Prophet Vs Software Company Arturia

Their first synthesizer, the Prophet-5 was the first programmable synth.

Who can forget the amazing Prophet T8 with its weighted keys and classic Prophet sound.

It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and waveform crossfading using the joystick.

The Prophet VS included 96 waveforms which were all 12-bit samples.

Four of these waveforms are assigned to the oscillator slots and they are then processed by an analogue signal path, with low-pass filters based on the Curtis chips; the same that were used in the Prophet 5.

The Prophet also included a very small amount of RAM that you can use to load in your own samples via the Midi sample dump standard.

The OS revision of a VS can be checked during power up.

Version 1.2 is the last update.

The VS rack can sell for double that since its considered by many to be the Holy Grail of synthesizers and less then 1000 were made making it a rare instrument.

Prophet Vs Software Company Arturia

If you dont have that kind of cash to spend on an original Prophet VS, the software company Arturia makes a virtual software version of the Prophet known as the Prophet V.

We have also produced a great set of sounds for the Arturia Prophet V that uses the best of our original Prophet VS sounds, Prophet 5 sounds and more The Prophet V is a very clever virtual synth that combines the Prophet 5 and Prophet VS into one virtual instrument.

The software has received great reviews for its sound quality compared to the original Prophets although IMO Ive yet to hear a virtual analog instrument which actually sounds as good as the original.

Thats the reason why original analog instruments (with all their faults) still sell for a very high price.

Wine Country Productions acquired the entire remaining Sequential stock, technical documentation, software, and spare parts.

Several members of the Sequential team became part of the Korg RD department and Dave Smith consulted with Korg at this time.

As a result the Korg Wavestation synthesizer, which included Vector Synthesis was born.

Sequential was bought by Yamaha and Vector Synthesis technology also went into Yamahas SY-22 and TG-33 although it never sounded as good as it does in the Prophet VS.

We have also done extensive sampling of the Prophet over the years and many of the sounds are available in WAV, Akai, Reason or Kontakt formats so its the next best thing if you dont happen to have a vintage Prophet in your collection.

Just click on the above catalog link to get to our main catalog where you can find everything.

Our sounds will also get you back in business if your Prophet VS battery has died and you lost all the sounds in the memory.
