Sequential Prophet 5 Analoger Synthesizer

The new Sequential Prophet-5 is Dave Smith's timely return to analog poly synthesizers that changed the world. It is "the best of all Prophet-5s", as Dave puts it, because it embodies all three revisions of the legendary synthesizer - Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 - by using real analog Curtis VCOs and filters (as in the Rev3) and new 2140 low pass filters designed by Dave Rossum, like the 2040 filters he designed in the original Rev1 and Rev2. A Rev switch allows you to choose between the two filter designs.

Features:

• Oscillators:
• Two authentic CEM 3340 VCOs per voice
• Simultaneously selectable waveforms. Oscillator A: Sawtooth, pulse. Oscillator B: Sawtooth, triangle, pulse.
• Pulse width per oscillator
• Hard synchronization: oscillator 1 synchronized with oscillator 2
• Low frequency mode (oscillator 2)
• Keyboard tracking on/off (oscillator 2)
• Mixer:
• Oscillator 1 Amount
• Oscillator 2 Amount
• amount of white noise
• Low pass filter:
• Four-pole, resonant low-pass filter per voice
• Switchable between authentic versions of the filter Prophet-5 Rev1/2 and the filter Prophet-5 Rev3
• The Rev1/2 filter is a filter designed by Dave Rossum 2140, the modern counterpart to the original 2040 filter found in the Prophet 5 Rev1 and Rev2.
• The Rev3 filter is a CEM 3320 designed by Doug Curtis
• Filter can be set to natural oscillation with the resonance control
• keyboard tracking: off, half, full
• filter envelopes:
• Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
• Speed modulation of the envelope amount
• Amp envelope:
• Four stage (ADSR) envelope generator
• Speed modulation of the envelope amount
• Low frequency oscillator:
• Three waveforms: Sawtooth, triangle, square. All waveforms can be switched simultaneously
• Both Initial Amount and Mod Wheel Control
• Mod targets: frequency of oscillator A, frequency of oscillator B, pulse width of oscillator A and B, filter cutoff
• Poly mode:
• Sources: Filter envelope and oscillator B
• Targets: Oscillator A frequency, oscillator A pulse width, filter cutoff
• Vintage button:
• Restores the characteristics of various Prophet 5 models by varying the behavior of oscillators, envelopes, amplifiers, and other parameters Goes from a very stable "4" - as in Prophet-5 Rev4, (the new version) - to "1", as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5 models.
• Aftertouch:
• Channel (Mono) Aftertouch
• Targets: Filter cutoff frequency, LFO amount
• Controller:
• 5-octave full-size, half-weighted, 5-octave fatar keyboard with touch and aftertouch
• Mod wheel
• Spring loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program (1 to 12 semitones up and down)
• Polyphonic sliding (portamento)
• Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable number of voices, from one to all five voices and key modes
• Preset switch: When it is off, the front panel is live; what you see is what you hear
• Memory:
• 200 user and 200 factory programs in 5 banks of 40 programs each
• Direct program access, including Prophet 5-style Prophet 5 access with a single button to the current set of 8 programs
• Inputs/outputs:
• Mono output (1 x 1/4" jack socket)
• Headphone output (stereo, 1/4" jack socket)
• MIDI input, output and through ports
• USB for bidirectional MIDI communication
• Control voltage input/output (1 x 1/4" jack socket) 0- +5V input/output signal. Configured for 1 volt per octave operation.
• Gate input/output (1 x 1/4-inch phone jack). Accepts a 1.5 to 15 volt on/off signal to gate the envelopes of a single voice on the Prophet 5. Outputs a 15 volt on/off signal that is used to gate the envelopes of an external synthesizer.
• Expression pedal input with low pass filter cutoff
• Pedal input for volume expression
• Sustain footswitch input
• Power supply:
• IEC-AC power input for internal power
• Works worldwide with voltages between 100 and 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz; Prophet 5: 20 watts maximum power consumption.
