Sequential Prophet-10 Special Edition Synthesizer

Descrizione

Bet you didn't see this one coming! Sequential have re-released the Prophet 10 which, for the uninitiated, is basically a double Prophet 5 synthesizer from the 1980s. In total, the new P10 features ten voices with two oscillators each, plus a noise generator, a filter with ADSR and a master/volume ADSR. Both the original P5 and P10 are monstrous synths, not just in terms of potential, but in terms of support, which explains why they were so loved by producers and composers. Meanwhile, the Prophet 10 has become extremely rare and is virtually impossible to find. It remains an icon nonetheless, even if only due to the dual-keyboard design.

The Sequential Prophet 10

The new P10 isn't as bulky as its predecessor since both the original dual-keyboard design and the sequencer have been taken out. And who cares? Most sequencing happens on a computer these days anyway, but if you do prefer to work with an external hardware sequencer, you can hook one up via the MIDI and CV/gate ports. Under the hood, the only functional difference with the P5 comes down to the number of voices which, as we've already mentioned, have been doubled to 10.

Additional Features

The Prophet 10 comes equipped with an amazing touch-sensitive Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, and modern MIDI and USB-MIDI connections. Also, if you ever find yourself missing the sonic character of the filters that came with earlier revisions, you can switch the synth back to an older rev model, and there's a special Vintage control fitted to mix in some of that more unstable, old-school sound. While it is a beauty to behold, the Prophet 10 does come at a pretty crippling price that not everyone will be able to cough up. But if you do have the money to spare, you're getting a genuine piece of freshly revamped and improved music history in return!
