Properties

OSCILLATORS:
-Two authentic CEM 3340 VCOs per voice
-Simultaneously selectable wave shapes. Oscillator A: sawtooth, pulse. Oscillator B: sawtooth, triangle, pulse.
-Pulse width per oscillator
-Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2
-Low frequency mode (oscillator 2)
-Keyboard tracking on/off (oscillator 2)
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
-Filter can be driven into self-oscillation with the Resonance control
-Keyboard tracking: off, half, full
FILTER ENVELOPE:
-Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
-Velocity modulation of envelope amount
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE:
-Four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator
-Velocity modulation of envelope amount
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 in Prophet-5 Rev4, (the new version) — all the way to “1,” as in Prophet-5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet-5s.
AFTERTOUCH:
-Channel (mono) aftertouch
-Destinations: filter cutoff frequency, LFO amount
PERFORMANCE CONTROLS:
-Full-sized, semi-weighted, premium Fatar 5-octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
-Mod wheel
-Spring-loaded pitch wheel with selectable range per program (1 to 12 semitones up and down)
-Polyphonic glide (portamento)
-Unison (monophonic) mode with configurable voice count, from one to all five voices (10 voices for Prophet-10) and key modes
-Preset switch: when off, the front panel is live; what you see is what you hear
PATCH MEMORY:
-200 user and 200 factory programs in 5 banks of 40 programs each
-Direct program access, including Prophet 5-style single-button access to the current set of 8 programs
IN/OUT:
-Mono output (1 x 1/4” phone jack)
-Headphone output (stereo, 1/4” phone jack)
-MIDI in, out, and thru ports
-USB for bidirectional MIDI communication
-Control voltage in/out (1 x 1/4” phone jack) 0- +5V input/output signal. Configured for 1-volt-per-octave operation.
-Gate in/out (1 x 1/4” 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 used to gate the envelopes of an external synth.
-Low-pass filter cutoff expression pedal input
-Volume expression pedal input
-Sustain footswitch input
POWER:
-IEC AC power inlet for internal power supply

- Weight: 14.060kg
- Height: 124mm
- Width: 952mm
- Depth: 416mm

Specifications

Operates worldwide on voltages between 100 and 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hz; Prophet-5: 20 watts maximum power consumption.

Brand

Sequential is led by legendary instrument designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith, the founder of Sequential Circuits in 1974. In 1977 Dave designed the Prophet-5, the world’s first fully-programmable polyphonic synth, and the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. Sequential released many innovative instruments and drum machines over the next 10 years. Dave is known as the driving force behind the MIDI specification in 1981. It was Dave, in fact, who coined the acronym. In 1987 he was named a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) for his continuing work in the area of music synthesis. After Sequential, Dave was President of DSD, Inc, an R&D division of Yamaha, where he worked on physical modeling synthesis and software synthesizer concepts. He then started the Korg R&D group in California, producing the Wavestation and other technology. He took over as President at Seer Systems and developed the first soft synth for Intel in 1994, followed by the first professional soft synth, Reality, released in 1997. Realizing the limitations of software, Dave returned to hardware and started Dave Smith Instruments, starting with the Evolver hybrid analog/digital synthesizer in 2002. The product lineup has grown to include the Prophet X, Prophet Rev2, Prophet-6, OB-6 (with Tom Oberheim), Pro 2, and Prophet 12 synthesizers, and the Tempest drum machine (with Roger Linn). In 2018 DSI changed its name to Sequential, bringing Dave’s legacy full-circle.
