Product Description

Imagine... You're looking at your computer screen and within two clicks you find exact recreations of two of the most influential analogue and digital synths existing in the 1980's. Then, with another click, you find a perfect fusion of both of these; an instrument giving you a remarkable spectrum of timbres ranging from the digital crystalline to the warmth of analog.

With the Prophet V, You No Longer Have to Imagine
Arturia has taken the first and last synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits and brought them to you in an easy to use software format. As with all other soft-synths created by Arturia, they bring you a replica of the Prophet 5 and VS both visually and sonically. Using the Prophet V will be second nature for all you old-pros, and if you're new to the synthesizers, the only thing you'll miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Since the Prophet V is designed with Arturia's TAE technology, you can be sure you won't give up sound quality.

3 Interfaces in the Prophet V: Prophet 5, Prophet VS, and Hybrid Mode
The Prophet 5 and Prophet VS emulations have all the goodies of the originals (5 voice polyphony, white noise modulators, dynamic waveform crossfading with joystick, etc). You can even import any existing preset banks from the original synthesizers in a format called SysEx sound data. This data was one of the truly unique attributes of the original synthesizers because it allowed musicians to save their presets for one of the first times ever. With Arturia's Prophet V, we have respected this spirit by allowing you to use the presets you've already created in the original synthesizer while playing the synthesizer in its software counterpart. The Hybrid mode is both synthesizers stacked one on top of the other offering you an entirely new world of possibilities.

Arturia has taken the first and the last synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits and brings them to you in an easy to use software instrument format. As with all other soft synths created by Arturia, these replicas of the Prophet-5 and Prophet VS are accurate both visually and sonically. Using the Prophet V2 will be second nature for the connoisseurs. And if you are new to these synths, the only thing you will miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Finally, since the Prophet V2 is designed with Arturia's TAE technology, you can be sure you will not give up sound quality.

The virtual emulation offered in the Prophet V is an exact replica of the original instrument and uses the same subtractive synthesis model. Subtractive synthesis refers to the filtering of sounds in a specific way in order to create harmonically rich waveforms and new timbres. Our reproduction of Subtractive synthesis with TAE guarantees the sound quality of the instrument.
The Prophet V carries all of the original parameters, and the 40 original presets of the Prophet 5. The potentiometers or switches associated to these 54 parameters will permit you to create an infinite variety of sounds that were native to the original synthesizer.

- Compatibility with the presets of the original synthesizer

- 2 analog oscillators (TAE technology)

- 1 white noise module

5 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Analogue Heaven!!!"
Sound: Simply the best analogue software model. It sounds warm and lush, and it has that Prophet sound. Its twangs just like the real thing, espeically on pad sounds. The resonance filter is beautiful, no artifacts like other software. I also own the NI Pro53 and compared to that, the Prophet V is simply leaps ahead. It sounds like a real peice of analogue hardware. The presets are decent, but its when you programme your own sounds, that the interface shines. Feature: Its like 2 synths in one, but the hybrid mode is like another synth on top. Its allows you to blend the Prophet 5 with the Prophet VS digital sounds. You basically end up with new sounds, and sound that are impossible to creat otherwise. Ease of Use: the manaul is chunky, and it details well, but i just dived straight in and almost learnt it in a day. Its pretty simple interface, but has a lot up it sleave. Quality: Superb!!! The graphics are crystal clear and very live like. Im sure it affects more cpu though. The sound quality is out of this world. Its the warmest software sound i have ever heard. I also own many hardware synths like the SE-1X, Andromeda, poly evolver, Motif, Triton. The Prophet V has upto 32 voice unlike the hardware 5. Its also has some out of tune patches, which emulates the original like for like. I have heard the orginal many times and have played a few times back in 1988. Value: This soft synth is worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: Not too sure, but i have emailed them, and got a reply 2 days later. Seems OK. The Wow Factor: Very lust. The graphics are crisp, and look just like a virtual Prophet 5. Very neat interface. Overall: The best soft synth...period.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This is epic!!"
Sound: In replicating the sound of a real vintage synth, the Prophet V has done an excellent job. Every sound that comes from this synth is clean in the sense that you get pure analogue. Feature: This VST is really fun! There are so many possibilities with the combination of the VS and Prophet V. Ease of Use: Piece of cake. Start it up, pick sounds, play. I have four gigabytes of memory and this VST loads quickly and correctly. It's so simple to make new sounds and save them into custom folders. Everything is easy to see, and move. 'Ease of Use' is the most important factor to me, and Arturia has FAILED to let me down here. Quality: Clean, looks cool, sounds epic, easy to use, and under $200?? This VST sounds just like the real deal from the 70s and 80s. Your digital recordings will AWE your audiance. Value: With it's simplicity, accurate sound, availible help, and it's cost, there is no way it gets less than 10/10 Manufacturer Support: There is a patch for this VST on Arturia's website. Download, install. It works. 10/10 The Wow Factor: I proposed to it. Overall: If you're still reading this, quit being indecisive, and make the best decision of your musical career.
