Pass Filter
- Four-pole, resonant, low-pass filter per voice
- Switchable between authentic versions of the Prophet-5 Rev1/2 filter and Prophet-5 Rev3 filter
- Rev1/2 filter is a Dave Rossum-designed 2140, the modern counterpart of the original 2040 filter found in the Prophet-5 Rev1 and Rev2
- Rev3 filter is a Doug Curtis-designed CEM 3320, the modern counterpart of the original found in the Prophet-5 Rev3
- Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
- Keyboard tracking: off, half, full
Filter Envelope
