Sequential FOURM vs Prophet 5


video upload by Starsky Carr

"Is the Sequential FOURM effectively a "Prophet 4"? In this deep-dive comparison, I put Sequential’s compact powerhouse up against the legendary Prophet 5 to see how closely it recreates that iconic vintage DNA.

While the FORUM shares a strikingly intuitive Prophet-style interface—complete with dual oscillators, a resonant low-pass filter, and a dedicated polymod section—it also brings modern innovations to the table that the original Prophet simply can’t match.

We’ll explore the sonic character of the FORUM’s SSI chips, which act as modern recreations of the warm, fuzzy SSM chips found in the original Prophet 5 Rev 1 and Rev 2. By recreating classic factory patches side-by-side, we reveal the subtle differences in envelope behavior and modulation flexibility between these two analog beasts.

🎹 What’s Covered:
• The "Prophet 4" Factor: Comparing the interface, layout, and "familiar" feel of both synths.
• SSI vs. SSM vs. Curtis: Breaking down the filter and oscillator chips that define their warmth and grit.
• Modern Upgrades: Exploring the FORUM’s Poly Aftertouch, built-in arpeggiator, and digital clock sync.
• The Feedback Circuit: A demo of the FORUM's unique feedback loop that adds "MiniMoog-style" grit and prevents bass loss at high resonance—something the Prophet 5 famously struggles with.
• Patch Recreation: A side-by-side listening test of 8 classic patches to hear the real-world sonic differences.

Prophet-5 vs Prophet-10: The sound test & my REAL thoughts


video upload by Doctor Mix

"πŸ”₯πŸŽΉπŸ‘‰ Explore the Sequential Prophet-10: https://sequential.com/product/prophe... πŸ‘ˆπŸŽΆπŸ”₯

A lot of people think it's just about voice count, but there's more to it. I'll take you deep into their unique character, how their polyphony impacts your composition, and critically, which one truly fits your specific production workflow and musical vision. In this video, I'm putting these iconic synths head-to-head πŸŽ›️. I'll compare their oscillators (sawtooth and square wave) and filters (Rev 1 and Rev 3) to uncover all the sonic nuances. I'll also explore modern features like aftertouch and velocity modulation found on the Prophet-10 🎹, showing you exactly how they impact expressive performance. You'll hear direct comparisons, and I'll show you how these analog machines handle tuning and drift, giving you my comprehensive take on what makes each Prophet unique.

🎬 What you’ll see and hear in this video:

• πŸ”Š My in-depth comparison of Prophet-5 vs. Prophet-10 oscillators
• πŸŽ›️ Dissecting the sonic characteristics of Rev 1 and Rev 3 filters
• 🎡 The impact of aftertouch and velocity modulation on synthesis
• 🧐 Exploring analog drift and the 'tune' function
• 🎹 How polyphony (5 vs. 10 voices) shapes my playing
• ✨ Uncovering subtle sonic differences in sawtooth and square waves
• πŸ’‘ My practical insights for choosing the right Prophet for your studio

hichord + m8.


video upload by hijaq.

"since the beginning of the year i’ve been slowly learning how to use the m8. it’s my new favorite little guy, but i still feel like i barely know what i’m doing. this is a really simple little song using the hichord as an external instrument with some touchscreen effects. there is no post-processing on this audio. still haven’t figured out how to make led screens look good on camera lol.

i have a few videos saved up so i can post weekly for the next little while. expect more m8 later, i’ll be back to traveling once it warms up so it’s coming with me ;3

all my music is free to use. liking the video or subscribing to the channel helps me make more stuff. thanks love u."

new hichord looper can make a whole song.

"hichord recently updated its looper to have six separate tracks and they asked me to try it out. i tried to get the camera as close as possible so you can read the screen. all this audio comes straight from the box with no plugins or effects."

PM Foundations Variable Filter Bank no. 4


video upload by Randy Piscione

"Here's another demo of the PM Foundations Variable Filter Bank. This time, there's no talking, just knob turning and sound. I wanted to see what sort of vowel sounds I could get. I'm using one bank, one EG for modulating the filter, one EG for the amplitude, and a bit of the unfiltered signal mixed in. When my hand disappears, it's fooling with the filter EG."

"You can easly do some feedback patch with Gotharman's Tuul; here is some exemple !

Thank you for watching.
My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expΓ©rimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with.
