2. GForce Prophet 5 vs the Hardware - Starsky Carr
I put the GForce Prophet 5 VST head-to-head against my real Sequential Prophet 5 hardware — testing filters, oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, vintage mode, FM, sync, unison, and more — to find out just how close it really gets.
The GForce Prophet 5 is the ONLY Prophet 5 software officially endorsed by Sequential, making it the only plugin that can legally call itself the Prophet 5. But does the endorsement mean anything sonically? After hours of clinical testing with spectrum analysis, oscilloscopes, and direct A/B comparisons, the results genuinely surprised me.
In this video:
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 vs Rev 3 filter comparison (SSI vs CEM — hear the -difference)
Oscillator shapes: sawtooth, square, triangle side-by-side
Pulse width modulation & LFO speed accuracy
FM / oscillator sync behaviour (I did find a minor difference here)
Polymod and audio-rate filter modulation
Unison & Vintage mode — does the voice-to-voice character match?
Low frequency oscillator mode
X-Mod section: LFOs and envelopes on everything
Built-in effects: chorus, phaser, distortion, multi-mode filter, delay, reverb
CPU load test: 10 simultaneous instances vs Ozone on the master bus
The verdict? The differences I found are no greater than you'd hear between two hardware Prophet 5s. If you don't own the hardware and aren't doing a clinical A/B, you will not notice them.
The GForce Prophet 5 is also remarkably CPU efficient — 10 instances use less CPU than a single Ozone instance. It adds two layers, up to 10-voice polyphony, full CC modulation, and an X-Mod section that turns a classic polysynth into something far more powerful."
