![]() The recording process is easy, like on the Roland SH-101, just play notes per step on the keyboard and the sequencer is being filled. ![]() The sequencer is a 64-step polyphonic sequencer with up to 6 notes per step. ![]() Lastly keyboard tracking for both filters is incorporated with three options. The filters can be modulated by the excellent Poly Mod and via LFO1/Mod wheel as well. The same counts for the filter envelope amounts, these are also bi-polar, a nice and welcome improvement on the legacy, ehrm, legendary design of the prophet-5. But also to aftertouch via the aftertouch section with bi-polar amounts. But it is only guessing from our side.īoth filters also have the ability to react to velocity with the touch on a dedicated button. So improving on legacy designs and take them three steps ahead. It is probably also why Dave wanted to innovate instead of looking back too much. So this is – in our book – why this synth is so special if you compare it to a Prophet-5, as it broadens up the sonic palette hugely. The high-pass filter is a very smooth sounding 2-pole resonant filter but without the self-oscillation. It has the ability to be driven into self-oscillation from about 85% resonance and upwards. You have a 4-pole resonant low-pass filter per voice, which is inspired by the Prophet-5 filter. The Dual Filtersīoth these filters are, well, just very good and juicy sounding. Press for ON or for putting it OFF and back into the classic Slop Mode. Number 4 is indicating if the mode is ON or OFF. You can activate the new Vintage Mode by accessing the third Globals Menu via a press of both +. Basically you are trimming all these parameters per voice, which is really good sounding and it also means that you have a complete new synthesizer at your disposal if you ask us. The beauty of Vintage Mode is that it introduces fluctuations per voice but not only in pitch, like the Slop Mode, but also to the filter and the envelopes settings. At a maximum setting the classic Slop mode is barely usable whereas it is very usable in the Vintage Mode. The difference with the classic Slop mode is not subtle. In any case, it came as a very welcome surprise that Sequential decided to – as of firmware v1.6.7 – introduce a new vintage mode. But even with that feature, lots of users didn’t really fall in love with the – now – classic Slop mode. But perhaps too good, since as the traditional Slop mode was introduced right of the bat. Since OS v1.6.7, the Prophet-6, but also the OB-6 have a vintage mode that is inspired by the one featured on the Prophet-5 Rev4.īack in the day the Rev 1 and 2 could go easily out of tune, but with the Prophet-6 this was fixed. Next up are 5 things we really like about this excellent synthesizer. It reminds us a bit of the Roland Juno-60 for example. The user experience or interaction between human and machine is something that is really special and well thought out. When programming the sounds for our first sound expander ‘ Tales of the Prophet‘ for the Prophet-6 we fell in love with it very quickly. ![]() 5 things we like about the Sequential Prophet-6 ![]()
