The new Prophet-10 is Dave Smith’s ten-voice version of the analog poly synth that changed the world. It’s “the best of all Prophets” as Dave puts it because it embodies all three revisions of the legendary Prophet-5 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. ARevswitch lets you choose between the two filter designs.
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.
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
Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
Keyboard tracking: off, half, full
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR
Three wave shapes: sawtooth, triangle, square. All waveshapes can be engaged simultaneously
Both Initial Amount and mod wheel control
Mod destinations: oscillator A frequency, oscillator B frequency, oscillator A and B pulse width, filter cutoff
POLY MOD
Sources: filter envelope and oscillator B
Destinations: oscillator A frequency, oscillator A pulse width, filter cutoff
VINTAGE KNOB
Recreates the characteristics of various Prophet-5 models by varying the behavior of oscillators, envelopes, amplifiers, and other parameters. Go from a very stable “4” — as inProphet-5 Rev4, (the new version) — all the way to “1,” as inProphet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s.
